I agree with @Sheenius that the problem with the songs were that he gave up on good ideas halfway through. Half the songs feel like they’re missing something, a bridge, another verse, a change up in the chorus whatever. The album just leaves me feeling unsatisfied in both the songs and the overall short runtime. It’s like an elevator pitch of a great album.

That’s why they needed Cavallo back! Glad that it happened.

He’s the fifth Beatle for sure

Hope we get some AI Billie vocals and not too heavy of vocal filters.

Personally I'd prefer to hear the real Billie rather than an AI

Billie - I hate long songs.

Maybe Billie thinks of it as five separate songs, 😄.

And do we know for sure Butch Walker was with them in London to record those first 6 songs? I feel like we got confused by the fact that Walker said he was producing the next Green Day record in 2020, which I believe was the Network record

Soooooo...is the obviously photoshopped in Dos XX bottle in Billie's new story a nod to an Oct. 20th, pre-WWWY, secret show?!

Because XX = 20 you mean? 

[Flashback]

In American Idiot Billie and Mike both did the harmonies together. Would be cool if they did that again. Gives the harmonies a more gang-like sound I think.

He definitely was NOT in London with the band, he’s not been involved in this record.

Green Day will be featured in the TV Series Power Hour on AXS. It's starting October 5th.
Power Hour breaks down the biggest news and latest videos in rock.

They're not gonna be in the first episode this Thursday I guess but maybe after the Music Video. So maybe the episode on October 26th.

Lots of love at work for my Trump nimrod shirt today. Feels good.

Anyhoo, Album 14 should have 14 songs. You know, for consistency.

I just saw the photo, I think he put the Dos bottle in there because of the way Lenny was sitting with his elbow out, it looks like the guy from their commercials

I don’t think that’s entirely true, like always there are some gems there, but you have to dig a little deeper to find them. “Rock and roll fantasy, I think the next one could be me”, “All hell is breaking loose and heaven only knows” are my favorites

Is it not “Rock N Roll tragedy?” Love that line as well.

For those who signed up for tomorrow, has anyone heard anything yet? 😅

[GDFan2019]

Anybody here going to that top secret event tomorrow night?

I have multiple friends who submitted to be in the music video, but nobody has heard back yet.

[jakdokinori]

As someone mentioned, the form you have to fill out after hitting SNOOZE on the website from October 1st no longer asks for your address, just your email and your country/region. Any thoughts as to why that might have changed? Someone floated the idea of the first X amount of people to sign up may get sent some merch or something later on down the line.

Great way to put it. It’s like foam had ADD or something. For example that intro in Take The Money and Crawl should have been the intro to the album as a whole.

Then there’s the whole production of the album. A song like Graffitia would have been great at a faster tempo. 
 

Guys I’m going to produce the next Green Day album. I can’t promise much but I can promise to beat Foam.

I bet if AI produced foam it would be a better record
