I could think "Troubled Times" could be something "different" in its sound/melody. In a few words: No risks, no fun. They did take the risks, but Andy Scheps reverse them to make the songs more radio friendly. The bow guitar was there, but only with the stems leaked I could notice where it was. That and the trumpet that Ronnie Blake recorded For foam lyrics, I always loved them. This account is stan for IWATT. That song makes me weep a little every time I listen to it. Sometimes simplicity can communicate a lot and that songs does to me. Not to mention they are always looking for pushing their boundaries as artists. That's why I keep following them. 4

I don't know if they are still there Although when you listen closely to Bouncing Off the Wall, when you notice the trumpet, it’ll stick out like a sore thumb. And the bow guitar can easily be heard throughout Outlaws 1

It's what they needed to do after rehab and the trilogy, 3 longtime friends getting back together in a studio without a label or producer pressuring them. I like how reflective the lyrics were, I'd much rather have lyrics like that instead of party songs. I feel like foam was definitely a misstep Agree foam was a bad idea I honestly can't stand that era the music, billie running around singing without a guitar the whole thing just seemed lazy 4

Jason's always doing the lead guitar when they play live anyway 1

DookieLukie Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Not sure the hashtag confirms it’s the album title but that sounds like a Green Day album title. Could also be the single title or maybe the lead single shares the name of the album. 1
AnonymWarnerGermany Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 If the Album is called American dream, theres almost no way it's not in any way a Sequel to American Idiot 2

alienlifeform Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Didn't Smashing Punpkins release a follow up to Mellon Collie this year?
That Dude Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Maybe they were writing 1972 when inspiration from above struck, giving a plausible idea for a sequel to American Idiot. And they decided to shoot all cylinders into the sun, the stars and have a blast. American Idiot Part 2!!!!!! 1
Popular Post Little Boy Named Booze Posted October 4, 2023 Popular Post Posted October 4, 2023 They wanted to fuck with the fans and call FOAM American Idiot Part 2. And now you're telling me the album RIGHT after FOAM would be AI 2 for real? Nah it can't be a sequel. It can be a rock opera, a story, political, whatever you want but I don't believe in a sequel of AI. 13
Popular Post jakdokinori Posted October 4, 2023 Popular Post Posted October 4, 2023 It may not be intended as a sequel, but there's no way they would name the album American Dream (if that is actually the album title) without being highly aware of the obvious parallel people would make with American Idiot. 6
legendary Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Anyone here got invited to the top secret GD Event? 1
JReevz Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Sequel or not I’m just excited that it seems like we’re going to have the band tap back into directly talking about politics, discontent, etc. In the songs. I know rev rad and even FOAMF had politically charged lyrics but Billie in interviews said they wanted to stay away from writing directly about Trump/politics. From what we’ve seen/know it sounds like our boys are back in the saddle 2
