[Flashback]

Bobby Sox hits way harder than I expected when I first listened to it during the pre-listening session. ❤️

[dudley dawson]

After my first full album listen, Suzie Chapstick, Goodnight Adeline, and 1981 are my favorite non-single tracks. Excellent album overall, the chorus of Bobby Sox being the only thing I didn’t enjoy.

[suffoKate]

An instant classic Green Day album!

[baggyshus]

Coma City, Suzie Chapstick and Goodnight Adeline are my personal favorites.

Guitar solos on this record are also really good. I missed the solos from the trilogy but Billie really lets it rip on this record. Dilemma is probably one of my favorite solos from them ever.

They ALL do! Hahahahhaa!

[stories and songs]

Goodnight Adeline is a huge standout to me. It’s just awesome. Beautiful lyrics, love how Billie sings it. Really powerful. I’m also immediately, deeply obsessed with Living in the 20s. It goes so hard, the lyrics are so clever. This album is so funny and sarcastic at times. Tons of great one-liners.

My tentative top 5 (not counting the singles, because idk how they fit in my ranking yet — I think Dilemma is still my favorite, or at least definitely in my top 5!):

1. Goodnight Adeline

2. LIT20s

3. Fancy Sauce

4. Bobby Sox

5. Coma City

But like seriously, there are no misses on this album. It’s excellent. It’s VERY hard to choose a top 5. This album is the perfect mix of everything Green Day is — it’s fun, it’s smart, it’s heartfelt, it’s silly. It captures their varied sounds and energy so well.

Been looping Coma City for the last hour. Great tune that gives me huge Static Age vibes!

Coma city outro is like the old jams they had on 39 smooth and it’s so refreshing!

Solid album, there best work in ages and by quite some distance.

Saviours and Corvette Sunmer are standouts of the non-singles for me.

Living in the 20’s is awful though.

[HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN]

This record just keeps getting better. I’m really in love with it, so many feelings that will take a while to process. 

[purplebenny]

I really don’t get the LiT20s hate..

I really like it! The guitar the drum, it’s a nice change of pace too

Strange Days Are Here to Stay and Living In the 20’s are my two favourites from the record. Lyrics and energy on both tunes are phenomenal 

[HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN]

Ah, missed the times like this where you have to go to page 2 or 3 to find the thread you wanted to check ❤️

And just sharing more chills for this record, and the production of this, Jesus Christ so fucking on point. Missed you Rob, kinda forgot how much having the dream team in place means for a record of this band. Wow wow wow.

tell me how dissapointed where you, when you realized billie joe only makes out with a girl in a music video about a song in which he *allegedly* only expresses his bisexuality? 😂😂

if he is an totally openly and proud LGBTQIA+ singer why only choose a girl and not both? Sad day for you guys 🥸

What is wrong with you? This kind of shit is just unnecessary.

Can you stop? You are a troll and you just look stupid, there’s nothing fun in what you are doing. You purposely ignore the evidence that everyone is providing you which demonstrate how much of an ignorant (meaning ignoring what is in front of you) you are. We are here celebrating an awesome release from the band, a celebration of their story, which is also a queer story. Accept that and fuck off.

Personally the chorus sounds really forced to me & the overall sound/production of the song just sounds like something of FOAM. Which to me was an album full of songs designed to be used by EA sports in loading menus for extreme sports themed video games.

I’m just going to stop you right there. We don’t need this kinda speculation about Billie’s life nor do we need the biphobia on this site

if you continue you will be suspended

Yeah, completely agree, the album is full of these magic touches which elevates the songs so much. 

[DeJennsitized]

Anyway, I’m so proud of the guys for not only making a killer record, but for giving it the promo it deserves - the honest interviews, the thoughtful music videos, the listening parties, all the vinyl variants, the exclusives, even the social media stepped it up so kudos to whoever’s running that! It really says that they believe in this album.
