Malleus Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 That EP cover is hella fucking stupid. Putting Christian & Gloria and the hand grenade on it was completely unnecessary and just makes an already relatively ugly design uglier.
Clockwise Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 The whole EP is a dumb idea. Did they not just put out a live album with most, if not all of these songs on it?
solongfromthestars Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 ...that is the cover? Do you see the area around the Christian & Gloria light? Looks like the guy who made it had no idea how to use the erase function for layers in Photoshop properly. That badly erased bit was the first thing I noticed. That'd annoy me enough if I left it on my own graphics, it's all I can see on that cover now
BraedonHorbacio Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Right now everyone's sort of saying "What? Why this?" to everything but it seems like once everything's out, people will really start to get it and have one of those "AHA" moments
jon18 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Some people are never happy. Green Day recorded 37 songs!!! They will release 3 albums. Who care about the single cover or their clothes? Some debats or reactions are really ridiculous. Green Day is about music period.
Clayish Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 It's just an EP. nobody buys these things unless their's B-Sides.
pasalaska Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Short review from Australian site Faster-Louder. The comments are unsurprisingly snobby. http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/news/international/33206/First-Listen-Green-Day
solongfromthestars Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 If anyone in the UK (or other countries) couldn't see the new video interview with Billie Joe, that shows footage of the new Oh Love video, you can check it out here: http://www.greendayi...com-billie-joe/ The same link contains lots of images from the Oh Love video Enjoy! Thank you so much for uploading this to Youtube! Some people are never happy. Green Day recorded 37 songs!!! They will release 3 albums. Who care about the single cover or their clothes? Some debats or reactions are really ridiculous. Green Day is about music period. I don't think any of us are saying that we're unhappy or that we really care. We were all just commenting that from a graphics/art point of view, that cover just happens to be badly done.
Ritz Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I miss so much when I'm travelling. Darn ! -.- Yeah they are releasing 37 songs, 3 albums but they should maintain a standard of Artwork and stuff. I mean look at AI, then 21st CB. Both were great, then why UDT artwork should be sloppy and be like its done by some unprofessional person. The EP cover is yuck. But I like the album covers.
Alan86 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I think the EP cover is actually quite appropriate. It's similar to the oh love artwork which it should be. It also takes logos from the previous 2 albums cause there are songs on the EP from those albums. I'm interested to know if these are previously unreleased live tracks or something we already have.
DannyDirnt Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 And what does "Tonight my heart's on the loose"? I can't find the meanng of "loose" as a noun...
GuitarPunk94 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 And what does "Tonight my heart's on the loose"? I can't find the meanng of "loose" as a noun... irse libremente...sth like this to be on the loose is sth like you can move anywhere you want to (probably with no real direction) *correct me if im wrong, google told me so
Sarcasm Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 And what does "Tonight my heart's on the loose"? I can't find the meanng of "loose" as a noun... I think it means that he'll look for look* anywhere, or that he is horny and just want's company. I'm not kidding.
~ Walking Contradiction Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Don't know if someone already posted these...
solongfromthestars Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I'd just like to point out that Billie hits the falsetto note that everyone thinks is autotuned, in the live Austin version where he was totally drunk. So I guess really is the Broadway voice training and not actually autotune. And what does "Tonight my heart's on the loose"? I can't find the meanng of "loose" as a noun... I think "tonight my heart is on the loose" just means "tonight my heart is free" - that's what the phrase "on the loose" means (in British English anyway). Or for example if you said "the lion is on the loose", that might mean that the lion has escaped its cage and is running around in the street. Billie could mean that as a metaphor for anything though.
Sixtrix Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I agree with the falsetto. But autotune has been abused so much lately, I do understand why people easily think actual good singers that are still around these days are autotuned. While in fact it's because of the non-talents these days that autotune got abused for all the wrong reasons. If autotune was never invented it would have been more clear that Billie's talent does not depend on silly modern technology.
DannyDirnt Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I just see that falsetto really unfitting there. I liked it but the edit was pretty noticeable there.
kellista Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I just see that falsetto really unfitting there. I liked it but the edit was pretty noticeable there. . I loved that falsetto, it added something a little unpredictable to the song.
Sixtrix Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I just see that falsetto really unfitting there. I liked it but the edit was pretty noticeable there. They need to edit it in some way or else it would drown in the mix and it would be hard to hear it. I'm pretty convinced that all that can be heard on that part is just a little effect or double vocals to bring it up stronger and noticeable in the final mix. But yeah, for the ones who still believe it is auto tuned, let's leave the 'plausible' option open that Billie might have burped the falsetto part and they fixed it with auto tune
Hermione Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I like the look of those gifs! Can't say I'm very tempted by that EP, lol.
basKT_case90 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Can anyone figure out what Billie is singing in that close up shot of him?
Heather. Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I actually really like the EP cover art too It's cool to see the two logos in the light, and makes perfect sense because those songs are included on the CD.
