Siddharth_471 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Haven't listened to the whole album yet due to slow internet but just checked out Say Goodbye. Amazing song, Pantera like groovy riffs with 21stCB vocals and also reminds of East Jesus Nowhere and Holiday. I'm really liking this sound! Let there be some RevRad.

Hermione Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The three singles are getting no love from me at the moment because they're not new like the rest , they stick out weirdly because they're too familiar. But I know in time they'll blend in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi-automatic lonely boy Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 as much as i critisized the trilogy, the unobjective hate is unbearable. it seems some people are just unable to cope with the quantity of songs on there. the trilogy wasn't armageddon and revolution radio isn't heaven on earth. there are many fun power pop songs on the trilogy and some hidden gems, and alas some trash as well. but in my opinion, the only songs that can compete with the better trilogy tracks from revrad would be: - bang bang, - too dumb to die, - say goodbye - and partially forever now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainstews27 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Here's my gripe. Can people just listen like they are at home alone or with some friends or whatever ( hey to each his own) and jammed this on their record players? Why does everyone all the sudden become a music critic instead of just smoking a bowl and dancing around naked at the fun and seriousness of this album? It's music, it's not a documentary about Billie's life, it's a glimpse. It's meant for you to feel a connection to the vibe and show up at a show and live in the energy of everyone who gets it. If you don't then save your money ( or data) and skip this and find what invigorates your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the only thing I can think of is that you don't want them to grow as song writers. I personally believe that this album is the best thing they have done...but I can see why you don't like it if you are expecting 3 chord songs about drugs, alcohol, or masturbation. That or just some unrealistic expectations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the album includes several strong character sketches." Ouch, but it's exactly what we said. YES! we all know that Billie has so much lyrical potential than that... btw, I loved RevRad in almost every way. I've been observing the main thoughts that people are droping in this thread and my conclusion is: Revolution Radio grows gradually strong in every new try. Fav. Tracks: Somewhere Now, Say Goodbye, Outlaws, and Too Dumb To Die Least Fav.: Still Breathing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Cherry bombs and gasoline, debutants and surgery" is a perfect example of phrase that may initially seem like Armstrong trying to be too clever for his own good, but it's actually a genius way to explain America in two short, dichotomous phrases. I don't know many popular lyricists today who can accomplish that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I loved Force Awakens but thought it was sort of a nostalgia film, whereas RevRad brings new stuff to the table and is a new direction, so I'd say it's more like Ep 8.
