Yeah but it was obvious they didn't believe in the trilogy. Those albums were like "let's push as much music as we can out to give them something to hold on to for the next 4 years". 

Hoping the new excitement for this record has an influence on the setlist. Some of these songs are screaming to be played live.

 

And most are screaming to be drowned in the bathtub  Actually Billie said he liked a lot of the trilogy or felt that the songs were great but there was a lot for people to consume at one time or something like that in one interview if I'm not mistaken.  Also when they made the albums they had no intention of taking a four year break so why would they plan on making a whole load of music to give people something to hold on to?

Finally someone who doesn't rate Dookie that highly. Nice to see some love for Insomniac around here too.

I still really like it a lot and was super lucky to get to hear them play the whole thing at Reading Festival, but it just doesn't press my buttons in the way that the top 3 or 4 do. Fucking love insomniac though.

Insomniac has some absolutely genius lyrics. Attitude in music form.

I would get or at least accept all the lyrics if he was just singing about being high/stoned or high while writing the lyrics like the trilogy...hell then I could probably just find the lyrics amusing like some of the silly trilogy lyrics  

I'll still be amused by the cello line because it's hilarious even if it's not meant to be

Yeah, he did. He also said in this one that if he could go back he'd still do it. He hasn't expressed that much bitterness towards it haha. (Soz for trilogy discussion here, will stop now)

After 5 listen to Revolution radio my rating is :

1 American  Idiot

2 Revolution  Radio 

3 21 st Century Breakdown 

4 Dookie 

5 Insomniac 

6 Warning 

7 Trilogy 

8 Nimrod 

9 Kerplunk 

10 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours 

[Maddie86]

shit. I never downloaded revrad cuz i found a site that streamed it and it looked like they took the stream down oh well, here's my list. 1 through 6 was easy but after that it was hard

1 Insomniac
2 Nimrod
3 Kerplunk
4 Dookie
5 1039 SOSH
6 American Idiot
7 Revolution Radio
8 Warning
9 Uno
10 Dos
11 21st Century Breakdown
12 Tre

I know I'm being a little hard on 21st CBD, it's a solid album but there's stuff I don't like about it, and honestly I wouldn't be bummed if they stopped playing songs from it live. I think revrad and warning could be a tie, and Uno is really close behind. Scratch that, there's a few songs I love on uno, 7, 8, and 9 is a 3 way tie!

[Arthur_Rhuan]

I think my actual rate is something like that:

1 - 21st Century Breakdown & American Idiot (I just can't choose one )

2 - Revolution Radio

3 - Warning

4 - Insomniac (Constantly move up to 3rd position)

5 - Kerplunk

6 - ¡Dos!

7 - ¡Tré!

8 - Nimrod

9 - 1,039/Smoothed

10 - Dookie

11 - ¡Uno!

How anyone could rate the trilogy above Dookie is beyond me.  And I really like the trilogy.

[JellyTime]

Warner Music Poland is organizing pre-premiere listening of Revolution Radio for bunch of fans... And I'm invited I know that whole album leaked, but still I think it will be fun

[Mato]

Could someone please clarifiy to me what is the official album cover in the end?

 

 

 

 

 

[Joe K]

So this comes out tomorrow right?

Interesting note:    The album cover comes from a line in Bouncing off the Wall   "Radio, covered in gasoline".   I'm guessing that why they had to leave such a mediocre track on the album, lol.   But to answer your question I believe the standard CD won't have the text on the front.   The deluxe book version will have that bottom one and that middle picture is just showing what the album will look like with the sticker on it.

In Youngblood lyrics at GDA Music page: 

 

I’m a rough boy
‘Round the edges
Getting drunk and falling into hedges
She’s my weakness
Fucking genius
Swear to god that I’m not even superstitious

 

 

I think Billie says "Swear to god AND I’m not even superstitious", like he's atheist and god's a superstition

 

 

 

 

About albums ranking:

1º Insomniac (11/10)

2º Dookie/American Idiot (10/10)

3º Nimrod (between 9 and 10)

4º RevRad/21stCB/Warning/Kerplunk/1039 (between 8 and 9)

5º Trilogy (between 7 and 8)

Oh shit we are already up to listing favourite albums

 

Tre's drumming in Forever Now is phenomenal - on the whole album actually. 

[MillenniumFan]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but am I the only one hearing some things or parts in ''Somewhere Now'' (faintly) reminiscent of ''The Who'' or more precisely their album ''Tommy''? Anyway, I'm really digging that song, I really like it!

[Clayish]

Even though I love the song, the 'Creep' influence in 'Outlaws' is almost over powering.

[gd86arg]

I just wondering for what song Mike had bass class

Somewhere Now influenced by The Who

Bouncing Off the Wall influenced by Joan Jett 

Too Dumb to Die influenced by The Replacements and The Ramones

It's weird you find the most thought out and interesting songs to be the most boring. Do you have a short attention span by any chance?

I usually like my green day poetic and epic and huge. BUT these songs don't feel inspired or interesting to me at all. Maybe it's the mixing with the really loud guitars that doesn't fit that type of songs but it's like billie singing tunes over noise. Songs like 21stCB, Jos, Homecoming, American Eulogy, shit even drb are long songs that go somewhere. Have a climax or change. These two songs just feel like the same noise for 6 minutes (ok one song is 3 minutes) and the same acoustic riff that's definitely not something new or inspired (somebody even posted the complete rip-off of that I remember)

Somewhere and Forever Now?   You have to listen to them about 5+ times before you get a feel for them.

Idk man I like epic green day ( i think this is the direction they should keep after 21st) but I just don't feel those two tracks at all. Especially Forever Now.

We must be listening to a different album

Or have different opinions  

[DeJennsitized]

I'm not sure I can rank the albums! I'm so indecisive, and I don't feel I know RevRad well enough. But hell, everyone else is doing it and I'm a sheep.

1. 21CB

2. Nimrod

3. American Idiot

4. RevRad

5. Dookie

6. Warning

7. Insomniac

8. Tre

9. Dos

10. Uno

11. Kerplunk

12. 1039

Keeping in mind all Green Day albums are held above any other music I listen to.
