RevRad's Song Titles First Impressions, Which songs are you looking forward to? [POLL]

[DeJennsitized]

I chose RevRad, Outlaws and Youngblood. They sound exciting.  

It's going to be interesting to see what the songs are like when we hear them and what the favourites are, compared to what people thought based on song titles.

[Little Boy Named Submarine]

Wow, cant believe Ordinary World got 17 votes 

 

So far Revolution Radio got me excited the most, hope it drops soon as 2nd single

Revolution Radio, Still Breathing and Ordinary World

[Steven Seagull]

Their title tracks sunce Warning were lame so I'm not excited about that one.

Ordinary World of course and Forever Know. That sounds like a slow song.

[solongfromthestars]

I went with Revolution Radio, Bouncing off the Wall and Still Breathing. RevRad sounds Clash-esque and I'm really intrigued to know what the title track's like. I imagine that Bouncing off the Wall is a fast and fun song with similar energy to Let Yourself Go, probably totally wrong haha but it sounds interesting anyway. I guess Still Breathing might be a more sensitive song (or not) but that just sounds interesting for some reason too.

I can't see Youngblood without thinking of Sydney Youngblood and how my grandpa misheard his name as Disney, which makes me take the title a lot less seriously than I should

Revolution Radio; Still Breathing; Too Dumb to Die and Bouncing off the Wall. Then again Troubled Times and Say Goodbye also sound intriguing! Basically I'm just excited for the whole album! New Green Day

[Siddharth_471]

We haven't got the album till now but from reading the RS article, I got a rough idea that "Say Goodbye" can be another politically charged track as Billie said Bang Bang and Say Goodbye were the songs turning from "metaphor to literal" i.e. present reality. As said before "Somewhere Now" and "Forever Now" really sound as beginning and ending of the record. "Still Breathing" can be the song many of us are waiting for, the experiences from the recent past around recording of the album. "Outlaws" and Forever Now can be experimental/Nimrod-like. "Too Dumb To Die" is gonna be personal. "Youngblood" and "RevRad" sounds cool.

I don't know if this is a popular opinion or not, but I love Revolution Radio as the album title. Absolutely love it. It's simple yet gets the point across on what kind of album it's going to be. Also makes me think of "Do You Remember Rock n Roll Radio?" which brings back good memories of them playing it before coming out for the 21CB tour.

Somewhere Now and Forever Now.... looks like this two will have some kind of connection

[DeJennsitized]

To be honest it doesn't really sound to me like the two 'Now' songs are connected, except by name. Maybe if the two were called 'Somewhere Now' and 'There Now'; or 'Never Now' and 'Forever Now'. But could be wrong of course

[Harry Potter.]

Anyone else interested in the "Somewhere Now" / "Forever Now" repetition? Do you think it's a deliberate conceptual thing?

I really like all the titles and i'm excited about all the songs  I'm voting RevRad because it's the title track and maybe the next single, but i'm really intrigued by Somewhere Now, Say Goodbye and Still Breathing!!

I'm curious about Somewhere Now and Forever Now with their similar titles.   Do they connect with each other somehow?   Are they one song in two parts?   

Song titles can't give too much away.   The titles might not even be lyrics.  If you look through Green Day's work, a whole lot of song titles are not from the lyrics.   It's about half and half on each album until you get to Nimrod and onward where most of the titles are lyrics.   Uno is the ONLY album where every title is in the lyrics.    

     

That's actually a really fun fact! Might be fun to pile up a list of how all the albums compare on that front

Edit: Doublechecked. It's not quite true. Rusty James is not in the lyrics, it's "rusty chains". So close that it actually bugs me now though.

If not, it's definitely a poor choice of title for one of them. That increases the likelihood for me, so I feel moderately rational for jumping on that hype train 

There is also this rumor going around that "Forever Now" will be quite a long song. I don't know about that one, but if any song, it would probably be the second to last, as that would be the best spot for a long song (Homecoming, American Eulogy e.g), followed by the slow closing track (Whatsername, See The Light). I'm definitely jumping the gun on this. But it would mean that if you don't like it, 6 minutes through you could go "well, this is taking forever now"

Bouncing Off the Wall - because I can pretend that it's about me and Pepsi Max.

Just kidding - totally can't judge anything by titles. I never expected the names such as Baby Eyes and Wow! That's Loud  to hide my favourite songs on an album, same for Stuart and the Ave. back in the days, so...can't make guesses.
