I just can't stand the whole call and response thing "we call lies THE TRUTH". It's easily the worst part of the song Call and responses can be pretty cool if done right. And they didn't do it particularly well here.

In Bang Bang it was effective and made the song what it was...not so much here. It's not bothering me TOO much but I hope it's not a running theme on the album.
Teenage Lush Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 oh man that chorus i know there's a filter but i really like how the vocals sound on this.
YoungBlood Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 This has to opening song at the shows its great
WestboundSign! Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 I'm digging it! Gotta say I kind of prefer Bang Bang, but Revolution Radio is definitely a great song. It's very melodic and catchy. I also agree that you can hear nearly all sorts of Green Day eras / albums somewhere in the song.

This track doesn't really give the response much room to breathe. It's too immediately after the call. It feels weird and rushed
Sarcasm Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 oh look it's a youtube link. It's in the people and blogs category, savage satire remove this video from quotes if you're gonna quote it, dingbats

Alan86 Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Cool surprise to come home to. Found a download pretty easily. I like it, it's not overly ambitious or anything but a good album track. I like that this song follows bang bang on the album, so listening to it straight after bang bang gives you a small feel of the album.
sassafrasroots_ Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 I really like it! Can't wait to hear it live!
JellyTime Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Intro is just mind-blowing, verses have nice melody and chorus reminds me Trilogy. Overall it's an amazing song!

Ryan Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 2 hours ago, CrimsonArk said: So it's a perfect second single despite the fact that it's worse than the previous single? If Bang Bang ends up being one of the BEST songs on the album then that doesn't really inspire much confidence in the quality of the overall record. For all intents and purposes, Bang Bang was a fairly middle of the road Green Day track, nothing particularly "classic" about it. At this point I'm starting to really feel like Green Day is on the decline in terms of their creative output, if these two tracks are anything to go by. Fluctuating between mediocre and okay but never actually being consistently good to great. 2 hours ago, CrimsonArk said: Yes, you are overanalyzing. It's literally just Billie recycling shit. Again. Do you have any friends? 1 hour ago, DookieLukie said: Now we get this poppy song and Ordinary World, both of which sound like Billie didn't learn from the Trilogy. What was he supposed to learn? I mean, Green Day has been writing "pop" songs since Dookie came out in '94...so I don't really get your point there. If you look at what they have done with/for this album, I would argue that he DID learn something from the Trilogy because they did almost everything completely differently. 12 songs instead of 37. They self-produced in instead of having somebody else. It was kept pretty much completely on the DL whereas the Trilogy had updates like every other day it seemed. 1 hour ago, Matt. said: The only time you comment on something is to speak negatively about it. And then you get into pointless arguments with other members about it, cluttering up the thread. You do realize he's kind of an asshole, right?

Obviously, Billie wants his voice to sound sweetly and childishly using many effects. The best example is 'Lights Out'. The genuine voice we could hear on 'Foreverly' with Norah Jones, for instance 'Barbara Allen', Mechanical Man or the cast version of 21 Guns. it sounds soft and natural
gmcloughlin Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 Just listened to it for the first time. I like it, but not as much as I did after hearing Bang Bang for the first time. The drums in the intro reminded me of Murder City which is kinda cool I'm gonna give it a few more listens before I give it a mark out of 10. I'm surprised they've released another single so soon

Green Day has a lot of Beatles in their songs, but I can hear it a lot in this one.

punkangel Posted September 8, 2016 Posted September 8, 2016 I can already hear the crowd in concerts screaming "THE TRUTH!" Can't fucking wait for a live perfomance of RR and Bang Bang.
