No one will ever convince me that "cringe" is a good description of anything musical, this isn't reddit
Your post also made me cringe. It’s a description of a physical act when you have secondhand embarrassment for someone; it’s not hard to understand.
I don’t understand why using the word cringe to describe something isn’t acceptable. I cringe at the notion, actually.
how do you tour with Against Me and then for the press release for your next album you say "I'm gonna teabag you with my balls"
Not a huge fan of the vocal effect on Armstrong's voice, hope they don't have a vocal filter on his mic when they debut it on Thursday.
Better than “overproduced” which has been used a lot for this song. I think people are taking that post too seriously. And for anyone to call this the worst GD song, when Night Life is in the world- you are flat out wrong.
More inventive and original than anything Greta Van Fleet has recorded, and they’ve been coined as the one band who “saved” rock music.
there's chatter on the Green Day Reddit/twittersphere that the new album title/artwork/description stuff is some kind of FUCK YOU to the label, hence the album barely being 26 minutes long, and that Billie Joe said something about having another album out next year, maybe, as an independent band or something? the macho stuff does seem weird unless they're doing a bit or doing a 'theme,' which we all know they're prone to doing every now and then. weird.
Green Day has never been macho or pro-hypermasculinity. Tongue is clearly in cheek even if it's stupid.
I saw somewhere in an interview that this is indeed their last album on the label and they hope to have another one out shortly after
So on the “rock is dead” thing, are guitar (and I guess all instrument sales) still suffering hard? I still listen to a lot of great guitar driven bands, so I’m not buying the Rock is dead angle. It’s just lost it’s place in the mainstream of new music. It sort of seems strange to then tour with FOB and Weezer. Hope this record is good if I end up checking it out. Also, 1994 was pretty cool when Green Day and The Offspring broke out.
