Choosing now to announce AI/Dookie in full draws eyes to their streaming platforms with their brand spanking new album that’s out in two days being right at the top. Pretty smart move. Tons of Green Day press already this week with all the pushing they’ve been doing.
They’re crushing it on marketing this album. I don’t recall FOAM or Rev Road being this expertly and successfully done. Not sure if that is due to the band not trying to go this hard for those two records, the quality of the music informing the approach/reception from press, or what. I think I remember reading some “Green Day is back” profiles for Rev Road but the roll out seemed less covered in general.
Saw that there were some nosebleeds in Milwaukee for $49 including fees. Worth it to be able to see them for the first time and hear American Idiot in full.
There are bangers on this thing. And a couple Weezer tracks. Thoroughly enjoying this and happy it’s wayyyyy better than FOAM Strange Days and Living In the 20’s are awesome!
Love this album. On first and second listens today, this is easily my favorite album since American Idiot.
You guys are fucking crazy, that chorus is a winner. Sorry. It's not even my favorite on the record, it just screams radio to me.
Goodbye is my clear favorite, but I’d also love to hear Corvette or 20’s get spins. Both late cut gems.
