Green Day - Father of all Motherfuckers (February 7, 2020) Album • Page 53

I just explained why I don’t enjoy the album and feel it’s uninspired.

 

Not liking the lyrics or the hooks is a totally valid critique. I just think it's a stretch to say that makes it sound uninspired. You just don't like those aspects of the thing and that's okay.

 

When compared with the rest of Green Day’s catalogue, it doesn’t. We know what the band is capable of.

 

Disingenuous is different than uninspired

 

I know it is, hence why I said the whole throwback rockstar shtick was disingenuous and the songwriting was uninspired.

 

Haha sorry, I meant it like I'm trying to defend you! I'm on your side

 

Hey, no need to apologise. I see that now. All good.

 

People are allowed to like shitty music. I just wish they would stop defending it as good music when it is clearly garbage. Just enjoy your shit.

 

And also people don't have to agree with your opinion that it's shitty. We can think it is a good album. It is truly all subjective, regardless of what the popular opinion is.

 

Never forget.

 

Yeah, that was definitely ill-advised. I think it's hilarious though.

 

I want "Just Enjoy Your Shit" added to that billboard

 

Just enjoy your shit.

 

it's the subtle racism for me

 

Album was doodoo. Didn’t even crack my top 50 last year and i genuinely love Green Day

 

I like most of this album now but it kinda sucks. It absolutely feels half baked and if Green Day didn't mean as much to me as they do I probably would feel less like justifying my enjoyment of this album. They can and hopefully will do better, but do I throw this on from time to time? Absolutely

 

This is vintage internet forum posting

 

Just telling you to go fuck yourself because music is objectively subjective. You can absolutely hate this album if you want to, you can criticize every decision they made from the songwriting choices to the production and the advertising. There are no invalid criticisms and your opinions are perfectly valid. I am sick and fucking tired of men on this goddamn website telling other people that the music that they like is shitty as if this is something that can be objectively measured. Seriously, fuck off with your bullshit. To the rest of the people that merely hate the music and all of that, fair play, nothing wrong with that. All I am saying is that people need to stop pretending their options are objective. I like this album because I think it is good. I am not wrong. People that hate it are not wrong, either. Either side pretending they are objectively correct about the quality of the music are, however, wrong.

Sick of the shitty attitudes from others trying to shame people for liking something. I dislike 80% of the music posted to this website but you do not see me telling other people how shitty it is

 

Please, just enjoy your shit.

 

I'm revisiting the album for the first time since last year and finding it just... there. This time I'm liking the garage rock influenced side more even though it's nothing special that The Hives, Royal Republic, Danko Jones and many others in that lane haven't also put out before. I don't really have any particular thoughts about the rest of the record. There's more of that traditional Green Day template, which just doesn't excite me in any way anymore as it sounds like they're self-recycling melodies and chord progressions. My main complaint is Billie's voice, he somehow... doesn't sound like himself on a few songs? I can't really explain in more details but his vocals really bug me at times.

 

Here ya go.

 

I love those alternate-arrangement/acoustic versions! Especially Good Riddance and RevRad.

 

I don't know how Green Day will ever make any sort of "big comeback". I think they caught lightning in a bottle by doing it with American Idiot. I just don't see them doing anything that would be considered more marketable then RevRad, which did numbers but was still pretty unremarkable.

 

The acoustic full-band rendition of "Good Riddance" was excellent. Hope we see an official release.

 

Is it a different rendition or something? Isn’t the original version of Good Riddance already acoustic?
