![]() ![]() Green Day is on tour starting March 08 in Singapore at Singapore Indoor Stadium until November 22 in Auckland, NZ at MT Smart Stadium. It can be streamed on all platforms or purchased in all digital music stores. The album is available in multiple bundles and formats directly from Warner Records. What will be memorable is how many bad reviews the record should receive. The album was certified platinum on the day it was released and became the first album to be streamed over one billion times in its release week.In a lot of ways, the whole release feels like an obligation to a recording contract rather than a collection of songs that hold any meaning. The whole album just feels like it was either done by committee or with a formula, both of which lead to a boring set of songs that might work well on a massive stadium tour with Weezer, but aren’t good enough to crap on in an album review. But on their new album Father of All, the East Bay band sounds closer to an early 2000’s iPod ad than a band that’s had the amount of success they’ve earned. The songs fall somewhere between doo wop rock from the fifties and pop where the producers felt like hand claps and reworked vocals were what people would want. The years of Green Day being a spunky pop punk band are long gone, but even after the band went for a more mainstream sound, we were treated to gems like American Idiot and Warning.

The songs that have a trickle of emotion come on “Father of All…” and on “Take the Money and Crawl.” And even then, those songs could come on while you’re buying bananas at Target and you’d forget them as soon as you heard them. #CLOSING TIME GREEN DAY DISCOGRAPHY HOW TO#It’s as if Green Day has been in big homes and nice cars too long to remember how to put just a touch of feeling in their music. Sure, it doesn’t sound anything like old Green Day, but it also doesn’t sound like what old punks think “the kids” will like. So much so that it’s not enough to say it’s bad. And, the record isn’t garbage but it’s also not memorable in any way. It’s a known fact that Green Day is a cash cow band for the major label industry. To be fair, the stage was set for this to occur. ![]()
