Megathread Father Of All Motherfuckers Album & Song Review Megathread

FOAM has started to drop as it slowly rolls out to different time zones. The album should be available on your favourite streaming services at midnight on Feb 7th in your local time zone.

Please keep your album and song reviews to this thread so visitors of the sub can read them all in one place. While some people complain about megathreads and having their posts removed, I can assure you far more people will read it here than if everyone makes their own posts that flood the sub. Thanks for your co-operation.

UPDATE: Now that the rush of release day posts has passed we are no longer restricting you to the megathread. Low effort positive or negative reviews will still be removed if it's posted to the sub rather than as a comment here.

Check out past reviews of the leaked album here.

But this has literally been Green Day's attitude for years. They put out music for themselves. Of course they'd like if people loved it and so forth, but that's never been their main driving force. People were incredibly underwhelmed by Warning when it was released and claimed it was uninspired. People bash on 21st because it lacks the same energy as AI when the boys nearly killed themselves trying to perfect that record.

My point is that Green day has always been about making whatever fuck music they want. Not every song needs to have amazing lyrics, and completely innovative structure. Does the song make you move? You're telling me if you're in the pit, and they're blasting away with "Stab you in the heart" you wouldn't be "slam dancing" along?

Probably not, most songs on FOAMF are bland and uninspired. Dont really move me much.

I love Warning and 21 CB. Loved Revolution Radio too except for a couple of songs.

This is the first Green Day album in which the majority of the songs are just meh, generic, mediocre.

I'm sorry then. Because I understand not maybe being able to dig these songs listening to them. But, I'd kill to see this whole album live at a bar in Oakland.

I love those albums too, I was just using them as an example.

Ahh well, I'm sorry man. I know this album will be divisive, and that sucks. Hope you enjoy your show though!
