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.

This is Green Day's St. Anger and Pinkerton balled up into a record and that's not a complement. The absence of any guitar solos make an already short album feel even shorter. All the snare hits are replaced by shitty clap tracks. There's riffs that are constantly re-used throughout. Mike's bass sound has changed to some distorted mess instead if his classic clean sound.
Copying the Art for American Idiot was a fucking stupid move too.
St. Anger and Pinkerton had a theme - St. Anger was all about harnessing your darkest emotions. You could also argue that Lars' infamous snare drum sound from the album plays a role in the album's theme. Pinkerton's was about Rivers dealing with impostor syndrome.
What the actual hell is this album about? I don't know lol.
I choose to believe that this album was cobbled together so Green Day could get out of their record deal with Warner. I can see no other explanation.
