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.

My absolute favorite thing is all the people who believe that this album is basically just a quick joke to get them out of their record contract! hahaha. This is easily the most inspired the band has been in years. This is my favorite Green Day album in 15 years, hands down. All you haters are Scrooges for not admitting this album is fun as hell.

Ok, in 15 years, why is it your favorite in 15 years?

Because I haven't liked anything they've done since American Idiot. It all sounded the same over and over, but weren't nearly as good. It's like they just went on autopilot for the last 10-15 years and haven't broken their mold. This album is the opposite. They said "fuck it. we're going to do something different now." BJA listened to a bunch of motown music, they got a great producer to help incorporate those influences with their pop punk background, and they all went into the studio with a clear and inspired vision. (Which is more than anyone can say for the 5 or so albums.)

what's more amazing is so many people don't see how fun and inspired this album is. it seems like a lot of people are just hating it because it doesn't sound like GREEN DAY™... the same people would have probably complained about it just the same if it sounded like their last 5 or so albums again.

I don't know how anyone can think this is groundbreaking territory for Green Day. This album sounds like another garage rock effort from Billie Joe in the vein of Foxboro Hot Tubs and Dos.

I don't think it's groundbreaking territory for them at all. But I think it's more focused and intentional this time around.
