Revolution Radio (studio album) by Green Day

Big Green Day fan but honestly never listened to this one. I thought it was among their best. Rating (82.08)

A much-needed improvement on the sub-par at best trilogy,Revolution Radio delivers with some true gems among Green Day's discography, such as "Bang Bang" and "Forever Now." Although some songs are merely decent, and one is actively bad (I'm looking at you, "Youngblood"), the album as a whole is elevated by its often-introspective lyrics and the instrumentals.

in the words of LL Cool J "Don't call it a comeback" because it's not it's just alright and definitely not a return to the glory days of the mid 90s to the early 200s

Revolution Radio is a strong return to form after a very weak trilogy. As a huge Green Day fan, I was super happy with Rev Rad and how it turned out. I wasn't expecting another American Idiot, but I had very high hopes for this album, and it satisfied me. Bang Bang is a killer song with a sick drum solo that always gives me goosebumps. Thanks Tre Cool. It is another politically relevant album, with Troubled Times speaking the truth that everyone acknowledges. We all know that 2016 was a tough year politically for a lot of people and things are looking very dark right now. Green Day does what they love to do by sharing their opinion openly. Agree or disagree, they should be admired for stepping out and making an effort to make a change in our troubled world. Musically, Rev Rad also has some great moments, especially with classic-rock (Boston) influenced Somewhere Now and Forever Now, but Ordinary World is the most pleasant surprise to me. I really enjoy that track.

This comment is beneath your viewing threshold.

Feeling meh about this album. This felt quite repetitive for me to listen and sometimes I feel like I've heard something like this before. All I just feel is just meh. I'm sure if you're a major fan you would like it, but someone else I don't know...

Not bad, I really liked Tré, but this is fan too, maybe it has even more variety. Fav tracks: Still Breathing, Forever Now and Ordinary World.

This album is alright, but I'd hardly call it a comeback. The songs are good, but there isn't anything that really stands out for me. Also, being released during an election year, I was sort of hoping that Billie Joe would have something to say about Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

Green Day have recorded one of its best LP. Revolution Radio quickly is the best review (3.5/4) since 2004's American Idiot. Lyrically is pure gold how Armstrong describes de 21st Century ("We will be seen but not be heard" "It's more like a World War Zero" "Sound of the disturbed)and musically they returned what they have done best. Is definetly one of the best albums of the year and of the 2010`s.

Although the song writing is (for the most part) more bearable than the trilogy of abysmal albums that they released in 2012, there are still many many hang-ups here. The instrumentation may sound more "raw" than it has from Green Day in the last decade, but the vocals still sound over produced which makes this album still feel a little robotic and lifeless. Lyrically, it can be flat out cringy at times (look to the song "Youngblood" for a solid 2 and a half minute example). In the end, it just feels like Green Day has nothing left to write about.
