Music Mania! (Green Day)

10/13/2016

0 Comments

 
I took a bit of time away from the blog this week so that I could recoup and get my thoughts back in order.  To me, it is important that you are always passionate about what you are doing.  Sometimes maintaining that passion requires some time to reflect.  Rest assured though, I am back and ready to write some more again.  Last week, I hinted towards my hype for Green Day's new album and it would only be right if I talked about it today.
Picture
Revolution Radio by Green Day - When I was younger, I used to board a yellow bus to a summer day camp every weekday morning with my walkman CD player.  Every day, I had the same three CDs which were The Eminem Show by Eminem, Youth by Matisyahu, and American Idiot by Green Day.  Since that time, I fell away from Green Day as their music became less attractive with too much angst and not enough of Jesus of Suburbia-esque tunes.  Finally, Green Day has once again made me proud of my childhood listening habits.  Revolution Radio brings us the punk-rock attitude that we are so accustomed to with Green Day through loud hits such as "Revolution Radio" and "Bang Bang".  However, the loud hits are accompanied by deep reflections in the hit songs, "Still Breathing" and "Ordinary World".  When I hear the bridge to "Still Breathing", my eyes start to tear up a bit as I think about the inner struggles that Billie Joe Armstrong recently discussed with multiple news sources.  If you listen to this whole album and just reflect, you get a picture of a band that has returned to its form after some harsh years of critic hate and internal conflict.  I am once again proud to proclaim that I am a Green Day fan!
Notable Tracks: "Bang Bang", "Still Breathing", "Youngblood", "Ordinary World"
