Over 20 years career on stage Punk Rock, Green Day has spawned 12 albums - with Dookie as their first album under major record label Reprise Records. If previous trio Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool collaborated with producer Rob Cavallo, this time Green Day is trying to produce their latest album, Revolution Radio. Hard work is unfortunately a little heard on their album, given the year 2015 and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong wrote twitter status, "my mission in 2016? Destroying the term 'pop-punk' forever. "
Four years since the release of the trilogy ¡Uno! ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! a burning boombox cover photo shows Green Day's big intention to shake the radio with their single. Opened with the track "Somewhere Now", the album is like giving a little new Green Day flavor innovation, where they incorporate an acoustic touch before returning to the usual Punk-Rock riff they play. The acoustic element also appears in the closing track "Ordinary World".
New on the track single "Bang Bang" Green Day brings out their classic style, with shouting backing vocals from the energetic Mike Dirnt. Songs that were inspired by the mass tragedy of mass shootings in the United States that often took place during that period.
While passing the track "Youngblood", Green Day raised the 'teen angst' background with a touch of raw voice, satirizing colors of social media life mostly filled with narcissistic characters. The sarcasm is also illustrated through the lyric pieces' The dawn of the new airwaves. For the anti-social media 'on the track "Revolution Radio".
Overall, there is no deep impression on the Revolution Radio album. As if stuck with their image, the stagnant anti-hero charms that they have built since the era of American Idiot began to gnaw at every track of Revolution Radio. But as time goes by, hear Green Day's latest work, as if we were only invited to pervade the hottest social issue issue that goes around without enjoying its own music. Perhaps in musicality, many agree that saturated feelings begin to grow as they listen to Green Day's latest material. But in depth the theme of the song, lift the hat to Billie joe Cs.
