Uh oh! Seems like using “Father to a Son” on RUclips results in the video being blocked worldwide. I guess the other fourteen tracks on here are fine to use? Whatever. Sorry that the reaction to the track has to be muted, but it’s the only way this video can stay up. As far as further thoughts on the album go, I haven’t had too much time to listen to the album in full since recording/editing this video, but here are some notes… - This album is really good, but doesn’t crack my top five for Green Day. People placing it in their top three is crazy to me. Dookie, American Idiot, Nimrod, 21st, and even Revolution Radio are better in my opinion. That being said, Saviors is damn good. - My overall opinions on the songs haven’t changed. I like them all and they are all growing on me…however, it seems I have an unpopular opinion. 1981 isn’t that great. I’m sorry. Mid at best. - Overall, I love the themes and lyrics present in the album. As a Gen Z going into the adulting world, I feel like Billie Joe really captured the turmoil and uncertainty going into the future. If punk rock was still really well known, I could see this album being a legitimate anthem for people my age. Nice job Green Day. You guys have done it again. Room tour video coming next month!
Big Green Day fan, loved the vid 🔥 this album came out the day after my Birthday and I was really hopping it was good, because of what happened with FOAM, and I love it, kinda gives 21 century vibes, and melodic vibes they used to have, loved the return to some non political fast pace punk songs like they used to make, so this album would make any era Green Day fan happy!!! 🎉❤
to answer your question at 16:51 i've got a list of some albums that came out in 1981: Escape: Journey October: U2 Sorry Ma, forgot to take out the trash: The Replacements (I bet this influenced the song title "Look Ma! No Brains!") Paradise Theater: Styx Hard Promises: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (edit: I just saw another comment listing more lol)
1981 saw the releases of: Iron Maiden - Killers Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of Madman Motley Crue - Too Fast for Love Def Leppard - High n Dry Motorhead - No Sleep Til Hammersmith ACDC - For Those About To Rock Saxon - Denim and Leather Van Halen - Fair Warning Crass - Penis Envy Black Flag - Damaged Stiff Little Fingers - Go For It Dead Kennedys - In God We Trust inc The Exploited - Punks Not Dead 1981 also saw the launch of MTV
@@IanMeyersBHP father of all would have been a great side project album I feel. Not sure if you've heard any of billies side projects but they are good as well!
@@zachontherun1043 I have listened to the song Money Money 2020 but beyond that I don't think I've listened to anything else. I should check it out though
@@IanMeyersBHP they recently did money money part 2 which I think is fantastic! If your looking for more of a rock sound. Foxboro Hottubs and the Longshot are good. If you looking for more punk I'd go with pinhead gunpowder!
I'm an old school GD fan, I grew up on Kerplunk. I'd rank this album 6th. I like it more than everything they've done since American Idiot. 1981 is my favorite song by far. I actually like the middle of the album the most. Dilemma through Living in the 20's. The only song I can't stand is One Eyed Bastard and my one knock overall is that many of the songs repeat phrases too much. I'm not a fan of overly repetitive lyrics.
Happy to see an old school fan hanging out in the comments! Although I am much younger, 1039 might be my favorite record from them; love Kerplunk too. Glad that you enjoyed the album but ultimately I prefer 21CB and RevRad. But this album had some real highlights (1981 is my least favorite though, sorry lol)

Check out the bonus track Fever if you get a chance, it was released with the Japanese tracks, it’s another unreleased FOAM song

@@IanMeyersBHPfair warning by VH is my personal favorite of those listed!
Loved this album!!! Bro your the only one besides me who noticed the Kate perry Roar melody lmaooooo
This album is definitely staying in my rotation...also yes thank you that was the song I was thinking of lol
First time viewer. Loved this reaction. Great job dude! So glad we are out of the father of all era 😂😂
Oh man me too. I enjoy Father of All but I know they are capable of so much better!

@@zachontherun1043 Foxboro Hottubs intrigues me because I love Dos and people say it sounds like the Hottubs
father of all have good songs : Junkies on a high, graffitia, sugar youth
@@gallown I really like the title track as well
@@IanMeyersBHP Yes its a good song too
One more banger would have really put it over the top
I thought all the tracks were really solid but the more I think about it, the more I can imagine the title track as a multi part epic

Hi...
haha you had to censor yourself...
When did I do that
@@IanMeyersBHP the muted portion
@@brooksmeyers1237 ah yes I guess that specific song must have different copyright whathaveyous compared to the rest of the album
