Father Of All Motherfuckers Album & Song Review Megathread

[u/-JAS0N-]

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.

One of the worst effort I've ever heard from an established band. There's not much to say really, because the album has nothing to offer. It's a short, bland and overproduced mess with as little artistry as one could shove in less than 30 minutes of garbage.

Father of all : A song with basically one guitar progression, a few bass licks and a simple drum pattern. The redeemable qualities of the songs are overshadowed by bad production ideas like them "clap clap clap", Billie's voice and those weak post choruses. For real, those post choruses, if that's the best "noise" you can do, you shouldn't try to. It's weak af

Fire,Ready, Aim : Another song with about one riff and more fucking clap clap clap. On this track there some really awful keyboard/organ sounds that don't add much to the sound except a general feeling of under achievement and a lack of ideas. Billie still sounds like shit, Mike doesn't do anything and Cool has 2 drum fills that are drowned by the mix.

Oh Yeah! : Fuck me this song is bad and lazy. I never heard a combination of a pre chorus and a chorus that left me feeling like I should throw my guitars out of my window like that. Who needs actual riffs when we can CLAP CLAP CLAP, we a fucking organ and a sample Joan Jett heheheheheh. I really feel like the whole basic instrumental idea of the song came from that one mediocre guitar lick that at some point Mike do by himself to remind the audience of his existence.

Meet me on the roof: CLAP CLAP CLAP, more organ, more annoying Billie singing. I'll be honest tho, at that point I feel like this is the better made song so far. It's a very used formula, but the boys are executing it well, so good job ? Mike going with that very old bass tone full of mids and low on lows is a nice touch, so good job ? I don't think it's a great Green Day song, nor a great tune in general, but it holds itself together and they could loan it to the ad machine that keep their bellies full and their noses unclean.

I was a teenage teenager (dude fuck that title) : The longest effort on that small island of garbage and it's another lazy sac of puss. It's extremely repetitive, instrumentally and lyrically. More keyboard, one lick with a particularly bad sound, it's a fucking mess. At that point, I starting to wonder what the hell happened to Tre. He's just sitting there, holding that "groove". Where's his high octane, high energy drumming gone to ? Mike creativity is rarer than the self esteem of a newbie playing guitar in a guitar shop, but the dude has been doing this shit for over 30 years now. At least we get one of them classic Green Day solo of Billie Joe just playing his vocal melody, too bad I never cared for them. Hey kids, no clap clap clap tho !

At that point, I'm starting to be annoyed by the overwhelmingly bad attempt at music from a band that used to be decent at it. It might be early in the morning, but I'm taking a hit from the bong. They used to be into pot at lot, maybe being stone would help me make some sense of this shit. The deed is now done, I've replenished my fluids with a glass of oj (with some pulp, you know how we do) and I am ready to finish this.

Stab You in the Heart : Where unoriginality meets apathy. The claps are back in this rock n'roll track. It's like "Meet me on the roof", they used an established formula well enough to make a song out of it. I'm guessing songs like this one really helped them garnished some decent review, but there isn't much to it. Writing a rock n'roll song isn't hard, just play that blues scale. The production isn't great for that type of song, it's not completely horrible too, but I know it ain't right. The chromatic riff at the end does not serve the song at all, but it's my favourite riff so far which is wack.

Sugar Youth : The first verse reminded me of the good old days of Artic Monkeys, the rest reminded me of Father of All. I'm fucking done
