Introducción: el regreso del gigante del punk rock

"Revolution Radio", el duodécimo álbum de Green Day, es un poderoso regreso a la forma tras la divisiva trilogía. Lanzado en 2016, el disco es una vuelta al sonido que los consagró: una mezcla de punk rock enérgico, pop-punk melódico y rock alternativo con conciencia política.

Producido por la propia banda por primera vez en años, el álbum aborda temas como la violencia armada, la cultura de las redes sociales y la agitación política en la era de Donald Trump, pero desde una perspectiva más personal e introspectiva que sus óperas rock. "Revolution Radio" fue aclamado por la crítica y los fans como su mejor trabajo en más de una década.

El origen del álbum

Tras la pausa que siguió a la rehabilitación de Billie Joe Armstrong, la banda se reagrupó en su propio estudio de Oakland, OTIS. La decisión de autoproducir el álbum les dio un control total y un renovado sentido de propósito. El resultado es un sonido más crudo y directo, pero con la madurez de una banda con más de 25 años de carrera.

Repaso a los temas

"Bang Bang": El primer single es una explosiva canción de punk rock escrita desde la perspectiva de un tirador masivo, una crítica a la cultura de la violencia y la fama en Estados Unidos.

"Still Breathing": Un himno de rock alternativo sobre la supervivencia y la superación de la adversidad, inspirado en las luchas personales de Armstrong.

Ventas y recepción

"Revolution Radio" fue un éxito mundial, debutando en el número 1 en Estados Unidos, el Reino Unido e Irlanda. La crítica lo aclamó como un regreso triunfal, elogiando su energía, su relevancia temática y la calidad de sus composiciones.

  1. Somewhere Now4:09

    Letra

    [Verse 1] I'm running late to somewhere now, I don't want to be Where the future and promises ain't what it used to be. I never wanted to compromise and bargain with my soul, How did life on the wild side ever get so dull? [Chorus] I've grown up and am medicated, On my own Cellular waves. I put the riot in Patriot, And we all die in threes. [Verse 2] I got a scene in the middle of the road, I'm gonna take my time. I shop online so I can vote, At the speed of life. I'm like a drone way up in the sky, I'm a shooting star. There's a soldier that's freaking out, Because this is war! [Chorus] I've grown up and am medicated, On my own Cellular waves. I put the riot in Patriot, And we all die in threes. All I want is weed and guns, A new catastrophe, yeah. Here comes nothing, there's nothing to lose, It's a small price we pay, When we all die in threes. [Bridge] Somewhere now, Somewhere now, Somewhere now! Somewhere now, Somewhere now, Somewhere now! [Outro] Hallelujiah! I found my soul Under the sofa pillows. Congratulations, I found myself Somewhere now, Somewhere now, Somewhere now!
  2. Bang Bang3:25
    vídeo del tema Bang Bang
    [Intro] "This is definitely not the first video to surface of an execution. " "...of men, they claimed responsibility for the executions. " "Described as severely mentally disturbed." "It appears to show another hostage executed by the terrorist group." "Deserve to be annihilated." [Verse 1] I get my kicks and I wanna start a rager, I wanna dance like I'm on the video. I got a fever for the violent behavior, I'm sweatin' bullets like a modern Romeo. [Chorus] Bang, bang, give me fame! Shoot me up to entertain, I am a semi-automatic lonely boy. You're dead, I'm well fed! Give me death or give me head, Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier. [Verse 2] I testify like a lullaby of memories, Broadcasting live and it's on my radio. I got my photobomb, I got my Vietnam, I love a lie just like anybody else. [Chorus] Bang, bang, give me fame! Shoot me up to entertain, I am a semi-automatic lonely boy. You're dead, I'm well fed! Give me death or give me head, Broadcasting from my room and playin' with my toys. I wanna be a celebrity martyr, The leading man in my own private drama. Hoorah, bang, bang, hoorah, bang, bang, the hero of the hour, Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier. [Bridge] I wanna be like the soldiers on the screen, It's my private movie (holy war). Oh baby, baby, this is Viva Vendetta, Oh this is love or it's World War Zero. [Chorus] I wanna be a celebrity martyr, The leading man in my own private drama. Hoorah, bang, bang, hoorah, bang, bang, the hero of the hour, Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier. I wanna be a celebrity martyr, The leading man in my own private drama. Hoorah, bang, bang, hoorah, bang, bang, the hero of the hour, Daddy's little psycho and mommy's little soldier.
  3. Revolution Radio3:01

    Letra

    [Verse 1] Scream, with your hands up in the sky, Like you want to testify For the life that's been deleted. Sing, like a rebel's lullaby, Under the stars and stripes For the lost souls that were cheated. We will be seen but not be heard. [Chorus] We are Revolution Radio, Operation "No Control", And the headline "My love's bullet proof". Give me cherry bombs and gasoline, Debutantes in surgery, And the headline "Legalize the truth". [Verse 2] Give me rage, like there’s teargas in the crowd, Do you wanna live out loud? But the air is barely breathing. Rise, of the slums to the obsolete, The dawn of the new airwaves for the anti-social media. [Chorus] We are Revolution Radio, Operation "No Control", And the headline "My love's bullet proof". Give me cherry bombs and gasoline, Debutantes in surgery, And the headline "Legalize the truth". [Bridge] We will be seen but not be heard, We are the songs of the disturbed. [Chorus] We are Revolution Radio, Operation "No Control", And the headline "My love's bullet proof". Give me cherry bombs and gasoline, Debutantes in surgery, And the headline "Legalize the truth".

  5. Outlaws5:03

    Letra

    [Verse 1] Life, after youth, Faded in twilight, The dawn of a criminal in bloom. First love, First forgiveness, We were delinquants, Freaks of a faded memory. [Chorus] Outlaws, When we were forever young. When we were outlaws, We're outlaws of redemption, baby. Hooligans, We destroyed suburbia. When we were outlaws, We're Outlaws of forever, baby. [Verse 2] Scars, broken hearts, Breaking in cars, Running in the light of the moon. Lost souls, Bottle rockets. All that we wanted, It's for our lives beyond stars. [Chorus] Outlaws, When we were forever young. When we were outlaws, We're outlaws of redemption, baby. Hooligans, We destroyed suburbia. When we were outlaws, We're Outlaws of forever, baby. [Bridge] I've got no supervision, Nothing will change my spirits. Race around with my innocence, I'll plead my innocence, But thats my best defense When you are young. [Chorus] Outlaws, When we were forever young. When we were outlaws, We're outlaws of redemption, baby. Hooligans, We destroyed suburbia. When we were outlaws, We're Outlaws of forever. [Outro] I found a knife by the railroad track, You took a train and you can't go back. Forever now, forever now you'll roam.
  6. Bouncing Off the Wall2:40

    Letra

    [Verse 1] Concrete dream, hey! I'm gonna make a scene radio Caught burning gasoline, sleeping in reverse, And everybody's bouncing off the walls. Bombs away, hey! It's just another day, And I don't tread. The secret of the day, I wouldn't sweat it And everybody's bouncing off the walls. I'm bouncing off the walls! Alright! Concrete kiss, hey! Come on and do the twist, radio. My little exorcist, we're all getting pissed, And everybody's bouncing off the walls. [Chorus] 'Cause it's all that I want, And I want to be free, I got Satan riding next to me. 'Cause we're all bloody freaks, And we'll give you the creeps, Chasing fireflies and zeroes! 'Cause it's all that I want, And I want to be free, I got Satan riding next to me. 'Cause we're all bloody freaks, And we'll give you the creeps, Chasing fireflies and zeroes!
  7. Still Breathing3:45
    vídeo del tema Still Breathing
    [Verse 1] I'm like a child looking off in the horizon, I'm like an ambulance that's turning on the sirens, Oh, I'm still alive. I'm like a soldier coming home for the first time, I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine, Oh, I'm still alive. [Pre-Chorus] Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm? Just shine a light into the wreckage, So far away, away [Chorus] Cause I'm still breathing, Cause I'm still breathing on my own! My head's above the rain and roses, Making my way, my way. Cause I'm still breathing, Cause I'm still breathing on my own! My head's above the rain and roses, Making my way, my way, My way to you. [Verse 2] I'm like a junkie tying off for the last time, I'm like a loser that's betting on his last dime, Oh, I'm still alive. I'm like a son that was raised without a father, I'm like a mother barely keeping it together, Oh, I'm still alive. [Pre-Chorus] Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm? Just shine a light into the wreckage, So far away, away [Chorus] Cause I'm still breathing, Cause I'm still breathing on my own! My head's above the rain and roses, Making my way, my way. Cause I'm still breathing, Cause I'm still breathing on my own! My head's above the rain and roses, Making my way, my way, my way... [Bridge] As I walked out on the ledge, Are you scared to death to live? I been running all my life, Just to find a home that's for the restless, And the truth that's in the message, Making my way, away, away. [Outro] Cause I'm still breathing, Cause I'm still breathing on my own! My head's above the rain and roses, Making my way, my way. Cause I'm still breathing, Cause I'm still breathing on my own! My head's above the rain and roses, Making my way, my way, my way... Cause I'm still breathing, Cause I'm still breathing on my own! My head's above the rain and roses, Making my way, my way, My way to you.

  11. Forever Now6:52

    Letra

    [Verse 1] My name is Billie and I'm freaking out, I thought before I was and I can't get it figured out. I sit alone with my thoughts and prayers, Screaming my memories as if I was never there. [Chorus] Standing at the edge of the world, It's giving me the chills. Looking down the edge of the world, Lost in a tangle, it's freaking me out. Burning lights and Blackouts, From the edge of the world, From the edge of the world. [Verse 2] I'm like a punk rocker on labor day, How the hell did I work so hard to be born this way? I never learned to read or write so well, But I can play the guitar until it hurts like hell. [Chorus] Standing at the edge of the world, It's giving me the chills. Looking down the edge of the world, Lost in a tangle, it's freaking me out. Burning lights and Blackouts, From the edge of the world, From the edge of the world. [Hook] If this is what you call the good life, I want a better way to die. If this is what you call the good life, I want a better way to die. [Bridge] Oh, I Don't wanna think about tomorrow, Dont wanna think about the road, It doesnt matter anyway. Oh, I Wanna start a revolution, I wanna hear it on my radio, I'll put it off another day. I want a new conspiricy, And the silence of a thousand cries. So hurry up, I want a better way to die. I'm running late to somewhere now, I don't want to be, Where the future and promises, ain't what it used to be. I never wanted to compromise or bargain with my soul, How did life on the wild side ever get so full? Somewhere now, Somewhere now, Somewhere now, Somewhere now Don't wanna think about tomorrow, Somewhere now, Dont wanna think about the road, Somewhere now, Oh I wanna start a revolution, Somewhere now. (I ain't gonna stand in line no more!) Don't wanna think about tomorrow! (I ain't gonna stand in line no more!) Don't wanna think about the road (I ain't gonna stand in line no more!) I wanna hear it on my radio, I'll put it on another day! (I ain't gonna stand in line no more!)

    vídeo del tema Ordinary World
    [Verse 1] Where can I find the city of shining light, In an ordinary world? How can I leave a buried treasure behind, In an ordinary world? The days into years roll by, It's where that I live until I die, Ordinary world. [Verse 2] What would you wish if you saw a shooting star, In an ordinary world? I've walked to the end of the earth and afar, In an ordinary world. Baby, I don't have much, But what we have is more than enough, Ordinary world. [Verse 3] Where can I find the city of shining light? In an ordinary world. How can I leave a buried treasure behind? In an ordinary world. Baby, I don't have much, But what we have is more than enough, Ordinary world.
