Revolution Radio is the twelfth studio album by Green Day, released in 2016.In 2012, the band was on the verge of imploding. They were in the middle of an ambitious plan to release three albums in one year — the Uno! Dos! Tre! trilogy — which received mixed reviews and the lowest sales of the band's career.In the middle of this, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong had a very well-publicized meltdown while performing on iHeartRadio, where he stopped in the middle of performing "Basket Case", went on a foul-mouthed rant, smashed his guitar, and flipped the audience off before walking away in anger. The performance wasn't received well.After the failure of the trilogy, which Billie himself admitted was a mistake, the band decided to get back to basics. As such, Revolution Radio was Green Day's most straightforward album since Warning:, lacking the Rock Opera elements from American Idiot/21st Century Breakdown and the unchecked ambition of the Uno! Dos! Tre! trilogy.The album was largely well received by critics and audiences, and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. Two of the album's singles — "Bang Bang" and "Still Breathing" — reached #1 on both the Mainstream Rock charts and Alternative Charts.Followed by 2020's Father of All Motherfuckers.

Alliterative Title: "Revolution Radio", both the song and the album. "Troubled Times" as well.

Cool People Rebel Against Authority: Played straighter than in some of their previous albums, though still deconstructed somewhat.

Non-Appearing Title: "Forever Now". Zig-zagged since it does get a Title Drop in the closing line of "Outlaws."

Cruel Twist Ending
 Revolution Radio (Music) / int_a4cd4fc6
comment
Cruel Twist Ending: "Outlaws." The song is a nostalgic tribute to the band's younger years, but the final lines reveal "a knife by the railroad track," a Deadly Euphemism for suicide. Even worse, this references a friend of the band who did just that.

One-Word Title: "Outlaws" and "Youngblood," so much as the latter can be counted as one word.

Lyrical Dissonance: "Too Dumb to Die" sounds unusually peppy for a song about not knowing one's place in the world.

Surprisingly Gentle Song: "Ordinary World" is possibly the softest song Green Day has ever recorded, being a straight up acoustic ballad.
