Rolling Stone gives four stars to 070 Shake and Green Day “The 22-year-old North Bergen, New Jersey, rapper-singer 070 Shake, a.k.a. Danielle Balbuena, hit mainstream radar via Kanye West’s Wyoming sessions, functioning as fluid spirit animal/superego on Ye’s “Violent Crimes” and “Ghost Town,” and Pusha T’s “Santeria.” Born to a Dominican immigrant mom, Shake grew up on Lauryn Hill and My Chemical Romance. The flows come hard and soft, in English and Spanish, with verses suggesting a fierce, strong, proud, brave, spiritual being who’s also hungry, searching, scared, self-loathing, and self-destructive. Like plenty of humans, especially in their early twenties. Shake’s enveloping debut LP, Modus Vivendi, charts desire and space —outer and inner — it’s an emo- rap Dark Side of the Moon. Songs address a lover (possibly model Sophia Diana Lodato) and perhaps Balbuena, too, looking into the mirror. The delivery can be slurred and druggy, and past verses allude to depression and suicide (see “Mirrors” and “Sunday Night,” the early track that caught Kanye’s ear). On Modus Vivendi, the vibe’s provisionally hopeful, even blissful. Amid synth clouds on “Under the Moon,” Shake hungers for a buzz while savoring someone’s “killer two-piece.” The neurochemistry of “Microdos- ing” may be hormonal or psychedelic. “Daydreaming” imagines a “mini-retreat” via a “spaceship in the back of the seat.” The beats, such as they are, conjure the proto-new age electronica of Synergy and Tomita, whose Debussy-channeling “Gardens in the Rain” flick- ers through “Rocketship,” Shake affirming “the moon feels better than the sun” in vocoder fractals. As Afrika Bambaataa retooled Kraftwerk LPs and Ye sampled King Crimson, it shouldn’t be surprising that Modus Vivendi suggests Enya and Pink Floyd as much as Frank Ocean. Even so, Shake digs deep. “Come Around” is seeded with the theme to the 1975 Bol- lywood gangster hit Dharmatma, the lodestone sample of Jaylib’s “Champion Sound.” Here, it’s barely a skeleton within a multitracked chant imploring “baby, I’m in need.” A Spanish guitar flourish breaks dawn on “Morrow,” while “The Divorce” flips turbulent rhythms by master Cuban conguero Patato (“Rumba Pa’ Paris”), with hot fusion licks by guitarist Justus West alongside keyboardists/co-producers Mike Dean and Dave Hamelin (of Canadian indie rockers the Stills). Most striking is “The Pines,” a bloodletting of jealousy-toxins that repurposes the murderous folk traditional Leadbelly recorded as “Where Did You Sleep Last Night?” and Nirvana released as “In the Pines.” While it can often go dark, the vibe is empathic; Shake’s said the record was designed to comfort, and counter hate. Even the scar- fingering single “Guilty Conscience,” as it rewinds a betrayal, sounds like a synth-pop hug. But ultimately, this is cleareyed music. After pondering mortality on “Terminal B” and accepting “really nobody’s safe here,” “Flight 319” gets intimate in a 3 a.m., four-drinks-in way you can imagine at arena scale. “Lost her only son, and he wasn’t even three,” Shake rhymes, embodying an astronaut “being held down by gravity,” and trying to offer consolation that’s cut off in mid-sentence. It’s the sound of a realist and fantasist sparring, and it’s obviously where Shake lives. Rating: 4/5” - Rolling Stone, 1/14/2020

“As the most commercially popular punk band in the history of the United States, Green Day have often admirably taken it on as their obligation to make Rock For Our Times, to heal — or, if the case requires, salt — our national wounds. It’s a tough gig. The Clash only had to make London Calling once; Green Day have been around for 34 years, six presidents, four or five stupid wars, a few global financial col- lapses, and 17 seasons of The Voice. That’s a lot of American shitpocalypse to churn through. Sometimes the band has leapt into its role as generational spokespunks (2004’s landmark American Idiot); at other times, they’ve seemed to sort of slide there by default (2016’s Revolution Radio). Their lat- est album arrives at the dawn of an election year, but this time out, if you’re expecting the band to cater to our pain and spray-paint another blood-red Rorschach on the Washington Monument or tell you who to vote for in the New Hampshire primary, well, you’re going to have to get that advice from Paul Krug- man or Bon Iver or whoever. If you’re just looking for some catchy pop-punk rock & roll tunes, they’ve written 10 of those, and most of them are real good. The band heard on Father of All Motherfuckers (or Father of All…, as it’s being sold at the Safemart over in Cowardsville) sounds refreshingly, almost Kerplunk-ishly, unburdened by legacy or accrued stature. While the album’s title might reasonably describe the cur- rent occupant of the White House, Billie Joe Armstrong recently told Rolling Stone that the band specifically set out not to waste their time on a bunch of songs about Trump. Instead, they wrote a bunch of songs about being middle-aged rockers in love with their record collection. In some ways, Father of All… recalls 2000’s Warning, an album released at the nadir of alt-rock’s cultural reach in which they displayed their mastery of vintage rock songcraft. Like that record, this one seems uniquely minor for Green Day, both in design and execution, and in a good way. Warning opened up tastefully nicking the Kinks’ “Picture Book.” The references here are equally classic. The glam-slam stomper “Oh Yeah!” summons Joan Jett’s version of “Do You Wanna Touch Me.” The speed-freak Merseybeat cheese of “Stab You in the Heart” is phony Beatlemania at its finest, right down to its screaming-girl crowd noise. A couple songs — the begging, pleading breakneck title track, the wonderful Dexy’s Midnight Runners-tinged mod swing of “Meet Me on the Roof ” — play with echoes of Sixties soul. Fitting this bright palette, Green Day revel in a decidedly lighthearted vision of teenage wasteland, piling on razor hooks, corn-syrup guitar crunch, and hand-clap drum bash, rarely stooping to inject these oft-blazing tunes with much in the way of bile or ballast. When they do channel all-American angst, the tone is winking and wistfully matter-of-fact, rendering adolescent rage as a fun, formal gesture. “Graffitia” riffs on Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime Blues” and Summer of Love pop as it looks back longingly at the glory days of Bay Area punk; the album’s big anthem is knowingly titled “I Was a Teenage Teenager”; its catchiest tune is called “Sugar Youth,” and sugar- sharp it is, an absolute masterclass in Cali-core hooksmanship. Things slow down for “Junkies on a High,” a torpid, bluesy grind that brings out the incipient fear and loathing that still lurks just below the surface of one of Green Day’s most fun albums. Father of All… is a bountiful act of recovered rock memory, an effortlessly affirming argument that the first mosh pit or car radio contact high you get when you’re 13 years old can be enough to sustain you long into life. It’s a deep, deep thing, and, in a sense, a defiant and subtly political statement, too: Even after the coup that installs Ivanka Trump as president for life, James Brown and the Buzzcocks will still be there for you.
