New album - Saviors - Out January 19th

There's almost too much to say about this album.   I usually do a 700 word review, but I've got this monstrous 2000 word document on Saviors.  It's time to reel it in a little bit.        The short version is this:   Suzie and Strange Days ROCK!

Not really. I understand reviews tried to find an example cause Billie Joe screamed a little bit more than he usually does, but for me it didn‘t sound like Chester

Yeah I didn't hear anything that resembled Chester Bennington and parts of the song reminds me of teenage teenager so a kinda just like the change up really

Take me to the inn

In my loony bin

Somewhere I can rest my head

And take it on the chin

Flowers all in bloom

In my rubber room

Scratching at the wallpaper

In my solitude

 

Holy shit, this has to be the best, most personal song he’s ever written!!! Anybody have any ideas why the song is called Fancy Sauce?

I think it is a line that is 100% directed at the incels that end up being the mall/school shooters. They need to fuck a robot that only speaks English. Takes a direct shot at their inability to get sex as well as their racism against anybody that is a non-English speaker

That’s a great interpretation, much more powerful than what I came up with

1st off, they're literally back to the 39 smooth/slappy era again with resting heads (rest, paper lanterns), this song could've easily been on 1,039 
2nd off, it's like naming a song 'fart episode 2' with the lyrics being as depressing as wmuwse for example, I just don't get it 😕

It's literal, Billie Joe bought a robot.  ;)   You guys saw Billie says he hadn't heard The Black Parade by MCR????????????    I get it, you were busy trying to follow up Idiot but, Billie.    You really should check it out.      Otherwise, Gerard might change a lyric to 

I spent my high school career
Spit on and shoved to agree
So I could watch Green Day 
Sell a taco on TV
Bring out the old guillotine
Seperate em from their no-brains

I don't hear Dookie.    I hear the American Idiot sound with a lot of Uno and Tre thrown into the mix and some sprinkles of nimrod and Breakdown.   Interestingly enough, the lyrics book has images from warning, breakdown, kerplunk and idiot on the "living in the '20s" page.    Definely don't hear Kerplunk or warning......but I love it.  I love their new sound and the only songs that need time to grow in my ears are Coma City and Corvette Summer.   

Also, not a lot of explicit lyrics, but a lot of touchy subjects.   5 songs where the title isn't sung and Look Ma is on the fence for that part.   He's clearly saying "look mom, I ain't go no brain" but hey.   I'll let it slide.     He ain't got no brains to title the song correctly, that's cool.    Kind of a Bouncing of the Singular Wall moment.  

STRANGE DAYS ARE HERE TO STAY - should be a single.      Suzie and this one.    Immediately.   

oh, and the latest vocab word I learned is "Ballyhoo".

Oh, so covid-era type of lyric

It's just commenting on things that we have now that we didn't have before which make us more anti-social. Sex robots are a thing now. It wasn't a super deep or complicated lyric and it wasn't a metaphor. LOL

The name Fancy Sauce sounds like a silly working studio title for a song, and they just had nothing else for it by the time they were done.

5 of the these song titles sound like that.    Bobby, One Eye, Corvette Summer, Suzie and Fancy Sauce could have been "Boyfriend", "Vendetta",  "My Rock N Roll", "Lonely Night" and "Paradise For Locos" but no, Green Day got creative.  

 

I'm gonna say....fourth best record of all time?

Seeing/hearing those lyrics really made me hate the reviews that bashed those lyrics. I think they are some of the best on the album when you look at it through the lens that (I believe) it was written through.

We super disagree on this, but that's what I love about this band. Lol

Is Fancy Sauce perhaps a daft nickname for booze? The lyrics kinda make it look like it's a song about rehab?

I remember reading something about the iHeart Radio incident where Mike said that Billie was visibly drunk backstage and he confronted Billie and said, "Please lay off the sauce!"

Full heartedly agree. I don’t play bass or drums but maybe those pieces have more dookie? The intro to strange days sounds like basket case and letter bomb mashed up in the melody/guitar.

For sure, Corvette especially screams working title. Whole track list can be kinda weird to read. 
 

I’ll take them over calling songs Father Of All Motherfuckers and I Was A Teenage Teenager any day of the week tho.

Yeah Corvette Summer was the name of a 1978 movie
