Christian's Inferno! Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 So many times during this album where I'm reminded of other songs from other artists but the songs don't sound too derivative or unoriginal. The songs still stand on their own even if I can hear similarities between melodies. During Fancy Sauce, I can hear Weezer's Haunt You Every Day (the only song from Make Believe I actually like). I hear Sweet Child O Mine in Saviors. Bobby Sox does sound a bit like Chester Bennington like that one review said but it doesn't sound like Billie is trying to impersonate him (or else it would sound like shit, Chester's voice can't just be replicated). Coma City to me sounds kind of like it's from the most recent Network album except it's better than anything on there. When the songs are just this good, it's so much easier to forgive any kind of repetition or recycling. It just sounds natural and inspired. Not like lazy attempts to rip off other better songs. I think this album has an energy we've not heard since 21CB. The trilogy and RevRad, and even FOAMF had energy on some of the tracks but rarely do these albums go as hard as some of the tracks on this thing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Lights Flash Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 While waiting for the new Green Day album I took some time to listen to this new song by weezer called Fancy Sauce. It's really, really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montclare Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 It's also easy for them to just pick another song. Do Brainstew, do WICA, etc. And it'd be more interesting to the kid/crowd if it was a song they actually knew. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Seems like this one is going to do well. Could this influence the next record Green Day makes? Oh yeah! If Saviors is a blend of Dookie and American Idiot, then where could they go next? A blend of nimrod and Insomniac? 21st Century Breakdown and Nimrod? 5 minutes ago, Gwen Stacy said: *this post makes Jason White a sad panda* Jason's in like 8,394 bands, he'll be fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do get the whole ode to their roots thing but it really would be so much better for everyone if they used one of their own songs - they have a big enough catalog, they don’t need to be doing Knowledge or Rock n Roll All Nite! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post grinsoniko Posted January 18 Popular Post Share Posted January 18 It’s funny but still crazy to see how much hate the band is getting in comments from promotions, interviews, etc on social media. Of course it’s all coming from MAGA supporters calling them has beens, wanna be’s, libtards 😂 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannibalRat Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 After multiple spins of the new album, I can definitely agree that it's some of their best work in a while! "Father to a Son" and "Strange Days Are Here to Stay" are the highlights for me - them being reminiscent of the Trilogy. In fact, you can hear nuances from all over the band's discography throughout the record. ...Which is also why I can't just vibe with "Bobby Sox". It's like they took "I Was A Teenage Teenager" and somehow made it worse. Other than that, mostly solid work. If I didn't hold ¡Tré! in such high regard, I'd say Saviors is Green Day's best album since 21st Century Breakdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Bobby Sox and Fancy Sauce are getting the most flames at the moment, but it's close. Goodnight Adeline and Living in the 20s are also getting some decent flame numbers and no. There is no explanation for what I'm talking about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Was a Teenage Teenager is just cheesy. Bobby Sox is also one of my least favorites, but it's still miles better than ANY song on FOAMF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post teenagekicks Posted January 18 Popular Post Share Posted January 18 I feel like this is the album finishes the job that they came up short on with the trilogy, revrad, and FOAM. Those albums (to me) sometimes felt like trying new things just cuz, meanwhile Saviors sounds like they are using their life’s work to put on a masterclass. For example, Strange Days sounds like a classic Green Day song, but that little guitar riff in the chorus screams The Longshot. It just feels complete and well thought out unlike the majority of everything post- 21CB. Not sure how well it will do commercially, if people will like it, or how it will age, but I think it’s great. Again all my opinions and I know there are differing opinions of this later stage of their career. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
