Flashback Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Well I think overall this song-by-song review sounds pretty great. Only the review of Saviors is indeed bizarre, but the rest sounds VERY promising 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like 1972 expanded out to include some political and social songs seems like a mix bag of everything green day 37 minutes ago, Flashback said: Well I think overall this song-by-song review sounds pretty great.

Christian's Inferno! Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I figured the whole "Saviors" concept was gonna be similar to the "Heroes & Cons" and refer to the politicians and powerful people who would be portrayed as heroes/saviors but are actually just conmen. But since the album is apparently not going to be as political as 21CB was, it might make more sense as being the saviors of rock. Idk how I feel about that. As much as I love their music, I think it maybe makes them look a bit egotistical to imply they're going to singlehandedly save rock & roll 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine actually putting that cheering in when you just made the worst song of your career. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t hate FOAM completely, but the fact that multiple songs have a viable claim for this award says a lot (Oh Yeah is unlistenable to me) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JardyOfSuburbia Posted November 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2023 Oh my God I never noticed the crowd cheer in I Was A Teenage Teenager! I actually like that song a lot, though 🤷♂️ As far as the new album, I feel like OEB would work really well for a hockey team after they score a goal. If people sang along to Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis imagine an arena all going "Bada Bing Bada Bing Bada Booooooom" after a goal. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Bored. Let's open Album 20 thread. You know we'll get there. Even at album 14, it's hard to imagine what else the band can do or say. But they always come up with something each and every time. Album 20 will probably be out in 2041. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saviour Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I remember Kerrang! Magazine doing like a 6-page special previewing American Idiot in probably early 2004 with a track-by-track. They did not do it justice. Not that the expectations are that high for Saviors, but still, take these things with a pinch of salt. Still wondering which track Teaser #9 is, if anything. The drop-D track. Maybe Bobby Sox? Also, how do people know whether members of the band are sober or not? I'm not suggesting you don't know, it's just... How?

Flashback Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 The solo guitars of the bridge of Look Ma, No Brains! in the teaser sounds quite different to the final version. I wonder if this is just due to CLA's mixing or if they re-recorded some parts after they scrapped 1972. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
