These music journalists are lazy as fk! Anyone who describes an acoustic ballad as dad rock is a fkn tool! Why do you need someone to tell you this album is what is, awesome AF! As I do with the good ones, my song by song review and I dig, coming soon. I’ve listened to the entire album several times and this one is gonna need the dust to subtle before I decide which I like best and what everything means. Eh Joey, this is a great fucking album eh? It’s a fucking meatball. Eh you said it. My soul needed this album. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never have I been so happy to have a belief be proven wrong. Saviors is not just a return to form. It is a phoenix rising from ashes, the strongest statement Green Day have made since the god damn 2000s. With energy galore, and genuine great songwriting, the California legends have reclaimed their glory. Welcome back, boys. Welcome back." 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekim Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I personally think fancy sauce is better than father to a son it's cool tune but nothing like listening to billie singing about mental health like a callback to restless heart syndrome 1 hour ago, HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN said: 4/5 from the Standard https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/music/green-day-saviors-album-review-billie-joe-armstrong-b1133041.html 7/10 “Saviors is a reminder of why you fell in love with Green Day, a triumphant outing that will surely silence the critics” https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/albums/green-day-saviors-triumphant-outing (still they don’t like Fancy Sauce, how I don’t know) Even her name sounds pretentious Vicky! lol fancy sauce was definitely a great closer the way it rides out with all the band members playing the fk out of their instruments is the perfect end to saviors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working as a bridge between their two most seminal albums, it adopts that raucous and chaotic element of Dookie yet blends it in with the clean cut and grandiose scale of American Idiot. It wouldn’t be at all surprising to see it creeping into people’s top five albums by the band.” 3,5/5 Rolling Stone France https://www.rollingstone.fr/green-day-saviors/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chin for a Day Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 If the Grammys had a comeback award, GD has just won it. It brought me to tears thinking how bad FOAM was and how much I love Saviors. I felt like the took a little bit of every album and included it in this album. It is almost like the summary of their career. There isn't a song I don't like. I am so very, very happy right now. They're back! The stand out song to me is Strange Days are here to Stay. Yes I know it starts as Basket Case, so catchy and so appropriate for the state of the world. Plus, classic, awesome Billie line, Jesus gonna quit his job. Have I mentioned I love this album? 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has good ratings in most music platforms, ok Google is at 4,7/5, I can basically only see enthusiastic fans reactions. Pretty sure stuff like that is review bombing from Trump supporters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the fans seem to like it, which is the most important thing. Certain people on the internet are just very cynical and people who write bad reviews on pages like Album of the Year just like to shit on popular artists like Green Day. They have decided to hate them and call everything they put out cringe or mid, regardless of the quality. I’m not saying everyone has to like the album, but to completely dismiss a record like this and give it a 0% rating is just dumb. However, I’d argue that 99% of the average population doesn’t spend their time writing or reading music reviews on ITunes or elsewhere. So let them be cynical. Personally, I hate this gatekeeper mentality. I know it’s a good record, critics know it’s a good record, and no one apart from some music elitists are going to read these reviews. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN Posted January 20 Popular Post Share Posted January 20 Very positive Variety review: https://variety.com/2024/music/album-reviews/green-day-saviors-album-review-1235879035/amp/ 9/10 https://thelivewire.com.au/2024/01/20/green-day-saviors/ “Saviors is no American Idiot, nor Dookie, nor Nimrod. Saviors is its own entity. It draws from the past to summarise the future. It’s open, honest, fast, slow, melancholic and contagious. No matter where you jumped on the Green Day bandwagon, there is something here for you. But make sure you strap in, because this wagon isn’t slowing down anytime soon. ” 5/5 https://crypticrock.com/green-day-saviors-album-review/ “In enough words, just savor the taste and experience everything” With so many reviews out, I think it’s safe to say this record is a critic success, the best rated record since American Idiot.

Well done Green Day, you did it again ❤️ Yeah, I just read and was gonna post the Variety review. It says best album since AI and “actually sounds richer and fuller” thanks to Rob C. That’s a bold and possibly true statement. Although for me I wouldn’t put TCB as one of the 5 between. To me, TCB was always a sequel to AI and this album sort of is the next of their best. If I’m being honest, I never thought they could put out an album this good again. Had some hope with “Love is for Losers” but as I ease into my older age, I just love these guys. I grew up with them since 91. Saw them in a house once, some them in front of 500 at a fairground and I’ve seen them in stadiums all over the world and countless festivals. “They can’t be convicted, they’ve earned their degree” Long health to them. Thanks for finding my soul and for keep jolting and massaging it. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
