Saviors - Album Discussion

Recommended Posts

The riff to Living in the ‘20s sounds very similar to a Pearl Jam song called The Fixer 😄

Gotta say, Saviors is a brilliant record.

This album is amazing. For me, it's the best since 'American Idiot,' and I've listened to it several times. The production is fantastic, and so is the mixing.

 

Reflecting on the 'FOAM' period, there's a song I've never heard in full, just played it once: 'Meet Me on The Roof.'

 

Happy Saviors Day

Blasted it as a proper full run through, and it flows so much better now we know what all the songs sound like. The guitars on this sound absolutely fantastic btw. Some of the best tone they’ve ever put out. 
 

Top 3 

- Coma City 

- Livin In The 20’s 

- Strange Days Are Here To Stay  (love the riffs, reminds me of The Longshot) 

Worst 3

- Fancy Sauce (the lyrics are just nonsensical) 

- Bobby Sox 

- Father To A Son 

Overall it’s decent . Probably don’t make my top 5 albums tbh, but time can always change that. As long as they don’t play too much off this album live it’ll be sound ✌🏻

So first full listen at home after the pre-listening. Great album! I really had to smile when Billie twists the chorus of Fancy Sauce and changes "everybody's crazy" to "everybody's famous". And cool to see that they concentrated a bit more on the instrumentals and not just the vocal parts (by example in Coma City or Fancy Sauce). ❤️

I really don’t get the LiT20s hate..

I really like it! The guitar the drum, it’s a nice change of pace too

I don’t usually care for songs in minor keys as it is, but the lyrics about fucking a robot really made me squirm. It was FOAM level of lyrics and makes me wonder if it was an outtake from that one/written around the same time. That whole album’s lyrics just made me feel icky. 
 

I remember at the listening party thinking “holy dookie this is their best album” and my smile got bigger throughout, until I got to that track. 
 

oh well, there usually are a couple songs I don’t care for on each record. So many excellent songs on this one though. Bobby Sox is my new all time favorite.

If you have dealt with mental health and depression or have someone close that had to, listen to those lyrics again, it’s quite easy to understand them. 

It just doesn’t connect with me for some reason. I’m not a fan of the melody which doesn’t help I think. 
 

Maybe it’s a “time and a place song” but as for daily spins it’s not for me sorry 🤷🏻‍♂️

For those looking for Fever, Japanese music store Eruce.com, will eventually have the album for download. They have every Green Day album in MP3 and Flac. Look there before importing cause shipping from Japan is insane haha. 🙂

This album is just fantastic. There’s a song for everyone. The many different opinions around here already show that. Someone’s top 5 is someone else’s worst 5. And that’s awesome, everyone can enjoy this album in a different way!

My faves right now, in no particular order: Dilemma, Bobby Sox, Goodnight Adeline, Suzie Chapstik, and Fancy Sauce.

Least favorites are 1981, Coma City, and Saviors.

But I still enjoy the whole thing. It’s amazing, there’s no skippable song for me. DA. BOYS. ARE. BACK!!!

They are all fun songs but yeah it's funny that people can have so many different opinions, Me for example can't see the hype for Saviors or Fancy Sauce, definitely the "worst" ones (the YoYo and Loco's just get me out of the song honestly haha).

 

On the other hand, Look Ma, No Brains, Dilemma, Bobby Sox and Father to a Son are great songs that will remain in their catalog for sure.  And songs like 1981, Coma City and Suzie Chapstick are just straight up fun.

You can’t say that about Fancy Sauce on here, it’s not allowed 😂👀

Got to hand it to the GD store. Got the tracking number last night and today it’s been delivered! Not that I can open it cause I’m at work but I think this is the first time they’ve delivered a thing on time!

This is easily gonna be in my top three of Green Day albums. I never list Dookie or AI in my top three because they’re overplayed, so as great as they are, of the top three albums I can listen to on repeat:

1. Nimrod

2. Saviors

3. 21CB (bumping Warning out of the top three)

So you're saying this is your top 3, 4 and 5 :shifty:

No. Dookie and AI are below Warning and Insomniac too, so maybe 6 and 7. Hard when GD have so many great albums
