Saviors - Album Discussion

[That Dude]

Fancy Sauce now tops my most played songs of 4 weeks, 6 months and all time.   What have YOU done for Fancy Sauce lately?   January 24th was my record, I listened to it 46 times on that day.   Wow.    I'm trying to get Goodnight Adeline to overtake 1981, because it's too popular and it's messing with my hipness.  lol.   I gotta get Strange Days up there with the Fancy Sauce too.

Can I put a request in for you to loop Coma City?

You can, but I won't do it.   🤩    I've actually played that one MORE than I wanted, so I'm trying to keep it from climbing right now.   Currently my 12st most played for the month, 9th most played for 6 months and 12th most played song of all time and space and coffee.  It's grown on me, but it's still one of the worst songs on the record for me.

I think I've figure out the tracklist for the 1972 EP.  The songs in the teasers plus "Saviors" and "1981".  I don't remember which article, but I've seen those talked about being created early in the process.     If this is correct, it would have been a fun little punk rock listen and it would have altered what Album 14 ended up being in a huge way.    

1972:  

Look Ma No Brains

Fancy Sauce

Coma City

Lving in the 20s

Saviors

1981

 

Album 14 would probably be called The American Dream Is Killing Me and be more Power Pop and Brit Pop:  

1. American Dream is Killing Me

2.  Bobby Sox

3. One Eyed Bastard

4. Fever 

5. Dilemma

6. Goodnight Adeline

7. Corvette Summer

8. Suzie Chapstick

9.  Strange days are Here to Stay

10.Father to a Son

11. Darn Junvinile Delinquents (Part I-15)

Just curious if anyone had seen streaming numbers from Amazon or Apple Music. Or, unlike Spotify, do they not share that data?

and father of all 😂

[billy1986]

I’d wish they’d play Father to a Son Coma City Strange Days over Corvette Summer as they are better songs and would be better single choices

And I thought the cowbell was an overdub 😂 but does anyone know which app Billie is using for the vocals? Looks like it can show lyrics matched with the tempo of the song!

My tracklist for the EP is:
1. TADIKM
2. One Eyed Bastard
3. Saviors
4. Corvette Summer
5. Damn Juvenile Delinquents
6. Fever

It'd be the FOAM leftovers

The 14th would've been called Strange Days and considered punk rock and pop-punk, maybe power pop as well:
1. Dilemma
2. Look Ma No Brains
3. Bobby Sox
4. 1981
5. Good Night Adeline
6. Coma City
7. Fritz
8. See You Again
9. Strange Days
10. Living in the 20s
11. Father to a Son
12. We All Die Young

Since it dropped only to #10 in Germany I was quite surprised.

[Twundy]

Obviously, I knew it would drop from week one sales, but I was still hoping it could stay in the top 25. It’s just a shame because so much went into the promotion and build up to this album, and the album itself is SO good. I am still streaming it multiple times a day. I just want the songs to be heard cause I think this is Green Day’s best work in a really long time. We’ll see. Keep streaming folks, and hopefully there will be a rebound in the coming weeks. 🤞🏻

FOAM dropped to 111 for its 2nd week. So honestly not that bad. The way Billboard 200 works for Green Day and similar rock bands is they will chart high on week 1 due to album sales but then fall a long way down due to album sales plummeting and streaming numbers being low

[DookieLukie]

Honestly so sad. It’s a quality album but rock is just that dead and people don’t follow Green Day anymore outside of the big fans.

[Christian's Inferno!]

I don't like the fact that there aren't any new entries in the top 20 of the Billboard 200. They're all albums that have been there for weeks at least

The music industry is broken in so many ways. We went from owning records to having personal devices that stored all those cds and files in one place on the go.

Now we rent music from a virtual service that is more legal than downloading but pays artists about the same as illegal downloading. It’s ok though cause it’s a corporation setting up the service.

GD is #1 in physical sales out of the list in the last 2 weeks. They’re the true number 1. I never met anyone who actually physically owned a Drake cd or vinyl.

GD is laughing anyways cause they made their money and pulled another top 5 for their legacy. The tour will be huge. They’re a shoe-in for a grammy nom with this record too.

Green Day are doing well.  So many bands that were huge in 1994 are now broke and playing in divebars for 10 or 20 people who paid 10 bucks to get in and half of them are just there to drink.   I mean, it's great for me because I can chat with the band and be front row center, but it's a far cry from what Green Day are doing.   I don't think Green Day will ever get to divebar level.

That’s good perspective, thanks. It’s also rare for a band 30 years in to put out one of their better works, so I think that’s part of the disappointment with popularity. Still confused how Blink maintains their popularity.

[devilskind92]

Remember, Blink leveraged their 'reunion' to spike their current popularity. It stirred nostalgia. In contrast, Green Day has been consistently present, dropping new material fairly regularly. This consistency means their album releases don't create a buzz among non-fans like a grand comeback would. If they had taken a hiatus or disbanded and then staged a reunion tour, I'm pretty sure they'd be huge.

We have to come to terms with the fact that the world isn't really into rock n' roll anymore, particularly from veteran bands. Popularity is often for the young artists, largely because it's the youth driving consumption. Green Day has enjoyed their moments of glory with two massive hits and now occupies a comfortable niche. Their enduring fame ensures they'll always retain a substantial following, even if they never recapture the huge successes of the 90s and 2000s. Holding out for a repeat of their past triumphs is setting ourselves up for disappointment. That ship has sailed, it ain't happening again unless there's a massive shift in the music industry somehow. But it's not within their power to make that change.
