Saviors - Album Discussion

[stories and songs]

I wonder whether they had a long discussion about whether to release these songs as a standalone new EP given that they’re not Saviors outtakes, or whether to attach them to a deluxe edition so close to Saviors release. Usually those things come much later and people are ready to buy a new version of the album again.  But we all just bought it and it’s a tough decision to buy it again, but a new EP under new title and art I would definitely have bought if there was a CD version. 

I think deluxe albums come out relatively quick these days. Linkin Park’s new album dropped in November and their deluxe album is coming out in May. Looking at a totally different genre, Sabrina Carpenter’s new album came out in August and the deluxe came out in February. Six months to a year seems pretty standard with the artists I’m familiar with, and Saviors is (somehow) more than a year old already.

I think it’s a great sign we’re getting a deluxe. For YEARS this boys have been far behind on music promo, and this new era seems to have new management behind the scenes getting these videos, tracks, and social posts out there. It’ll also tie in nicely with their upcoming Coachella set, which you’d want new music prepared for.
 

Whether you’re a fan of deluxe editions or not, it’s very commonplace these days in music and from a marketing perspective it does a lot to extend the otherwise short lifespan of an album in the current music landscape. That said, I’m happy the boys have a competent team behind them now, and it shows because we are getting FED! 🥳

Wonder if “Damn Juvenile Delinquents” is on here renamed. Not even sure how we knew what the name of that leaked clip was, tbh.

This is a fun surprise and their first deluxe version in over a decade, I believe. Going to pre-order but holding out for maybe another signed CD.

Any idea what might be in the Zine?

I wonder if we are  getting all the unreleased songs from the snippets
