Green Day - Saviors (January 19th, 2024) • Page 6

no way I'm keeping 21 Guns, what a slog lol

 

I'm personally of the mind that the bloat and excess is kind of the point of 21st Century Breakdown. Cutting it down to 10 songs would make it a fleeter listen, for sure, but I think you'd lose something essential about that album.

Also, the title track is fucking great and cutting it is unconscionable!

 

I still hear 21 Guns on Q101 and that is the only Green Day single that is an instant skip for me

 

Listened to Nimrod yesterday. Stone cold classic. They really crushed it on 5 straight albums 94 to 04. One of the great runs in music history.

 

6 straight albums...91-04***

 

You cut out all my favorite songs.

 

I love 21 guns

 

the singles are some of the worst songs on that record

 

I think “Oh Love” is still the worst lead single. Just no energy to that at all.

 

oh love is a good song quit being boring

 

Oh Love is a great song but maybe not a great single.

 

I never gave the full album a shake until this year and it's about 75% due to how much I hate that song lmao

 

Still like “21 Guns.” Great bridge.

 

My friend and I just launched our podcast, Green Dudes. We're going through Green Day's discography song-by-song. For everyone here who wants to hear even more of my opinions. 100 percent uncut podcasting. No Swedish producers or whatever. Should be on most major podcast platforms.

We talk about the new song in the introduction episode, and then jump right into At The Library after. Hoping we get some hate-listeners lol.

More like oh brother.

 

Gonna check this out. Can’t wait for the FOAM episodes!

 

Agreed that Kerplunk-American Idiot is a hell of a run

 

Between American Idiot and 21CB is where the band mentally shifts for me from a band who never misses to a band that rarely hits

 

Sweet!

 

verses for the new song are enjoyable but that chorus is bad

 

ngl I just woke up, more perplexed than ever, about the suggestion to remove the title track from 21CB.

 

Also cutting American Eulogy and The Static Age is just... what the fuck

 

Yeah I guess it's kinda cool to hate because it's a somewhat cheesy slow single that got overplayed, but I love the song. The bridge is great. The only thing is, ever since I read someone point out that the solo in the bridge sounds like Full House opening credits song, I can't unhear it lol

I liked a lot of 21CB when it first came out, but I stopped going back to it a long time ago and now don't even have the songs in my itunes library. I should change that.

 

The title track is probably the best song on that album for me.

 

It's kind of like how it became cool to hate "Good Riddance" for awhile, and then "Wake Me Up When September Ends." All those songs got overplayed, but I'm over that issue all these years after the fact.

I don't go back to 21CB all that often, but I really enjoy it when I do.
