Green Day - Saviors (January 19th, 2024) • Page 36

Wild to see them rebranding with a fully different name at this point. (Which is why I was confused as to what it is.)

 

Also how many punk bunnies need there be

 

I heard East Jesus Nowhere on Green Day radio like three days ago and it’s still stuck in my head

 

1981 sounds like my favorite type of Green Day song

 

Just like we do with the trilogy!

 

I had not given a second of thought to any of it beyond "trilogy is a hit like when Bruce put out the dual albums and his prime was over".

Then as I worked through it, it worked way better than I would have ever guessed haha

 

Are there any double or triple albums that justify their existence? Pretty much every single one would be better as a single LP, yes?

 

Mezmerize and Hypnotize. I will not be taking counter-arguments at this time.

 

whispers, i like the white album

 

Weezer’s, right?

 

NIN’s The Fragile is a great double album.

 

Albums like The River and The White Album get a lot of their magic from the sprawl and epic scope. I don't think either would be as good as a single-disc. A problem with the trilogy is it's just a lot of songs and gets samey after awhile. There's not a grander purpose for the size of the release. Similar problem with, like, Stadium Arcadium. (American Heartbreak also kind of has this problem, but the average quality of the songs there is so high that I can forgive it.)

 

this was good
Mike Dirnt Explains Why Green Day Waited Until Now to Write About Trump

 

as for double albums - Mellon Collie is obvious

 

This is what comes to mind for me. It felt like a lot of those songs needed 2 albums to exist within and that they wouldn’t be on an album unless it was a 2 album project.

Trilogy and some other double albums that come to mind as unnecessary seem to just be “here’s 24 songs instead of 12” and don’t get genuinely weird or unexpectedly beautiful within that giant scope that two albums affords an artist.

 

TMTMTP

 

I don’t think Foo Fighters “In Your Honor” is a great double album. But those songs are such different mood that they couldn’t co-exist on a single album.

 

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, anyone

 

All Things Must Pass

 

oh yeah obviously lol. knew I was forgetting a big one

anyway I'm headed to the listening party for this right now, I am quite excited

 

Wonder what the news is

 

I'm pleased to report Bobby Sox is the most bisexual Green Day song ever

 

More than Coming Clean?

 

1981 is exactly as good as everyone was hoping for, it's like Look Ma on steroids. just heard Coma City and that's my favourite so far, massive hook
