Green Day - Saviors (January 19th, 2024) • Page 60

I love this album so much. That Bobby Sox video is perfect!

 

God I fucking love this band.

 

Oh wow Living in the ‘20s rules

 

Look ma, I'm on TV!

 

That Jimmy ain’t no Saint

 

He’s such a tool

 

Still going with the album. About halfway through "Living in the 20's." But maaan has this exceeded my expectations thus far! It's well-paced and the songs are enormously catchy, the urgency's back and all that.

And I finally figured out the band that "Bobby Sox" reminded me of: Prince Daddy & The Hyena.

 

First listen down and lemme just say this record is FUN. That’s all I’ve ever really wanted out of this band, and they delivered. Feels great to be excited about a new Green Day record

 

I only got into Weezer because of the Hella Mega Tour and even I think Bobby Sox is a Weezer song.

I want Coma City live so bad.

 

Wow. After one listen, I can say I enjoy this album. I thought this band was dead in the water after that last one.

 

Closing with Whatsername. I would go just to hear that live.

 

Absolutely loving the vibe of the Bobby Sox music video.

 

Strange Days is hitting hard. We got strong Nimrod vibes along with Billy Joe swallowing his own tail by sounding like Chris Envy from Showoff during the last vocal flourish on the chorus (“staayuuuh”). Might be my #1 at this moment in time.

 

1981 sounds like The Tide Is High by Blondie. No escaping that.

 

Here is my only Weezer take: My favorite song of theirs is Beverly Hills.

 

Looking at that setlist makes me wish the band were more adventurous on big tours (non-anniversary ones at least). American Idiot and Dookie combined is 27 songs so not much room for encores on this tour.

 

This is great.

Can’t wait to see what they cook up in 2034!

 

A lot to like on here, I dig it. FOAM sounded like a midlife crisis and this album feels like rocking a salt/pepper beard

 

This is the album they NEEDED to make after that last one. So happy to report its good

 

Any place to hear the bonus track yet?

 

That’s excellent. I shouldn’t yuck someone’s yum. That’s what Weezer evangelists do.

Enjoy the show - and bring good earplugs! We have used these for years.

This is my daughter’s third time seeing Green Day and she wears them the whole show without complaint - but I do give her one song during the regular set and one during the encore where she gets to take them off to hear the music blast. It’s still a hell of a lot more protection than I had when I was a kid, and the look on her face when a song is bouncing off the crowd and everyone is screaming, like Basket Case or “If You’re Too Shy” by the 1975 (her fav) makes it all worth it.

 

Halfway through the album and I'm underwhelmed. I'll come back to the rest later
