Green Day - Saviors (January 19th, 2024) • Page 68

Really can't get enough of this album. Even with relatively high expectations after the first couple singles, I didn't expect that.

 

Same. Haven’t felt this immediate connection to a Green Day album since American Idiot.

 

liked four or five tracks here and dilemma is really great but overall this was a pretty tedious listen

 

GREEN DUDES SUPERSIZED SAVIORS SPECIAL! For those who want to hear me talk about the album for 4.5 hours

SAVIORS RELEASE SPECIAL!

 

Smashing pumpkins are an incredible live act.....though this pairing would make more sense if it was an anniversary of Mellon Collie or Siamese Dream

 

Cannot stop coming back to this. I honestly didn't think they had another album like this in them. Happy I was wrong.

 

I've listened probably a good 12-15 times from front to back and here's where I'm at:

Really great songs:
Dilemma
Suzie Chapstick
Bobby Sox
One Eyed Bastard

Good songs:
Goodnight Adeline
Fancy Sauce
American Dream
Look Ma
1981

'They're fine' songs:
Corvette Summer
Strange Days
Living in the 20s

'Not sticking at all' songs:
Coma
Father
Saviors

Overall, I think there could have been a really, really good 10 song album here, but there's definitely filler as is, in my opinion.

 

Really great songs:

i can't believe y'all think badabing gabagool is a good song

 

That was actually a typo. Bazoinga goes into the it’s fine category, as, despite all its faults, it’s still the great grandchild of Hitching a Ride.

 

The bassline in Goodnight Adeline is classic Mike Dirnt! It’s so good!

 

Uh what?

 

There’s nothing on this record I’d want cut

 

Assuming it's one-eyed bastard (badabing) and it's such a good song. Top 3 on the album for me.

 

The only one I don’t really like is Father. But I don’t hate it.

 

Maybe. (I've heard the opposite) But, I'd have to like the band to want to see them, and I don't really, and I'd want to support their lead singer even a little bit to want to give them my money, which I also don't.

 

I like all the songs to varying extents.

 

Really great songs:
bastard
coma
corvette
chapstick
20's

Good songs:
brains
sox
adeline
father
sauce

'They're fine' songs:
dream
strange
saviors

'Not sticking at all' songs:
dilemma
1981

 

It’s “So What.”

 

Can't argue with that

 

when sp brought jimmy and james back in they became good live again. no disagreements about not wanting to support billy corgi

 

Really great songs:
Dilemma - A new GD classic that I hope they play forever
Coma City
Look Ma, No Brains
Living in the 20s

Good songs:
Bobby Sox
The American Dream Is Killing Me
One Eyed Bastard
1981

'They're fine' songs:
Strange Days
Goodnight Adeline
Suzie Chapstick
Fancy Sauce
Father to a Son
Saviors

'Not sticking at all' songs:
Corvette Summer - this is too cheesy/FOAM/The Darkness for my taste

 

A few listens down now. The sequencing for much of this is really weird, feel like it doesn’t hit its stride and start flowing well until Suzie Chapstick. It’s basically just alternating faster songs with mid tempo songs and it’s clunky imo. it doesn’t help that I’m not digging most of those mid tempo songs very much.

That said, the last six songs of this are really good, and overall they sound the most energized they’ve been since 21CB

 

Tracking under 50k. Should be in the top 10.

 

i also do not love the sequence of this record, but i'd struggle to sequence it better bc i think it's down to there being 2-3 types of song total

still... playing it on the daily
