F Off is pretty good. The rest of the brand new ones could’ve had some improvements whether it was being less minimalistic with the music on Stay Young, or being better structure wise on Underdog. All the new b-sides at least song wise are good, but again things about them could’ve been a lot better. And the acoustic versions just seemed unnecessary. They already were kinda stripped down, didn’t really need to be again.

You are so right! But here it is quite okay compared to Reddit. The comments there are ugh... ☹️ As for me, I like the new songs. I just wish the lyrics weren't so repetitive sometimes. But overall I'm happy!😊

God there’s no pleasing some of you 🤣 if we never got new music you’d complain, we get new music more often you complain it’s not good enough. Just take it for what it is, extra songs to finish out the era. I’ve never known a group of fans to be sooooo critical about every last thing

I love Saviors, but this isn’t it. Smash it like Belushi and Ballyhoo are fun and catchy, but the other new songs feel more like C-sides. The acoustic songs sound like lesser versions of the originals.

I won't be able to listen until tonight/tomorrow. It's exciting with new music but don't have the highest expectations.

Oh boy 😮‍💨 These new songs aren't good but they are b-sides (I think) so I'm not gonna get worked up about it

I really wish they would have actually written a chorus for Stay Young. I like what it has going on but it definitely feels incomplete. Nothing really stands out for me besides Belushi. I still enjoy that a lot, but unfortunately it gave me high hopes for the rest.

Fuck Off kinda reminds me of Murder City

I did a playlist or an alternate fan made green day album ( or a saviors/1972 double album) since those 5 new songs didn't fit on saviors 15 track album (I love all songs from saviors no skips) Here's the tracks (Oh man i really wish they should have release those 7 bonus tracks as a standalone EP) 1. Here comes the shock 2. Ballyhoo 3. Fuck Off 4. Holy Toledo 5. Underdog 6. Smash It Like Belushi 7. Stay Young 8. Polyanna 9. Father To A Son (Acoustic) 10. Suzie Chapstick (Acoustic)

I found Smash It Like Belushi and Ballyhoo to be the highlights from the deluxe for me, and even they aren't top tier songs by any means. Stay Young - 7/10 - Lyrically the best of the bunch and the melody is pretty catchy. Musicality of Whatsername with the lyrical themes of X-Kid. The song definitely drags and unfortunately feels the length of its run-time. The chorus could really be something great if it didn't just repeat "Stay young, stay young" over and over. Fuck Off - 6/10 - guitar riff is the same as C.U.N.T. from The Network. It's a self aware ridiculous song that strives to do what Platypus, FOD, and Take Back did but not nearly as successful at attaining it. Incredibly repetitve. Pretty standard by the books track, nothing special but also not bad. Underdog - 6/10 - weird choice to have an entirely different production feel for this track. Not a fan of the production and mixing on this one. Almost feels like a demo mix compared to the rest of the tracks and doesn't feel like it fits the Saviors era (although most of the bonus tracks feel that way to an extent). Again very repetitive. Production and repetitive nature really detract from what could have been a better song. Feels almost unfinished. Having this end with the album on repeat does lead nicely into The American Dream Is Killing Me oddly enough. The acoustic tracks didn't do much for me at all. They're just not as exciting minimalistic alternative takes of the originals. Was hoping for more changes and substantial vocal differences which they didn't deliver. Overall, I see why these are bonus tracks. They aren't bad and aren't great, but if this was released as a standalone EP or as proper album tracks on a next album following Saviors I would be highly disappointed. Glad Saviors era got to be extended through this and I truly hope the songs grow on me more. As it sits now, I likely won't revisit these too often once the novelty of new songs wears off.

Fuck Off has the guitar riff from C.U.N.T.

apparently Father To A Son Acoustic is basically the same minus the vocals ...which leads me to ask: WHY DIDNT FANCY SAUCE GET AN ACOUSTIC VERSION INSTEAD?

Get excited for stay young and fuck off. Underdog is the weakest one unless you like father of all pt 2.

I haven't listened to it yet, but reading these comments makes me excited, hehe !!

Just checked YT Music and it's out, currently bopping to Fuck Off.

Ballyhoo 6/10 Rest of the new ones 5/10 Any babger, but either any bad song in the new ones

I think i'm the only one who thought of it 😅✌️. I hope not.

Stay Young Stay Young Stay Young 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 It reminds me of something of MCRs Danger Days 🙌 also the acoustic tracks are amazing - especially father to a son

Lyrically speaking, Stay Young almost strikes me as pseudo-sequel/spiritual successor of sorts to X-Kid, and looking at it through that lens got me a tiny bit emotional. The lyrics don't necessarily line up 1:1, but that was first thing I thought of when listening to it. Definitely loving the vibes of the track, even if the chorus is a pretty repetitive. Fuck Off is cathartic. The trilogy/Longshot vibes of Underdog is contagious. Billie could make a dime-a-dozen tracks in that style and I would shamelessly eat it right up. Ballyhoo is still my favorite (with Fuck Off in contention), and Belushi is a catchy enough romp that is fun to play.

Don't have scans, but I could try take pictures and upload tomorrow. There's nothing we really don't know other than that the Saviors cycle is probably gonna end after the summer run, so they can all take some time off 😅

Fuck Off is def my fav diughluxe bonus track Underdog mix sounds off tho. Specifically the drums are way too goddamn quiet

Just received it in the mail. I need to drive an hour tonight so I know what I will put in my car!
