New album - Saviors - Out January 19th

[The 99th revolution]

Am I supposed to be glad I preordered from a Polish record store chain?

[That Dude]

Wikipedia says Rob Cavallo plays guitar and piano and that Butch Walker plays guitar as well.   Wild.   That's different.   Rob guitars on Suzie and Saviors and Butch plays on Goodnight Adeline.

I think I might be wrong about that. I thought he had it in one of his weekly roundup vids. But I can only find TADIKM which was in worsts of the week and Dilemma which was in "meh". Regardless, I don't think the singles are representative of the album so it wouldn't surprise me if his opinion on some of the non-singles differs from what he thought of the singles. Again, I'm not expecting anything more than MAYBE a 5/10 but this is the same guy who put the trilogy in the same tier as AI, and put 21CB in E tier in his GD tierlist video (below every album except FOAM) so who the fuck knows

At this point, it feels like he is unwilling to approach new Green Day music with an open mind. I think he has decided he doesn’t like them a long time ago and  he’s not going to change his mind about it. So as far as I’m concerned, his opinion doesn’t really matter.

Yeah, I think Covallo added the piano bits in BOBD if I'm not mistaken

The guys were impressed when they first met Cavallo in 1993 because he wasn’t just a “suit”, he was a musician too and knew how to play every Beatles song on guitar.

And Walker is also a working musician besides a producer who’s been in several bands

What do you think Rob was trying to say when he said, “The feeling of playing over um…..”?

Still not sure what song this is I wanna say strange days but can't tell with billie just humming the words 

[The Grohl]

Something I noticed about Dilemma when I was listening to it this morning. I love the way it opens especially the way everything gets hushed and then we hear this BOOM before the song picks up and Billie sings "I've been sober now I'm drunk again!" I love that moment because of the anticipation. Also, not sure if this was intentional, to me is sounds like the THUD of Billie hitting the floor after passing out.

Done listening to the album . Just wow fucking wow.

 

Fking roller coaster ride

Suzie chapstick and Father to a son the best

[Creckles]

Here are my first listen through-ish rankings from best to least favorite:

Dilemma

Living in the '20s

Bobby Sox

Fancy Sauce

Suzie Chapstick

Strange Days Are Here To Stay

Goodnight Adeline

Saviors

Father to a Son

Corvette Summer

One Eyed Bastard

Coma City

Look Ma, No Brains

1981

The American Dream Is Killing Me

[That Dude]

I haven't picked out too many teasers in the songs, but Coma City is definitely one of them.   One of the first teasers. 

[Christian's Inferno!]

Back when 1981 was played live, everyone thought nothing of it because it sounded generic and repetitive. Back then, I said multiple times that good production could really make that song great and I'm so glad I was right about that because 1981 is absolutely a highlight for me on the album and it seems that a lot of people consider it a highlight. The chorus is just a great catchy singalong but the verses sound really good on the album too and the song is short enough that the repetition doesn't get annoying

it definitely is super catchy, I don't know why it doesn't hit for me as much.

Yes, the studio version has a lot of interesting musical and vocals turns that aren't apparent in the live, shakey videos.  I wasn't impressed with it until I heard the quality recording....last night.  

[DJ Rosstar]

While nothing blew me away on this record besides ‘Dilemma,’ I enjoy it more than ‘RevRad’ and ‘FOAMF.’

 

The sound is a ‘return to form’ of sorts musically to ‘American Idiot’ and ‘21CB,’ but, in my opinion, the lyrics aren’t nearly as strong. 

[StefanD]

currently 5am and just started the Album- Happy Saviors day! 

[þjáningu]

i was gonna wait like a good person for the album to come out in my timezone but i was desperate to hear fancy sauce again (first time being in the listening party) so i installed a vpn to listen to it on aussie youtube 😓❤️

 

i love it soo much ❤️ i'm crying 😭

Bobby sox by green day featuring olivia rodrigo will hit that charts for sure

I just crudely made this with Audacity and Voicify AI. Can’t upload it anywhere of course and it’s also very cursed. Maybe someday it will see the light of day

The American Dream Is Killing Me

Weird how much i fucking love the american dream is killing me since the release of that single. But after hearing it on the saviors album it went downhill for me. I hate it when that kind of phase happens.

I think TADIKM just doesn't work as a leading single or first track for this album. It's still a good song though.

It’s what started the hype. Realistically Green Day’s singles have always been their weakest songs. The only single I truly get the most out of now is LMNB. Even in context of the full album.

It worked really well as a first single, but the other songs just hit wayyy harder. But that's a good thing IMO. I don't think any songs on the album are skip-worthy, I love all of them.

Not even Bobby Sox? 😂😂

[龑美優]

Bobby Sox is great. The entire album is, really. It's such an emotional experience finally listening to the album repeatedly throughout the day. 

[That Dude]

I need to do a full listen, but I just keep skipping all the singles.  Hopefully my indie exclusive will be ready tomorrow morning and I'll listen to the whole thing them. Right now, the album feel very segmented.  Like after Amercian Dream, all the songs are sort of in pairs of two.    

[Creckles]

I wish Coma City hit harder for me. The solo portion is pretty good but idk how I feel about the rest of the song.
