Smash It Like Bulushi Out Now!

[That Dude]

New Saviors track out now!

[Gwen Stacy]

I like it, it’s fun! Very much B-side material but I love B-sides so that’s alright by me. Glad they decided to treat us. 

[PhuzzyPhriend]

Not nearly as good as the rest of Saviors, but still very cool. Just what I needed while I sit here trying to plow through my dissertation proposal while blowing mucus out my nose.

[Little Boy Named Booze]

I just bought the Deluxe edition. Of course.

John Belushi was a comedian. He was part of the first SNL cast and famously starred opposite Dan Ackroyd in The Blues Brothers, which I cannot recommend highly enough. He sadly passed away due to a drug overdose.

Know Your Enemy put through a Longshot filter. 

Also, some new vocabulary.  Watusi, Vallejo. 

[Little Boy Named Booze]

I thought it was about Buschemi. Completely different person

[Flynn]

Wish I could reasonably pre order this right now, but I'm happy with the fact I got the signed CD anyway. Pleasant surprise and this is giving me the Saviors hype feelings from late 2023 early 2024 again haha. Of course this is not a CRAZY song but new Green Day always consumes me I can't lie

[PhuzzyPhriend]

My favorite movie is the Blues Brothers, so this makes me ridiculously happy.

[Reverend Strychnine Twitch]

Better than 4-5 songs on Saviors. Upbeat and fun! 

[That Dude]

Lyrical call back to "She"... possibly.

Thank you!☺️

Just a fun little song. Green Day has earned so much good will from me with Saviors that I’m just grateful and not going to expect something amazing from this.

[pacejunkie punk]

This is so catchy and fun I love it 🥰 I’m sitting here spiraling over the news and Green Day comes to save me like they do. I really needed this. I love my band. Listening on repeat ❤️ 

FYI, Vallejo is an East Bay suburb. It’s where Rod’s Hickory Pit used to be where Billie’s mom worked as a waitress and Sweet Children’s first performance was

[Maddie86]

I'm so glad they're putting out a deluxe version of Saviors, I accidentally scratched my original copy so there's skips on American Dream and Look Ma, I needed a new copy 

[AlissaGoesRAWR]

Wow, I needed that! 

[Insomniac186]

What a pleasant surprise and I'm happy about the short wait for the release. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the unreleased material. Still no Damn Juvenile Delinquents though, I was kind of surprised it wasn't one of the bonus tracks.

Haha same thing happened to me, I was just walking out of a doctor’s appointment and checked my phone and there it was. Had to endure the trip home before I could read everything properly and hear the song. Not complaining though, sure lifted my spirits!

I was afraid a lot of people were going to criticise the song super harshly even though it's an extra deluxe track that's probably not indicative of their future releases.

People act like tracks like Here Comes The Shock are the worst things to happen to humanity when they're just simple one off tracks to satisfy some fans between releases. And I see these type of tracks as the same thing. But people act like it's some indication of what their next album will sound like. People would even use Xmas Time of the Year to suggest that RevRad was gonna be the same as the trilogy or something.

I have seen people say this sounds like FOAM just cus it has a little bit of hand claps. I feel like everyone forgot why FOAM was bad. This track is better than basically everything on that album and Fever sounds much more like FOAM and isn't even on this Deluxe album.

Regardless, I like the song. Obviously not gonna make my favourite songs list but it's a nice, fun track. Guitar solo is nice. 

[Montclare]

Guessing the title is in reference to Animal House.

 

Also, The Blues Brothers is my all time favorite comedy, so this makes me doubly happy.

I can only speak for myself but my issue with Here Comes The Shock was that it doesn’t pass the “does this song have discernible subject matter” test, which frankly I don’t think is that high of a bar. Coming after Father of All, it came off as lazy and low effort. I get they were in their “off the cuff” mode of operating but I want them to give a little bit of a fuck, y’know? Not every song has to be Jesus of Suburbia but I don’t think it’s too much to ask to be able to tell what the idea being conveyed in the song actually is. Pollyanna and Holy Toledo were much better in that regard so I didn’t get fussed about them.

I thought Smash It Like Belushi sounded vaguely familiar and I just placed it: Clampdown by The Clash. I love how they wear their influences on their sleeves.
