Saviors (édition de luxe) - Out May 23rd !!

[billy1986]

Sounds like sex drugs and violence from the trilogy…seems to cover suicide/self harm drinking and a lo of other topics. Wonder what song the music video will be for?

Really loving Ballyhoo. After Smash it Like Balushi I was expecting these to just be rejected Saviors songs, and maybe that's what this is -- but it's a very strong one IMO. With Holy Toledo, Saviors and these new tracks it feels like the guys have really found their footing again, with a sound that's still *new* Green Day but with enough of what we love left in. 

I've spoken a few times about how Saviors feels like a taste of all their previous albums: I feel like this one could have easily sat somewhere on Saviors as the trilogy inspired track.

I think it has Longshot vibes too, both the music and the melancholy message it’s giving Chasing A Ghost and Happiness.

Loving Ballyhoo, like it better than Smash It Like Belisha I think.

Ballyhoo is a banger! Would have loved it on the album. Or another album like this! I’m just here for the trilogy vibes haha

I do like Ballyhoo a lot better than Smash It Like Belushi (though I like Smash It Like Belushi too), but I am not quite sure it is on the same level as the rest of Saviors. Saviors is just so amazing that I can see why these songs didn't make the final cut.

I like the "no hard feelings" part of the song, that's a very sentiment to be shared in song form.   Usually in Rock, everything's either antagonist, horny, sad or all of the above, lol.  

Also, who else is singing about Lolygagging in a sleeping bag?   I bet Billie's been glamping recently and he was uh....up to no good in there.    Point for originality, I think Green Day are heading in a good direction.   It's really cool that the Saviors era is being explored to it's fullest potential.    More singles, more videos, more random publicity thingies.      I passed a 7-11 just now and thought "should I go in and check out the Punk Bunny Merch, or should I have a midlife crisis in the parking lot?   Or both, perhaps?

I think this song could be a good fit in FOAM, cuz I feel this is a song about dealing with fame and being a public figure. Is a good and catchy song, hope they can play it

I dunno, for me, I liked Smash Like Belushi a lil’ more than Ballyhoo. I would trade Susie Chapstick for Smash It Like Belushi (controversial opinion time folks)

[That Dude]

I prefer these deluxe editions to a throw away EP, and I have a feeling that's what Green Day are thinking as well.   Why put out an EP that nobody's going to pay any attention to when you could do a few more songs and do a full on album cycle.       These bonus tracks are a lot like 1972 in that way.     Remember all the hype - "Green Day have 6 songs, aaaaagh!"     But this time, it's adding to the album, giving us fan a more satisfying conclusion to the Saviors era, may it continue so far that it overlaps into - and yeah, I don't leave without doing it-  ALBUM 15 ERA, oh yeah!!!!!

My thoughts on Ballyhoo:

First listen: Meh, don’t know…

Second listen: Hm, wait, maybe…

Third listen: YES! Love it!!!

And even if it was recorded about six months ago, I think it was written at the same time as the Saviors songs, covering similar topics as Dilemma and Goodnight Adeline.

[Insomniac186]

I hear a lot of Plimsouls influence on Ballyhoo. I like it.

I have to give it a second and third listen then

I need to hear it a few more times but Ballyhoo is just fine for me. I like it better than Smash It Like Belushi but I can't really recall the song itself. I don't think it's anything amazing. It's just fine. I'm really getting post-FOAM vibes from these songs in terms of it's a bunch of songs that are fine.

Ballyhoo is somewhat kinda The KKK Took My Baby Away from the Ramones
