Green Day's New Album Feels Different | Saviors 

How are we feeling about Saviors? It’s the best album since ________

This album feels that it has a song for every type of green day fan, imo it's an all killer no filler

I wish that Revolution Radio would get more love. I rarely hear people talking about it in a very positive light. It's one of my personal favourites

I actually think Green Day has been in top form on every album they've ever released, besides Father of All... of course Even so-called "failures" like Warning and the trilogy have lots of very memorable songs I've played on repeat many times before

Am I the only one who genuinely enjoys every single album buy them 😭😭

Hey rev rad was amazing, the energy was perfect.

I mean, Rev Radio had tre's awesome drum takes. He even played a solo in bang bang. I like this album for sure. It stands out among their recent works. But Revolution Radio is top tier.

Sounds like a mix of all different eras of Green Day, they haven’t sounded this good in years, my top songs are strange days, Dilemma, 1981, corvette summer, living in the 20s, fancy sauce, look ma no brains

You actually summed up this album pretty well. For me, the production quality is easily the best since 21st CB I very much noticed how great tre’s drums sound at times and Mike’s bass has some excellent parts as well and all the instruments are given their time to shine. The vocals, too, are incredible throughout - exceptionally so. I do think one issue that I agree with is that the lyrics aren’t particularly impressive most of the time. There’s a line or two that I’ll catch and be like “ah clever” but peculiarly there wasn’t a single song that I resonated with personally on an emotional level like I typically do with green day’s music. The closest I probably got was with “Dilemma” but that was about it I think. I also unfortunately think this is one of the least “creative” green day albums ever made but I don’t know that that’s even necessarily a bad thing. I just think it feels like they’re trying to play it safe and it comes across to me with a lot of the songs, that they’re supposed to be “stadium pop punk” songs meant to be played live for a good time and that’s really it. Overall it’s a really solid album and I like it. Easily the best since 21CB like I said.

this album feels like what Muse wanted to do with "Will of the People" but done right. You can hear every era of Green Day in every song. There is excellence in every track, some through lyrics, some through melody and some through pure skill and musicianship on display, that's why I can't find a true favorite track, so many of them stick out to me and right when i say "ok this might be my new favorite out of the record", the next one comes out and says "hold up, hear this". There's truly something for everyone in this album and that's its biggest accomplishment in my opinion.

I really like Revolution Radio. But I agree that Saviour is great. It will do well.

Possible Hot Take…. I think Revolution Radio is their most underrated release. Even more than Warning. Also went and watched a couple of your vids after discovering this. Dig the channel man!

I wasn't very hyped for this release, to be honest I haven't been hyped for a release since 21st Century Breakdown, imo that was the last complete release from green day that I can say I thoroughly enjoyed as a complete body of work. I did admire their little popup shows that they did prior to this, and I think that that is something that still pulls me into this band after a series of continuous pretty mid releases. what they did prior to this with the shows remind me of what they did with 21st Century Breakdown, if memory serves me right they did the same pop up stuff for that album. saviors is a fairly diverse album and it hits a lot of different tracks and vibes, everything from upbeat pop punk stuff like the american dream is killing me and 1981 to more slow ballads such as goodnight adeline and father to son. my main gripe with this album is that some of it feels like their stepping into their own tracks in the snow, with songs like the american dream is killing me sounding very reminiscent of east jesus nowhere. i wouldn't say specifically that the majority of the album is forgettable, maybe in a certain sense right, but to me it just seems to me like they have a sound for the band and a certain mixing style and songwriting style that i've already heard countless times. personally, and i know that i'm in the minority with my opinion, but father of all wasn't actually that bad. in totality like it's not their best piece of work, but i'd much rather hear something that sounds like their stepping out of their shell and experimenting with their sound rather than just releasing the same album over and over, which unfortunately is where saviors falls for me. thinking about the rumored drama behind the scenes with father of all and them just shitting out an album to get out of their deal (which i'm not sure is true seeing as how saviors was released under reprise) it seems to me like everyone shit on them when they were testing the waters trying to do something different and fell back into their old shoes. saviors is a strong 6 to a light 7. favorite songs: one eyed bastard, dilemma, the american dream is killing me, strange days are here to stay least fav: corvette summer, suzie chapstick " i got a robot and i'm fucking it senseless " - billie joe armstrong

I love everything single record they’ve ever made!!!

FANTASTIC ALBUM. There is (and always has been) such energy and brightness in their music with relatable messages and feelings in their lyrics. Great punk, rock, and pop mix and I love the throw back titles such as Corvette Summer and Suzie Chapstick.

I'm a Green Day fan since "Dookie" but haven't bought their last few albums. Just father time and me not buying much music anymore, but this is one I bought. I hadn't been paying attention to any of the buildup for a new album so this one sort of came out of the blue for me and that was a good thing. I put it on and did the whole complete listen-through that you would do pre-internet and I honestly didn't think there was a weak song on it. Of course I have favorites and songs that probably will be skipped in the future, but this feels a lot like early Green Day to me. Even the album cover is nostalgic and reminiscent of "Warning".

I just realized this is the second ever album that I have listened to in its entirety (First was American Idiot) 8/10 No fillers imo

I think my hot take for the post 21cb green day is that the trilogy itself was an interesting concept and a look into their songwriting process. If you take the best songs of each trilogy album you would get one of their best albums consisting of probably some of the following songs: - oh love - kill the dj - let yourself go - carpe diem - lazy bones - stray heart - stop when the red lights flash - xkid - amanda or walk away - 99 revolutions - dirty rotten bastards - the forgotten This wouldve been a really good album and probably less forgettable due to less "filler" than the rest of the trilogy.

21st Century Breakdown is the most criminally underrated Green Day album

I loved this album!!! Coming from a Revolution Radio fan (is that really an unpopular opinion? It was good!), this album had a similar vibe to me but also with elements from all their other albums. I agree with the production, it sounded great. Not my favorite album, but overall really darn good.

I do believe that production-wise this album rocks. The bass sound is the difference you almost immediately notice between this album and the previous ones. Concerning the songs: I was hyped before the release, and I listened to the album from start to finish when it came out. My first comment, and I still stand by it, was that there are no memorable songs, but they all blend well together to give a feeling almost of a last ever Green Day album. What I mean is, there are a lot of songs that remind different eras of the band, and in the end you almost feel nostalgic because it's like you went through all of their discography in 45 minutes. I too find myself sort of "disappointed" in the blandness of some choruses and even some verses (for example the title track: when the song started I was immediately hooked, but it felt like I had waited for the "good part" for 4 minutes in the end). Exceptions: Father to a son is very memorable and perfectly orchestrated, and it's the highlight for the album in my personal opinion. That said, I am an easy to please fan too, so I'll listen to this album a lot in the next months, and it will surely grow on me. For me it's an overall 7,5/10

If you think of FOA all as a Foxboro Hot tubs album its almost kinda good and the cheesy classic rock aspects make more sense

Wasn't FOATMF a last for the record company? This explains why it was so poor. They just didn't care.

This album has a bit of everything. Its it’s probably top 5 in the way it sounds. Probably 5th behind nimrod, ai, 21cb and dookie. When it comes down to it it’s a no skips album and some of the best stuff since ai and 21cb Lyrics are meh on a few songs but Billie isn’t gonna write a rock opera or a dookie again. I believe he can do it, but as an artiest you have to do what is fulfilling for yourself. He’s playing around with his vocals as well and the whole band has evolved in a positive way overall I feel.

It feels like some of their older stuff, hence the reason as to why I’ve been listening to this album on repeat

I agree with the part that you can hear all three instruments, im pleased to feel the bass again. Coma city is my absolute fav on this album

Best review I've seen yet!

I don't like how 21CB gets completely overlooked and people just say that their post-AI albums are shit when that album is such a gem. (Idk if your inclusion of 21CB at 0:13 is because you think it's not as good or because that's what its reputation is due to being a post-AI release) It's my favourite album and I think a lot of these people who think Saviors is their first good album since 21CB don't get that they would be saying that about 21CB if it wasn't the follow up to AI and had those huge unrealistic expectations. A lot of Saviors really feels like it was inspired by 21CB like TADIKM, the title track, Living in the 20s, Coma City. These all sound like they're straight from this album and Billie's vocals probably sounds closer to 21CB than any of their other albums, even though both albums had different producers Regardless I'm still really enjoying Saviors. I think it is their best since 21CB but the trilogy has a lot of superb tracks throughout even if it's mixed with a lot of meh tracks

This album is so freaking amazing and Coma City is my favorite song of the moment. It's incredible.

I love this album so much it’s truly a huge win for Greenday fans on first listen I was honestly blown away because it’s been so long since I’ve felt this strongly about one of there records

Saviors is my fav since Insomniac.

You have the best take on Saviors ive seen so far. Love the album.

Rev Radio and 21st CDB are great Trilogy and FOAMF I agree. Saviors still the best since AI

Good to see you in video 😊 nice review.

Revolution Radio is probably their second or third best album. Forever Now is one of their best songs. I do not agree with the 20 year lacking streak, given Revolution Radio, which is excellent through and through, exists

It feels and sounds like an album released straight after American idiot. No trilogy, no rock opera just great songs track after track. I love this album and I think it’s the second best album they have made this side of 2000. Great work!

I love Father of All. It’s just…. different and I appreciated them wanting to switch it up. It’s not their best but I still think it’s a solid album. The first 3 songs, especially, are total jams. I haven’t disliked a single album, by GD although I think the trilogy could and should have been condensed into one epic, maybe 18-20 song, album. Saviors is another masterpiece from them, imo. Not a skip on it. Dilemma, Goodnight Adeline & Corvette Summer, Look Ma, No Brain's and Living in the 20s current top 5.

This is probably one of their best at least in my opinion. Way better than father of all in fact I think that was their worst. But this is top notch old school Green Day I love it

This album was a triumph for Green Day. Loved it, 8.5/10

100% agree about Coma City. I wish I had a version of that song with every “Coma City” edited out. Great album though, I’ve probably listened to it 2-3 times each day since it came out

i was thinking the same thing about the lyrics. for example bobby sox lyrics go "do you wanna be my girlfriend/boyfriend?" for half the song (i really love bobby sox, i'm not hating on it, this is just my way of seeing things). i don't blame them, they've put out 14 albums so ideas must run out after a while, but you can't say that the lyrical side of saviors is amazing.

I haven't liked this band since insomniac. This album brings back the old school sounds back. Awesome stuff

I agree with you, but I don’t know how you can talk down on revolution radio, as a Green Day fan. You have great opinions even the ones I don’t agree with. Other than the song, “Say Goodbye,” revolution radio was great all around on my opinion. It’s what we needed after the trilogy, just like this is what we needed after everything since breakdown. This quality is better than rev rad, but rev rad was catchier in some ways. Idk. I could just listen to that album all the time front to back. Father of all, definitely not!

I loved 21st Century Breakdown, the trilogy has some solid cuts & could probably be condensed into one solid record if you grabbed the greatest hits from the three records, Rev Rad has some of my all time Green Day tracks. Father of All was a fun record but ultimately it’s lesser in quality in a lot of ways. Saviors? I think the title is self explanatory. Say what you might about the lyrics on (X) track but the instrumentals are punchy, heartfelt & loaded with the identity of each member. From Mike Dirnt’s dirty bass to Tre Cool’s pounding drums, BJ’s guitar, it’s all incredible & authentically Green Day. I enjoyed this record way more than some of their work for sure, & I can’t wait to listen to it again & again.

Revolution Radio and 21st Century Breakdown are amazing and memorable albums🖕

Coma city and goodnight adeline are my favourites

RevRad is one of my top 5 albums, probably behind saviors

good take. i haven't kept up with green day over the years. started doing reviews myself and checked this out. i thought it was okay. they leaned into the nostalgia a bit and that's okay. some of the lyrics yeah they don't sound the best. but overall an enjoyable album,

I loved father of all and the trilogy. Itsy favourite green day sound really

This album is a return to form

I love all Green Day this album is a banger

After a few listens I like 4 tracks on the album. The rest just don't hit me in a way that makes me want to go back and listen over and over. Time will tell if it continues to grow on me. But, it feels like an album made to push a couple singles and the rest is generic filler to take up time.

0:56 revolution radio forgettable???? Bang Bang hello??? Lmao but unfortunately it feels like the album slipped under the radar

2:02 at this section u should’ve mention the melon name man

I'm still in disbelief that it has been 20 years since AI...21CBD was good too, and I tend to listen to it immediately after listening to AI...on first listen, I think this is the clear winner for adding to that as a third chapter.

I like Saviors. Took me a multiple listens to like most songs, just like it took me a multiple listens to like the songs that were released early (Dilemma being an exception, loved that from the first listen). The lyrics on this album though, I do not like. Very plain and lacking in the depth we’ve come to expect from Billie’s songwriting. Especially putting it up against the lyrical masterpiece that is American Idiot (the album, not the song). What’s wrong with RevRad though? That was a pretty decent album IMO, Bang Bang is my favorite Green Day songs in years

I find it strange that as Billie has gotten older his voice has gotten higher in pitch. He sang lower (tuned to E flat) in the 90’s… usually when a vocalist gets into their 40’s-50’s their register drops. I like it still, but I miss the 90’s Green Day sound and style so much.

I'm not proud of how hard I laughed at "Mike Dirnt farting into a microphone for 30 minutes" This album is really great though, I've had it on repeat since it came out. My top five songs would have to be Dilemma, Bobby Sox, Living in the '20s, One Eyed Bastard and Goodnight Adaline.

imo Saviors is 1000% better than father of all

ever since they released the trilogy, they keep going for this garage-rock sound that doesnt have the intensity of earlier albums. the guitars always seem a little tingy and the drums arent smacking as hard. i dont understand this direction, it makes all of the songs suffer a little bit.

To me it’s the same but different if that makes sense.

Tbh the trilogy, Revolution radio, 21cb are great. 21 cb is actally better than saviours. The trilogy has a lot of memorable parts. Like 90 percent. I eould say saviours is 100 percent better than foamf though. Trilogy had a great sound for production. The lyrics for Bobby sox are really personal to hos veiw in acceptabce of dating who you want to.

Post American Idiot album I feel Green Day came out with some great albums, primarily being 21st Century Breakdown. That's an amazing album! Revolution Radio, comes after that in my opinion. Trilogy is next, some songs are great and some of them could have gone through some quality control. Father of all had some nice songs but it was not memorable. Saviors is genuinely a comeback and although there are 3-4 songs that I don't like that much but it's still better than Father of All and the Trilogy.

Idk why but it kinda feels inspired by Nirvana, like there's more screaming in their songs, they suddenly decide to rip a song off, it's more guitar driven and shit.

I actually like Father of All… I still listen to Sugar Youth and Take the Money from time to time.

Production-wise this album sounds fantastic. I personally thought rev rad was a great album but the production of that one always sounded a bit off.

It sounds better coz rob carvallho produced and mixed it,Tres drums on every track is mega,Corvette summer is the stand out for me👍👍

Green Day has been my favorite band and biggest inspiration when it comes to music. This album to me so far has been meh. I mostly hear a rehashing of what they've done before, and lyrically it's a weak and formulaic. I still believe that Dilemma is the best song on the album and the subject matter is really good. As a musician I feel like this is a love song to the bands they have been listening to or grew up with. It almost feels like they lost the, "eye of the tiger" and life is too good to have anything to write about. I don't hear a lot of Green Day on this album. Notable tracks for me: Dilemma, Good Night Adeline, Father to Son (didn't pay off, but still decent, chorus too repetitive), Fancy sauce, strange days. I absolutely hate Suzie Chapstick with a passion. It sounds like Green Day is covering a Cardigans song. I'll keep listening and see what grows on me but I was hoping for more Green Day.

I love when you said squint with your ears. That made me laugh out loud 🤣

Ive struggled to get into this album. I cant quite put my finger on why. None of the songs have stood out much to me.

how dare you put 21st century breakdown on the "shaky path" that's the best green day album

The album probably sounds good because there are 4-5 songs directly stealing melodies and chord progressions from other known songs

FOAMF is definitely overhated, but yes Saviors is infinitely better than it.

THANK YOU! 0/10 is completely unfair for that album. A 5 or 6 would be fair, I give it a 7. Saviors is a 9.5 for me 🔥

Revolution Radio is better than 21st Century Breakdown and it's not even close. Sorry but I'll take a conventional collection of rock songs that succede at being fun and/or tugging at the heart strings, over an ambitious yet kinda bland rock opera any day.

Sorry. Father of All is the worst album released by a major artist - ever. Saviors puts them back in a better position, but its an obvious attempt to recapture their glory days. They've stopped evolving, and the new album could have easily have come after Warning in their catalog. Sounds redundant, but its not a sh*tty pop sandwich like Father of All....

Yeah the terrible album art for foam definitely has a psychological effect

I never liked Fantano anyway. Pop punk rules

A few of the songs are quite good but the preachy sanctimonious messaging about the evils of the American Dream, capitalism, and over the top establishment wokeism gets very tedious.

After insomniac it was all downhill………
