Green Day - Saviors (January 19th, 2024) • Page 10

Since 21st was my first, maybe uno dos should be my second

 

I loved 21CB to death, it's epic and full of great songs. Buuuuuuut it's one of my least favorite records in their discography, because the rest is just that good.

 

Yes, yes it is

 

I can name at least five that are wayyyyyyyyy worse tho.

 

Looking at the math ...

4 out of 13 studio albums being absolute dogshit leads to 30% of their entire catalog being virtually unplayable. And those first two records I barely ever come back to. They do have 5 incredible albums though. Makes up for a lot. (And 21CB is way above those 4.)

 

Which ones are dogshit

 

Oh I thought you were saying it's not full of great songs

Nevermind me reading is hard

 

There is no way the trilogy is unplayable, just a little too much of the same style.

 

I've made it through it a few times, but it sure wasn't enjoyable. And I wouldn't put a single song above anything from Dookie-AI, probably 21 if we're being honest. But this is well trodden territory. I think those albums and FOAM are absolute trash.

 

There's definitely trilogy songs that are are Green Day A-List:

99 Revolutions
Stop When The Red Lights Flash
Ashley
Stay The Night
Let Yourself Go
Angel Blue
Walk Away
X-Kid
Brutal Love
Nuclear Family
Makeout Party
Wow That's Loud
Dirty Rotten Bastards

 

I still want to know which albums are dogshit

 

I'm glad someone like them, but not a single one of those songs would be anywhere near my A-list. And quite a few of them I think are truly awful. "Makeout Party" may be one of the worst songs ever written.

 

See, now I feel like you're just trying to rile me up!

 

I'm going to listen to the trilogy for the first time in years soon, definitely going to at least attempt to make a list of what I like. I know I actually love Oh Love, but I don't even remember any of the other songs at all

 

Drinking angel’s piss, gonna crash and burn.

 

That's a good line from a very good song.

 

Why do you do this.

 

Because they said some albums were dogshit and I've only heard one album so I want to know which ones so I can avoid them! Also, they were the ones who said it, not me!

I don't understand why this is so hard.

 

Listen to them all and make your own decision.

 

ALL OF THEM?!?!

I don't have that much time. That's like watching all of One Piece but in musical equivalency.

 

If you liked 21CB, the most similar sounding albums would be American Idiot and Revolution Radio. But I'd highly encourage to make your way through their entire discography because it's excellent imo.

 

Oh my god, these guys never stop. That's so much content.

 

Thanks for the suggestions!

I didn't grow up with Blink, Green Day or any of the other big ones at the time even though it was very much my era so I'm trying to play catch up.
