Green Day Band • Page 200

The best trilogy songs are on Demolicious.

 

Was unaware of this release. Queued up for my upcoming hour long drive shortly.

 

After now having finished my trilogy run through, this sticks out as the main track that I really disliked.

 

Nightlife is just a fun oddity of their discography. I have fond memories of singing along to it back in 2013.

 

I am kicking myself for not getting tickets and going to this. It looked like a great time

 

if i were going to pick a worst green day song (of which there are at least 10 valid contenders hahaha) oh yeah is the one that irks me the most. just absolutely zero effort in that thing whatsoever

 

If you read the Apple Music album descriptions for the trilogy and every album after, you see that for every album it says the band is finally freed of the previous restrictive gimmick/focus and they are now ready to return to the basics of their early days. If your last 7 albums are framed as a needed reset, you might be treading some murky late career waters.

(I think Saviors does come closest to being a solid reset)

 

RevRad and Saviors are both great.

 

I still think Saviors is good, but I was way bigger on it before I heard the recent Pinhead Gunpowder album and realised that that is what I want current Green Day to actually sound like

 

this is really cool and heartfelt

 

Same. It feels like the pressure and stakes of an album being a GREEN DAY record prevents it from being a looser, smaller record like the Pinhead album. But, to me, that album is more fun and scratches the classic Green Day itch more than anything, with Saviors coming closest.

 

I have never made it through that Pinhead album. I should add that to my try again pile.

 

I’m surprised. I think the most recent PG album is a blast and would appeal to anyone who liked earlier Green Day stuff

 

It just sounds like Saviors b-sides for the most part, and oddly sounds nothing like Pinhead Gunpowder has before

 

Don’t think I could disagree with both of those statements any more lol

 

I think Saviors is a BETTER record…

…but I think I enjoy Rev Rad more.

I can’t square it in my brain beyond the opening and closing suites, particularly Forever Now which I will go to the fucking mat for as a top 10 Green Day song.

 

I like the genre/sound of Rev Radio but I just don’t really dig the songs themselves and some of the production effects added. Saviors is still kinda not exactly what I like as a Green Day fan but I think those songs are better to me and there are significant stretches where they recapture some Nimrod-era magic.

 

Saviors is sooooo good

 

And it sounds so good mix/production wise. No frills but pretty flawless for a modern rock album.

 

no frills, no features, no trap beats, 100% pure uncut rock

 

No Swedish songwriters.

 

No band as far into their career as Green Day have any right to release anything as preposterously charming as "Bobbie Sox.'
