Green Day return to form BIG TIME! What's everyone thinking of SAVIORS??
2000 Likes on the review = UPDATED Green Day Albums Ranking 👍
I also wanted to pin this since I'm sure some of you are confused by me saying "no more scripted reviews". I've been doing those for so long, you may have noticed I pivoted from straight up "review" content a few years ago.
I will continue to cover music here on ARTV in the form of Rankings, SOS, Tier Lists, Commentaries, and yeah, even some review content with Rock/Pop Gone Wrong! Appreciate all of the love and support, be sure to subscribe to Beyond ARTV to see all of my UNSCRIPTED vids, including some reviews of current albums. www.youtube.com/@BeyondARTV
HOLY TOLEDO! 2000 likes goal obliterated in 12 hours! Y’all are insane, I love it and I’m grateful for the outpouring of support on this review. Consider GD ranked offically in the works, will aim for late February or March!
Yeah this one was a VERY pleasant surprise. I think this was the perfect Green Day record for 2024. I think Id agree with your assessment for the rating too. All in all just a great start for 2024 music
Are you on Facebook?
The second I heard American Dream I said to myself… this will be their 3rd blast to the moon! Amazing record and agreed… it’s a no skip record. I was at Irving Plaza for release of the record and was happy to hear that some of the songs are sped up live… I’ve always said Green Day is a nice band. One Eyed Bastard live is kick ass!
@@tomsklanka9436 not anymore. Used to have a page for ARTV but it's been inactive for years now
The build up, the album, the promo, the interviews, the music videos involving fans, the small shows, the tour, this is simply peak Green Day. It feels amazing that we are so back...now if we just couid get a tour date in Florida haha
That’s what I’m saying! I would do anything for a show date in Florida.
@@rtgredtruck3059 fingers crossed for a second leg of the tour!
@@Hcatz123 Yes! And hopefully they also play AI and Dookie in its entirety for those shows as well.
@@Hcatz123 fingers crossed that the next leg is an arena tour instead of a stadium tour too.
Lmao I wonder why they aren’t playing in Florida, it’s almost like a dirty fascist runs it 😂
I feel like Saviors proved that Green Day, despite being around for so long, still have it in them to make some absolute bangers. This is easily my favourite of their albums since 21CB.
Yes
Same
The drums and cowbell on corvette summer is so intoxicatingly good. This album slaps
NEEDS MORE COWBELL
Slaps what? Or is that one of the new age phrases
@@imthegrinchthatstolechrist4384 yes it a new saying it means it hits hard. Very good etc
@@joefayant8470 sounds like shit to me
@@imthegrinchthatstolechrist4384 okay grinch
I can't wait to drive around this summer with Corvette Summer blasting out of car speakers. Such a good vibes song
As a Green Day super fan, I’ve gotta say this is their best album in about 15 years (even though Rev Rad was also a master piece). Every song has a different feel to it and makes it more of an experience. From The American Dream Is Killing Me to Bobby Sox to Goodnight Adeline to Corvette Summer to Living In The 20s and then right into Father To A Son, all these songs which are very different in their own way go together and create this masterpiece of an album.
Nice to see some love for revolution radio!
@tedsmith1641 for reals man I really loved the album when I heard it and was really suprised to see the like well for lack of a better term hate and disappointment with it cause I thought it was great
I personally think revolution radio is their most underrated album by a country mile.
I agree RR was perfect, i liked it more than 21stCB 😂😮
Doesn’t hold a candle to 21st century breakdown
Them playing Dookie and AI in full is what pushed me to buy tickets. But Saviors... THAT is what I'm psyched to hear.
They are clearly so excited about this album, which makes me beyond excited to hear these songs live. I cannot wait to hear Dilemma, Bobby Sox, and, if I'm lucky, Goodnight Adeline.
The last one is so powerful, comparing the struggle with drinking to that of a toxic relationship. It also made me nostalgic because I used to own clothing from Billie's Adeline Street brand (it's what I wore to my first GD show ever :')).
I am proud of these guys and proud to call myself a fan 💚
Thats why I bought tickets too. I cannot pass that up, playing dookie and AI in full! 😊
Dude I’m so pumped for this concert to not only hear my faves from dookie and American idiot but to also hear some new faves too! This will be a great tour I’m sure
The stretch from "Letterbomb" all the way to "Whatsername" is going to be fucking INCREDIBLE live, I can't wait!!!
I've been humming and singing these songs to myself all day at work since the album dropped. So good.
Corvette summer and Susie chapstick are one of my favorites
Same!
Ditto
Nah trash album
Suzie Chapstick rocks
Been looking forward to your Saviors review as I listened to the album all weekend long! Glad to hear you love it as much as I do!
I feel like I'm the only person on this spinning ball ofndirt that really enjoyed Father of All Motherfuckers. It has variety and I love it.
A good Green Day album with variety is Nimrod. FOAMF was utter shite
@JacobScott-xu3qj well that's your opinion, so...
@@mama.bear.007What is your favorite song off of Father of All?
@StoneColdSteveAutism95 I really like Graffitia, I was a Teenage Teenager, Meet Me on the Rooftop. Sometimes, I'm just hearing some feel good. catchy, easy listening tunes are good once in a while.
@@mama.bear.007 My favorite is Meet Me on the Roof, and Sugar Youth is also pretty good
I love this review and I’m so happy Saviors is getting so much praise. I’m with you on Dilemma I absolutely love that song. I also had the same thought process with Bobby Sox, at first listen I wasn’t totally sure but then after several more listens and the music video it’s one of my top five favorites from the album
I really liked Bobby Sox the first time I heard it
It was totally worth the wait!! I've been so hyped up for this ever since the 1972 teasers in 2021-2022!!! I noticed there's one song from a teaser that didn't make it to the album, from the "Play this sound for your dog" teaser.
We've been waiting for your review, man 😎
I'm happy the cover and font choices are on point this time. I wouldn't be embarrassed to leave this out
I’ve been waiting on this video!!💚 Green Day wouldn’t be Green Day without ARTV content. Much love man. Been watching for years and years. I’m 22 currently. Your TH-cam channel, was part of my formula for growing up. Thanks for the years of
Work dude!!
🖤
@@ARTV- 💚🥹 I can’t believe you responded.
Excellent review. It's wonderful.
Well said. I couldn't agree more. Great review man
Great review dude ! I love this record ❤
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.
11:09 "you divisive sack of birdshit" Jon cooked so hard he set the kitchen on fire 😭🤣
@@craigros5 Musk thought he was being "funny" and "outspoken" by talking shit about Green Day on Twitter after they changed the American Idiot lyrics to "i'm not a part of the MAGA agenda" on their NYE performance, causing a shitstorm of MAGA lunatics, bots and other Elon yes men to give their useless two cents on it. other than that, Musk is just a garbage human being in general, spreading conspiracy theories, whining 24/7 about supposed "wOkEnEsS", being a big self-absorbed manbaby, etc
I'm glad to see that your last scripted review at this time was for an album you loved from a band you clearly love!
It's been a great journey in getting to view all your scripted reviews from the past, but I'm supportive of the new format over at Beyond ARTV and I'm hoping that it fits well for you too!
4:25 I think this is Mike’s best studio work.
The sound is punctuated perfectly in the mix.
I would say that Dookie and Insomniac contain his freshest Bass work, but the tone in this album is super thick, even when it’s just pulsing 8th notes.
@@ElliYeetYT For real, Insomniac is Mikes best record by far in my opinion. In general Insomniac is sooo underrated
I was waiting for this review from you!! I love this album and I agree that Dilemma is the best song on the album! I love it so much!!
So happy to finally see this review posted! Love your videos man!
Great review. Thanks.
Wow Jon! The end of several eras and the beginning of new ones! Great review! While I don't think I like these as much as RevRad's songs, the production this time around is top notch and easily the best sounding record since 21st Century Breakdown. Also it's great to hear Mike go full Dookie on the bass again. Song wise I cannot personally get enough of Goodnight Adeline, Coma City and Strange Days, 1981 as well as all the singles, hell, I may as well list the whole damn album at this point. A great comeback record for one of the best bands in the world. I don't know what I'd do without these guys, honestly.
Agreed.. Revolution Radios songs are absolutely better.. but the production is top tier on this record.. it makes every mid song sound good
@@darbs3168 my thoughts exactly! What's your favorite song so far?
I only know I went through the album, far in the background in a party and I still found myself saying how much I loved each songs as the record progressed, I'm gonna give it a listen on my own right now
I love Bobby sox like it just reminds me of hanging with my friends in like a really nice nostalgic way
I knew this album was going to be good when they posted the snippets on youtube. I can't wait for these songs to be played live. My favorite is Suzie Chapstick
I thought this album was mixed for me 🤷♂️ like 3.5 out of 5 stars, or 7-ish out of 10 stars. Definitely 100% a must-listen if you’re a Green Day fan but overall I don’t think it’s that great. Some of the songs are too repetitive for my taste (like “1981”) and some of the songs I haven’t really found that memorable (like “Living in the 20s” or “Fancy Sauce” that I remember almost nothing about even though I’ve listened to the full album twice so far.)
Yes! My favorite band and hometown heroes have done it again. This album is fantastic. The songs are immensely catchy and the production is the best they've had in years. I understand anyone who says the lyrics are a bit cheesy at times but it doesn't detract from the album for me. There are other albums I've enjoyed more this month but I would be shocked if this album doesn't stick with me throughout the year.
I so wanted them to retitle this album, American Idiot Part 2.
The more time I’m spending with this one, the more I view it as one of the band’s best. It’s their best album since 21st Century Breakdown for me. Maybe even since American Idiot. I think none of these 15 tracks are skips and I consider them all consistently good to great. Even the ones lower down like One Eyed Bastard and Living in the 20s I still find very enjoyable. Plus Dilemma and Father to a Son are instant classics and among their best songs to date. Particularly the latter
Their best album since American Idiot. HANDS DOWN. They have matured so much in terms of songwriting and instrument-playing. The lyrics are so up-to-date. Also, is it just me, or has Billie's voice aged like wine?
In my opinion his voice makes half the songs sound like a musical number from an episode of Phineas And Ferb
@@Dylan-Frostdo you mean that as a good thing or band thing? Because phineas and ferb music is amazing
@@user-py3py5sx2f depends if you like the show or not. All I can say is it sounds nothing like what they made in the 90s
@@Dylan-Frost I mean if you were expecting a 50 year old man to sound like his 20 year old self in the 90s I don't know what to tell ya
It's the album I've been waiting 20 years for!!!
Awesome video, Saviors rules!
When I first heard TADIKM, I could tell this was going to be different. It felt like a creative, but still mature evolution of their sound. I haven’t listen to the entire record yet but I hope to eventually.
Fancy sauce is a proper ending and its almost like it went full circle towards thier thoughts and feelings they had in the beginning of thier career which is full circle
Im Obsessed with saviors its sooo amazing!!!!! definitely one of their best! and YESS Dilema is my favorite song!!!!
I honestly don't get how someone can like this album (coming from a huge Green Day fan btw). What do any of the songs on this album do that other songs on their albums don't do?
You don’t get how someone can like the album? Go outside 🫣 you’re entitled to your opinion, but why does everyone else have to be “wrong” lmao
@@ARTV- why are you so upset? I legit don't understand what there is to like about this album that you can't just put on another Green Day and get the same thing or better. You could just try to explain instead of trying to extrapolate meaning that isnt there. I am not saying anybody is "wrong, just that I don't " get it".
@@ARTV-He never said you were wrong bro, chill out. Lol. Why are you so defensive?
I completely agree with you @Rumham7291. Everything I've heard is just really really mid from the album. Although that being said, I think Dilemma is the best track so far. Almost every song just sounds like stuff they've already done before, and it's kind of forgettable for the most part. Not trying to hate, it's just lower mid tier for me
Okay so I’m not the only one 😂 yeah this whole album is VERY mid imo. As a kid I was a HUGE fan of this band, and I still am of everything up to pretty much the trilogy or RevRad, but after that I haven’t heard anything mildly impressive really that brings me back for multiple listens.
You have a new subscriber in germany, GD forever! ❤
I really like the new Green Day album and I am so excited to see them in June with my mom, who introduced me to their stuff so many years ago 🖤🖤
8:42 Actually, they perform One Eyed Bastard too fast live 😅 it sound far less dark and angry when it’s played that fast.
I think they’ll find a good balance, they just started playing it
I loved that sideswipe at the human rat at 11:00
I listened to the album a bunch of times but would always get cut short and never make it to the last song. Then one day I let it roll and damn, Fancy Sauce is my favorite song on the album and a perfect way to end it. Such a powerful anthem that rings so true. We all die young, someday. We probably won't see another album like this.
Been obsessed and non stop listening to Dilemma since the literal minute it was released, glad to hear its not just me!
Excited to have the boys back to doing what they do best. I like every song on this record, with the exception of One Eyed Bastard. Just can't get into that one, probably because the opening riff is just "So What" by P!nk which uhh, lets say isn't my favorite P!nk song lol. But otherwise, I'm all in. Money Money 2020 Pt. 2 showed me that the boys can still write bangers, and they pulled them out on this, we're so back
Missed u Jon :DDD
Dilemma and Father To A Son are the big highlights of the album to me.
Even if someone isn’t convinced into liking/loving the album, the production and sound of the album is downright impressive. Rob Cavallo is back in form.
That’s what I noticed the most too, this album sounds great
Those are the 2 big highlights for me. Father to a Son is SO GOOD!
These two are my favourites along with Living in the 20s
The production sucks though
Also my favorite song on the album was Suzie Chapstick. Just reminded me of my son’s father and a few people I’ve dated 💕it made me cry
I could make an essay of a comment but we both don’t have time for that. I really like the album, and it’s grown on me as my first listen (at the record store preview) was mixed. I even listen to the songs I’m not a huge fan of (Bobby Sox and Corvette Summer and Fancy Sauce) because they either say something beautiful or make me want to hear it out. There is something in this album for every fan of any era and I really appreciate that. It made me appreciate some of their works that I didn’t like beforehand. Wow, I ended up writing an essay anyway. My fault
So happy you loved the album as much as I did. This was just such a rewarding and refreshing listen. Great review and I agree with pretty much every point you made.
I feel like living in the 20s is a copy of "Horseshoes and Handgrenades"
Copy? Nah. Spiritual successor? Hell yeah.
@@ARTV- yeah, obviously it's not a 100% copy. But personally I like horseshoes and handgrenades more
What part of it sounds h and h? To me it sounds exactly like oh yeah from foam
@@user-py3py5sx2f the main riff is almost similar
@@user-py3py5sx2f the main riff is almost similar
Album of the year easily! This album is very incredible and well worth the wait. The album that was supposed to be 1972, but named Saviors instead, well I say it's awesome 😎. Besides the singles, my favorites are 1981, Coma City, Father to a Son, Strange Days Are Here to Stay, Corvette Summer, and Livin' in the 20s.
I have not been very impressed by the released singles before the album dropped... and I checked out the album tracks released on YT and I have to say it's an interesting return to form... I think I could see myself enjoying this album overall.
The American Dream Is Killing Me is East Jesus Nowhere
Look Ma, No Brains is Maria
Bobby Sox is a slower When I Come Around
One Eyed Bastard is So What by Pink and The Passenger by Iggy Pop
That's all I could get through lol
Amazing
Will probably get it on CD
I haven't updated my CD catalog in like 4 years tho
I always knew this album would come out in 2024, since they tend to release new albums in presidential election years. Same as Father of All, Revolution Radio, and the trilogy. I've only listened to it twice so far, but I think it's by far the best album they've made since 21st Century Breakdown. I look forward to seeing them live this summer. Lots of new songs off Saviors, plus all of Dookie and American Idiot. Hard to imagine a better setlist. As for the 13th album curse, they're not the only band that's been subject to it. Around The Sun by R.E.M. comes to mind as another example.
The intro 😭😭
blown away by this album, on repeat since the second it dropped! definitely in the top half of their discography for me, what a comeback and well worth the wait 😍
I bought it on Friday when it came out. Got in from shopping and breakfast in Saturday morning and 'semi' accidentally listened to it 4 times in a row 😂. And that's not to mention me listening to my personal highlights on you tube numerous times as well.
Father To A Son is among my favorite Green Day songs
Sure you love 21 guns too 😂 the Taylor swift of greenday songs
@@Hallway47A song doesn't need to be manly and badass to be good, they can have emotional value too ya know.
I first found your channel with your review of UNO! when I was desperately looking for anything related to the new album I can find so it feels fitting that Saviors is potentially your last scripted album review! Can’t believe it’s been so long!
Thanks Jacob for all the tears!! Appreciated big time
@@ARTV- haha no worries! I am not going anywhere
@@jacobmacdonagh4070 lol, just noticed autocorrect put "tears" was supposed to be years!
@@ARTV-works both ways haha I appreciate it
I love how they can put out a POS like Father Of All, and most people would write them off but nope - they can still come back and show the world how it's meant to be done! Saviors is Green Day's best since 21CB for me. Dilemma is far and away their best song in YEARS, honestly in their top 5 of their whole catalogue tbh. I personally love Bobby Sox, can't wait to see it live and hear everyone shouting the chorus - that will go off!
I'll always love this band. Green Day, rage and love forever! ✊️❤
Father of All is the real masterpiece - no joke - give it another listen 😁
While I probably didn’t love this album as much as you did, I definitely think it’s very solid and a much needed improvement over Father of All… And as a Green Day fan, I’m just glad this showed they haven’t lost their charm as most would say in the past few years. Probably on par, if slightly above Revolution Radio for me.
Dilemma, Living in the 20s, and Father to a Son are easily the highlights on the album for me.
@gcolbyp yeah is better than father of all, but i dont think is better than revolution radio
@@SethWill07They’re both close to each other for me
Agree, on par with RevRad which was the last “good” album.
I was waiting for your review😊
that intro was so fire lmaoo
Yay I’ve been waiting for your review 💕 my fellow idiot and why I’ve loved your channel
Hey, random but I would love to see you do a new ranked video of RHCP albums!!
Goodnight Adeline reminds me of Don't Look Back In Anger
It's better than the last 3 or 4 albums, but that's not saying much. It's not even in the same universe as the first four or five albums, saying nothing of American Idiot, or even the live stuff like Bullet in a Bible.
Exactly. I feel like 99% of the fans have just forgotten how insanely good any of their albums from the 90s were, or how theatrical American idiot and 21st century breakdown were. This seems about in par with RevRad, which I would put it FoAMF and Saviors in the bottom 3 of all Green Day albums tbh.
it's so insane that a band this old can still slap it out the park when it comes to releasing music. The only reason it slaps is because all of these songs never lost the "Green Day" in it.
truly love this album so much Greenday absolutely went off on just about everything
Goodnight Adeline and Dilemma are my top favorites from this album 🙌
say, do you know anything about the Black Eyeliner demo? Like what was the inspiration for it? and why was it never made into a proper song on its own? I just discovered it, and I love it.
Agree this We wait to hear back roots old rock punk. Favorite song of Dilemma. Father to a Son
Two thousand likes, looks like a new Green Day ranking‼️
Great album
Idk if I have a particular favourite from this album: Dilemma, Father to a Son, Suzie Chapstick, the title track, Fancy Sauce, idk the entire album is a banger and I'm having a hard time picking a favourite. This definitely is the best album since American Idiot
Green Day Saviors enjoyable modern rock record to listen 😀 There are many powerful songs like Dilemma, One eyed bastard, Living in the 20, 1981, Corvette summer, Coma City ( my favourite song from saviors ) and rock ballads Father to a son, Fancy sauce, Goodnight Adeline. This record reminds me Green Day from modern era, American Idiot, 21 st Century, Revolution radio albums.
Bobby Sox is my favorite off the album 🖤 I’ve been loving the album as a whole!
This is easily their best record since 2009. Every song absolutely rips.
God I love them
Please do a ranking of Green Day#'s slbums. It'd be so nice to see one done by someone who actually knows the bsnd & has a clue what they're talking about- its rare to get aGreen Day album rwnking from someone eho actualoy knows the bsnd properly like you do! ❤
Will you do a ranking of the songs from Saviors? I've listened to the album 10 times and I'm not sure what I would put at the bottom, all of the songs are solid! (30 year old who's been a fan since them American Idiot).
Great album! Their best in years.
you said it all: this album is a no-skip type of album! I'm still struggling to pick my favorite songs bc they change all the time 💚
Best album
Tre absolutely hits the fuck outta the drums in Coma City especially the outro and I’m here for it
I listened to this album about two hours after it released. Saviors's sound is exactly what I think of when I think of Green Day outside of American Idiot. There wasn't even one song on this album that I actively disliked. My favorite song on this album was "Goodnight Adeline."
Billie also had his own small label called Adeline, which sadly closed a few years ago
The album is excellent!! I want to learn them all on my guitar. So rare to have so many good songs on one album.
I can agree, absolute BANGER!!
I remember 1981 teasers
I’m a 30 year fan this year. And I honestly think it’s an A+ album I don’t love every song but I can’t knock it. At all. Dilemma is the fuckin banger among bangers hands down.
Watching Jon full excitment for this album is amazing! Gonna give it a tenth listen just for this review
We are in the "Good music" period again.
I interpreted "Goodbye Adeline" as being about his, now defunct, Adeline Records.
Possibly!
@@ARTV-With a few more listens, I’ve changed my opinion and now agree with your take. 🤘
