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

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

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.

The drums and cowbell on corvette summer is so intoxicatingly good. This album slaps

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.

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 💚

11:09 "you divisive sack of birdsh*t" Jon cooked so hard he set the kitchen on fire 😭🤣

Corvette summer and Susie chapstick are one of my favorites

I so wanted them to retitle this album, American Idiot Part 2.

I've been humming and singing these songs to myself all day at work since the album dropped. So good.

I feel like I'm the only person on this spinning ball ofndirt that really enjoyed Father of All Motherf*ckers. It has variety and I love it.

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

4:25 I think this is Mike’s best studio work.
The sound is punctuated perfectly in the mix.

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!

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

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.

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'm happy the cover and font choices are on point this time. I wouldn't be embarrassed to leave this out

We've been waiting for your review, man 😎

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 RUclips channel, was part of my formula for growing up. Thanks for the years of
Work dude!!

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?

I love Bobby sox like it just reminds me of hanging with my friends in like a really nice nostalgic way

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 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.

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.)

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.

Excellent review. It's wonderful.

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!!

It's the album I've been waiting 20 years for!!!

So happy to finally see this review posted! Love your videos man!

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.

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.

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

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.

8:42 Actually, they perform One Eyed Bastard too fast live 😅 it sound far less dark and angry when it’s played that fast.

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.

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

Been obsessed and non stop listening to Dilemma since the literal minute it was released, glad to hear its not just me!

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.

Great review. Thanks.

Im Obsessed with saviors its sooo amazing!!!!! definitely one of their best! and YESS Dilema is my favorite song!!!!

I feel like living in the 20s is a copy of "Horseshoes and Handgrenades"

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

The intro 😭😭

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 🖤🖤

Awesome video, Saviors rules!

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.

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

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 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?

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

Tre absolutely hits the f*ck outta the drums in Coma City especially the outro and I’m here for it

This is easily their best record since 2009. Every song absolutely rips.

Agree this We wait to hear back roots old rock punk. Favorite song of Dilemma. Father to a Son

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.

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! ✊️❤

You have a new subscriber in germany, GD forever! ❤

Father To A Son is among my favorite Green Day songs

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.

I loved that sideswipe at the human rat at 11:00

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

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.

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."

truly love this album so much Greenday absolutely went off on just about everything

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 💚

Watching Jon full excitment for this album is amazing! Gonna give it a tenth listen just for this review

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

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!

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.

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.

Billie also had his own small label called Adeline, which sadly closed a few years ago

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.

Bobby Sox is my favorite off the album 🖤 I’ve been loving the album as a whole!

Missed u Jon :DDD

Will probably get it on CD
I haven't updated my CD catalog in like 4 years tho

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 f*ckin banger among bangers hands down.

The album is excellent!! I want to learn them all on my guitar. So rare to have so many good songs on one album.

that intro was so fire lmaoo

My favorite band is Green Day aswell and I think this is some of the best stuff we’ve gotten in a while. I love Green Day and my favorite will always be their pre warning stuff but you can’t expect them to stay punk teenagers forever. I’m so glad their making new music that’s good.

Goodnight Adeline and Dilemma are my top favorites from this album 🙌

21st Century Breakdown is still my favourite album of their's, but I will echo the other comments by saying this is easily their best album in 15 years. Great variety across the album and every song is unskippable.

Two thousand likes, looks like a new Green Day ranking‼️

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.

Amazing

Can’t watch the review yet, but FUUUUUUUUUUCK I love this album. I’ve listen to this nonstop.
My favorite track is Coma City.
As someone who didn’t even really dislike FOA, this is what GD needed. This is the follow up Rev Rad deserved.
GD are my favorite band as well. I wanna see them live this year, but I don’t have an arm and leg to give away.

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! ❤

I was waiting for your review😊

Yay I’ve been waiting for your review 💕 my fellow idiot and why I’ve loved your channel

Been a Green Day fan since ‘94, and here we are in 2024 listening to yet another gem in “Saviors”. Love this album, from beginning to end, more and more with each listen.

Goodnight Adeline reminds me of Don't Look Back In Anger

I interpreted "Goodbye Adeline" as being about his, now defunct, Adeline Records.

Green Day new album "Saviors" is a real "Ripper" it is full of great rock songs you can't get out of your head it's the best thing Green Day have done. Buy the album and support the band they're great. Love Green Day

Am i the only one who sees french philosopher Jacques Derrida at the Album cover?

Great album

Hey, random but I would love to see you do a new ranked video of RHCP albums!!

I can agree, absolute BANGER!!

God I love them
