Blog from me coming soon. Their record is killer and this blog will be published soon. IN the meantime check out their video above or read a review from Brady Gerber from Vulture: HERE
Armstrong has been so successful at capturing angst over the past three decades that he never has to make another song in his life. Yet he still feels compelled to write and perform with urgency, as he does on Saviors, Green Day’s 14th studio album (out January 19). It’s tempting to call it the band’s best work since American Idiot, but perhaps “focused” is more accurate. In its most compelling moments — the Clash-worthy “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” the infectious “1981,” the Quadrophenia-like “Coma City” — Saviors blends American Idiot’s theater-kid energy and pristine production with Dookie’s messy yet relatable inward confusion. At 15 tracks, it’s somehow Green Day’s leanest album in years, a quasi-rebuttal to the band’s last few divisive “rock!” LPs.
