Dawson WagnerAssistant Chief Operator | Wildcat 91.9 In the year of our lord 2024, Green Day has graced us with their 14th studio album, 'Saviors.' As many know, Green Day is no stranger to controversy and political commentary, but has the band managed to strike a chord with their latest release or has the punk-rock well run dry? (The album kicks off with "The American Dream is Killing Me," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. It's a catchy tune with a strong message about the disillusionment of the American Dream. The song is reminiscent of Green Day's earlier work, and it's clear that the band hasn't lost their touch when it comes to writing politically charged lyrics.
As we continue to dive farther into the aggressively written and passionate lyrics of the next few songs, we are treated to a mix of classic Green Day sound with some new elements thrown in. "Look Ma, No Brains!" is a standout track that showcases the band's ability to blend punk-rock with pop sensibilities. It's such a fun, energetic song that is sure to inspire any head banger to thrash their brains as hard as they can. However, not all of the tracks on 'Saviors' are winners. "Dilemma" feels like a generic pop-punk song that could have been written by any band in the genre. It's not a bad song, but it’s standard chords and monotone lyrics make it one of the more bland songs on the album. Overall, 'Saviors' is a very solid album from Green Day. While it may not be their best work, it's a worthy addition to their discography. The album is a mix of classic Green Day sound with some new elements thrown in, and it's clear that the band is still capable of writing catchy, politically charged songs. Whether you're a die-hard Green Day fan or just a casual listener, 'Saviors' is definitely worth putting into the “jam sesh” playlist for any casual head bangers. Comments are closed.
