Green Day’s new album, Saviors, has arrived.
Their 14th studio album, Saviors, is the first full-length release from Green Day since 2020’s Father of All Motherfuckers, and features more of a political tilt than the band has had in years. The lead single, “The American Dream Is Killing Me,” proves that with its title alone, as well as with lyrics like “Don’t want no huddled masses/ TikTok and taxes/ Under the overpass/ Sleeping in broken glass.”
Speaking about the band’s return to political subject matter, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong explained: “This time, we brought it out, and we felt like it was the perfect time for it… It takes those special, inspired moments to have a moment like ‘The American Dream Is Killing Me.’”
Subsequent singles — “Look Ma, No Brains!” “Dilemma,” and “One Eyed Bastard” — all showed off the record’s beefy, modern rock sound, brought to life by producer Rob Cavallo, who previously worked with Green Day on 2012’s ¡Tré! Now, the 15 tracks of Saviors are here in all of their glory, and are available on CD, cassette, and vinyl formats (orders are ongoing). Stream the album below on Apple Music or Spotify.
Up next, Green Day will hit the road for a sprawling stadium tour, and are set to play their albums Dookie and American Idiot in full at each show. Joining them will be special guests Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and The Linda Lindas. Tickets to the tour are available here.
In other Green Day news, the band recently altered the lyrics to “American Idiot” during a performance on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, and his past Wednesday, Armstonrg appeared on The Howard Stern Show, where he relayed a story about Eddie Van Halen crying when the two met for the first time.
