It really does boggle the mind how muddy the metaphors are. By saying 'p*dophiles', does he mean the American dream is young, or underdeveloped, and therefore fetishizing it is like p*dophilia? Is it a critique of how we've yet to live up to the American dream, or that the idea itself is flawed? This is what happens when you try to be witty in a song whose verses are otherwise made up of just pointing at things.
I thought it was him using the term to criticize conservatives who misuse the word against LGBTQ+ as a way to write off their identity/ place in society. Similar to the use of the F slur in American Idiot/ Holiday. It has shock value as a way to grab people and make them talk about it. Whether he achieved that goal is another matter lol. That was just my read on it.
@@nono-xm8yl Maybe it'd saying that the innocence of America and how young it is compared to other countries got screwed over by the 'pedophiles' aka the government and became this rigid, angry, traumatized shell of it's former self who invades countries just to feel some self control from the trauma it experienced, had citizens fight against one another for petty reasons and that the American dream no longer exist because of the government destroying the country inside and out, becoming more like a corrupt third world country.
@humanreviewsstuff right? I started this video ready to get absolutely pissed off at him potentially trashing it and was actually very taken aback by how much he enjoyed it. Dude was even defending them from his chat whenever they accused GD of ripping off stuff. It freaks me out a little bit seeing Brad actually enjoy a GD album

Yeah, the jonhny test song was actually based on American Idiot. Not the other way around. The writers of the show were green day fans and wanted to base the song off of American Idiot.
That's actually what I like about this album. It feels like what the Trilogy should have been, a stripped back, straight forward rock album from a band finally not trying to one up themselves.
The production and mixing is great on this record thanks to Rob Cavallo and Chris Lord-Alge. Rob Cavallo incidentally also produced albums like Dookie and American Idiot. Overall the album is pretty good though imo. There are duds and questionable lyrics but tbh Billie's vocal deliveries are some of his best, in particular his screams which he hasn't done properly in ages on an album. The production overall is tight and heavy with a nice balance between distorted guitar, drums, and bass. Also, Mike Dirnt's bass playing is clearly audible, has personality, and isn't restricted to boring root notes as it primarily was from American Idiot onwards. Not sure what people still want from Green Day? Originality is a questionable term anyways and if your style is based on 4-chord songs of course after 30+ years, such chord progressions will have parallels with other songs. This ain't a rock classic but a solid and genuine record for GD fans. Peace
Brad, if you already haven't, do check out some of Green days older albums. Personally I would recommend Insomniac and nimrod. Both take quite a few risks which them have a really unique sound
Yeah I understand it sold the most but idk why people think that dookie is the only good green day album when insomniac and nimrod are easily just as good.
@@2veryfatboys they only put out an album like every 4 years to be fair if you liked revolution radio and didn't like father of all, then that'd mean despite it being only one album you didn't like, the last one you did like was 8 years ago
This album is chock-full of guilty pleasures for me. I've had Corvette Summer on repeat for days, Bobby Sox is genuinely adorable and Look Ma, No Brains has no right to be so catchy with that stupidass title.
The chord progression in Bobby Sox is the same as the one in 'abcdefu' by Gayle lol Also, "Do you wanna be my boyfriend"? My guy, you've been married for 30 years
Homie, when he says “do you wanna be my boyfriend?” he’s singing it from his wife’s perspective, not his. It’s also coming from his earlier days from when him and his wife first met.
It would be interesting to see Brads reaction to 21st Century Breakdown, that album divided so many fans but personally it's my favorite Green Day album.
I have to skip Bobby Sox whenever it comes up, I’m sorry but I do not wanna hear the same line over and over again, love you Green Day but Bobby Sox was not it 💀
Honestly I had a lot of fun listening to this album on stream, and while the many comparisons got kind of annoying as it went along, it was a lot of fun trying to find what exact song Green Day was ripping off each time. And despite all of that, I kind of like the album. No matter what your opinion on the album is though, I think we can all agree that going from this to Lil' Dicky's Penith was the harshest whiplash ever felt by any group of human beings.
Ngl the hardest part of watching this was looking at the chat going from “Uh oh the worst song in the album is incoming!!” “this is trash” Before Brad plays it and after he says it's not that bad they go like “meh it wasn't that bad” and, “I told y'all this the best song on the album!!” other than that I did NOT expect You to like this album as much Brad! And I'm honestly glad cuz this is the best Green Day album in a minute imo :)
Yes I'm sure the people who said the former are also the same people who the latter. Why do people act like everyone in chat has the same thoughts? Feels like a projection.
@@fighisver yes I am sure cuz I watched the video and saw them switch in real time, idk why the word “projection” gets thrown by y'all every time people point out that some fans are mindless followers lol.
seeing that person during Bobby Sox going "they're trying to appeal to the LGBTQ now" is so funny to me because Billie Joe Armstrong has been an out bisexual since 1995
Even though I like this album (and a lot of Green Day's more recent albums other than ...that one), there were a lot of really familiar-sounding melodies and it's honestly very fun to see Brad/chat identify the melodic similarities to other songs, whether they were intentional ripoffs or not
Oh my god I'm French and immediately thought of BB Brunes when the One Eyed Bastard verse came in. To learn that the song actually rips off at least 2 other songs makes me laugh
Back in the day we used to complain about 21st century breakdown being a disappointing follow-up to American Idiot... Boy did we have no idea what was coming from that band.
@@WoahLookAtThatFreak Every song is like a poem, it takes a few listens to guage the meaning of a lot of them and piece together the story being told throughout, but once you do you discover this beautiful and almost tragic story about a relationship that's falling apart, symbolically portrayed as a revolution against a government that tackles themes all across the spectrum, especially those that identify with the trepidation, fear and hope that lead into the Obama administration's first term. It's a masterpiece in my opinion, and I think the main reason that I like it more than AI is that it has more to say and has more variety sonically. It's very much NOT a punk album as a whole, but that punk energy still radiates throughout. there's my attempt at a summary essay of why i like it, sorry if it's a bit college but idk how else to express what i'm tryna say so
absolutely amazing album. saw them last saturday live at Wembley and it was the best concert of my life, many people there said that as well. was simply fantastic live
ive listened to this album constantly since it dropped and honestly i just keep falling in love with it even more every day with a new favorite almost every day. dilemma before it came out, coma city off first listen, strange days and suzie the next couple days, and then even fancy sauce i started to love... this is probably gonna be my favorite album of the year and i cant wait to keep listening throughout the year!
I wish he listened to "Nimrod" actually. Because I listened to "Dookie" and had a very similar reaction to Brad, like it was just ok, but I LOOOOVED "Nimrod" I don't know what it is but I enjoy it so much more than "Dookie". I think it's more creative, diverse, it even has a hardcore punk track, basically every track has some sort of a creative hook, like, this album is, I love it, I think it's the best Green Day album and despite it being just pop punk it became one of my favorite albums. Seriously, it jist brings smile to my face
I second that. I feel like Brad would like how versatile that album is. Even if Green Day doing surf rock is not the best thing, at least it's kinda interesting to have it in there.
Really enjoying hearing mostly positivity in this video, and the comments too, honestly I know I’m biased as a life long Green Day fan but I feel like it’s just cool to hate Green Days these days
Funny as hell Brad, on One Eyed Bastard, you mentioned the chorus sounds like Jenny (and it totally does) but I originally thought it sounded like The Passenger by Iggy Pop. Not a single note of that song is original
@@ringer1324 I don’t have any problems with that , it’s just calling it a masterpiece and giving it a 4.5/5 seems weird to me The same thing as when he put 2.5/5 records on his worst albums of the year list
As an aging millennial, it endlessly sucks to see Green Day spiral the drain, but this one ain't half bad. Still not the Green Day I know and love, still stealing riffs, but I'd actually put this on now and then.
As a die hard fan of both Green Day and Brad I was expecting him to rip it to shreds. Surprisingly I agree with almost all of the opinions. But One Eyed bastard belongs in the trash
As someone who enjoys green days music, they definitely fell off after 21cb. Personally there are some songs here and there that i enjoy from their newer work, but it's nothing compared to what they made back in the day (especially dookie - nimrod)
Really good album for Greenday fans with autism. I like my music consistent, this album sounds like American idiot and I love that about it. It’s like if plain safe food were music
I think the album was ok, I just think it's kinda funny how some fans are talking about it in the virtues of it being better than Father Of All, which yeah it is, that doesn't mean much tho and in the end of the day this record is a C Tier Green Day album.
Maybe that should be the new formula for rock bands in their 50s now. Release an album so bad that you're next album looks great by comparison, even though it's insanely mediocre lol.
@@iliketrains3495 you can even hear the similaritys without having to add anything (it's just that a lot of those tracks had a clap beat). Corvette City is Grafitia, Goodnight Adeline is Junkies on a high, 1981 sounds a lot like sugar youth... Not a single original thought left in that band, I mean you could just sing Basket Case over the first 30 seconds of Strange Days and it fits seemlessly... also Bada bing bada bing bada boom is pretty much the exact level of lyric writing on Father of All.
@@J.U.N.K.officialstrange days has a completely different chord progression, brad did that as a joke. You're the type of person to take surface level observations and make them out to be major issues, when if you looked a little deeper and listened with your brain turned on, you'd notice quite a few differences in the writing, production, style and tone.
What is chat's obsession with trying to point out similarities to other songs? Every melody and chord progression has been written and used somewhere in some style of music.
@@Mr_BoyerI don't think Green Day is directly stealing from anyone. I think Green Day's fatal flaw is lacking creativity and originality. That's cool you like the record, just to me it sounds like music pulled extensively from other bands or it just sounds like older green day records, imo.
@cmbotch5739 if you can't name specific instances, then I can't take your claims seriously at all. You just sound like every schmuck in Brad's echo chamber of a chat.
@@Mr_BoyerI mean sure, I could if you want. Lol. Living in the 20s sounds just like Horseshoes and Hand Grenades. Saviors sounds just like Last of the American Girls. One Eyed Bastard is a weird amalgamation of The Passenger by Iggy Pop, Jenny by Tommy Tutone and Holiday. Bobby Sox, Suzie Chapstick and Goodnight Aldaline all sound like Weezer. While Look Ma, No Brains, 1981 and Coma City all sound like The Ramones.
Listening to strange days are here to say had me cackling because they stole 2 of their own songs for it. They used Basket case for the intro and 86 for the verses.
chorus of revolution radio is more similar than basket case for the intro imo. also the chorus is a lot like letterbomb... also its easily my favorite song off the album
Better than I expected for a recent Green Day album but the bar was set fairly low. The worst feeling that I think can come from a punk album is "meh" especially from bands that used to have some bangers back in the day. I did feel a bit awkward listening to "Father to a Son" which I actually liked but then I remembered who Billie Joe's kid was. Even though the song isn't explicitly about his own child, the stuff that went down with SWMRS would get stuck in my head if I hadn't read the lyrics and didn't have context for the song itself. I do agree with Brad that punk bands need to stop writing as if they are 20 years old but I also think the self-aware "we're in our mid-50s and still around" that bands like NOFX and now Blink are doing is kind of cringy. 4/10 - 5/10, maybe very light 6 for me if I get more used to it. Shame since Billie in the mid-90s was pretty good/ok at punk songwriting. Still not the worst.
i’m surprised at how much you ended up liking this album lol! i loveeeee green day and it’s like a 6.4/10 for me atm but some of the kitschier songs might start to grow on me
I disagreed with you on American Idiot Brad, but this one I agree with, it’s a 5/10 for me as well. It’s definitely more of a return to form since Father of All. Not better than Revolution Radio imo, but a step in the right direction again.

Can't wait for Weird Al to drop "The Canadian Dream Is Killing Me"
Regardless of what you think of it, we can all agree that it's MILES better than Father Of All
Definitely, and to be honest, that’s a very low bar to pass
By not much mileage
That's like saying a broken finger is better than a broken nose
That's like being asked "who would you rather walk in on while they're having sex? Your mom or wife?"
i genuinely believe its better than american idiot but slightly worse than dookie
I was genuinely surprised at how much you liked this album. It wasn't for me, but it's cool to see that other people liked it.

@@tomassantos4381yeah and that’s his personal opinion as a huge Green Day fan. I don’t see the problem with it
@@tomassantos4381deserved because he actually has taste unlike the people over here who listen to shitty hyperpop 🫠
(I’d give it a 4, but yeah)
@@ringer1324 I don’t have any problems with that , it’s just calling it a masterpiece and giving it a 4.5/5 seems weird to me
The same thing as when he put 2.5/5 records on his worst albums of the year list
and I actually do love a lot of Green Day’s older work
Take a shot every time Brad compares a song to a car commercial just because it opens with a distorted guitar
I don't get it. They've been playing the same riffs with the same song structure for decades. It's so simplistic and repetitive.
I’m a huge green day fan and this is definitely the best review I’ve watched. It’s not unfair on either side
As an aging millennial, it endlessly sucks to see Green Day spiral the drain, but this one ain't half bad. Still not the Green Day I know and love, still stealing riffs, but I'd actually put this on now and then.
This is probably their best stuff since at least 21CB if not AI
Bro it’s ass no need to sugarcoat it
The ending riff for the chorus for dilemma sounds insanely like volbeats I only wanna be with you cover. Note for note.
Off topic but I just started listening to Alkaline Trio. They are good
FR!! I can't wait for the new album
New album is terrific !!
As a die hard fan of both Green Day and Brad I was expecting him to rip it to shreds. Surprisingly I agree with almost all of the opinions. But One Eyed bastard belongs in the trash
It's fun once you've listened to the album a few times, you just get used to it after a while.
Most of the songs are meh bruh
As someone who enjoys green days music, they definitely fell off after 21cb. Personally there are some songs here and there that i enjoy from their newer work, but it's nothing compared to what they made back in the day (especially dookie - nimrod)
I feel exactly the same way.
Really good album for Greenday fans with autism. I like my music consistent, this album sounds like American idiot and I love that about it. It’s like if plain safe food were music

I just found ur channel recently and i like ur content. Is it possible to react one of Jakob Ogawa's EP?
I think chat gets a little carried away with trying to spot "ripoffs".
this album is great!!, and Green Day is one of the best bands ever!!
Review nimrod or insomniac
"buddy holly on a cross" lmfaooo
I think the album was ok, I just think it's kinda funny how some fans are talking about it in the virtues of it being better than Father Of All, which yeah it is, that doesn't mean much tho and in the end of the day this record is a C Tier Green Day album.
Maybe that should be the new formula for rock bands in their 50s now. Release an album so bad that you're next album looks great by comparison, even though it's insanely mediocre lol.
Put some Clap beats on the songs, and most of this album sounds just like Father of all...😂😂😂
Nope
@@iliketrains3495 you can even hear the similaritys without having to add anything (it's just that a lot of those tracks had a clap beat). Corvette City is Grafitia, Goodnight Adeline is Junkies on a high, 1981 sounds a lot like sugar youth...
Not a single original thought left in that band, I mean you could just sing Basket Case over the first 30 seconds of Strange Days and it fits seemlessly... also Bada bing bada bing bada boom is pretty much the exact level of lyric writing on Father of All.
@@J.U.N.K.officialstrange days has a completely different chord progression, brad did that as a joke. You're the type of person to take surface level observations and make them out to be major issues, when if you looked a little deeper and listened with your brain turned on, you'd notice quite a few differences in the writing, production, style and tone.
@@J.U.N.K.official Corvette City sounds nothing like Graffitia and Junkies on a High only barely sounds like Goodnight Adeline.
tom macdonald released a song with a ben shapiro verse you gotta react to this lol
dude i need to see his reaction lmfao
We also got an atrocious collaboration between Jason Derulo and *Michael Bublé* of all people. We need to suffer through this together.
What is chat's obsession with trying to point out similarities to other songs? Every melody and chord progression has been written and used somewhere in some style of music.
Yeah, but this is egregiously derivative.
@@WoahLookAtThatFreak cite your sources beyond the Pink riff.
@@Mr_BoyerI don't think Green Day is directly stealing from anyone. I think Green Day's fatal flaw is lacking creativity and originality. That's cool you like the record, just to me it sounds like music pulled extensively from other bands or it just sounds like older green day records, imo.
@cmbotch5739 if you can't name specific instances, then I can't take your claims seriously at all. You just sound like every schmuck in Brad's echo chamber of a chat.
@@Mr_BoyerI mean sure, I could if you want. Lol.
Living in the 20s sounds just like Horseshoes and Hand Grenades. Saviors sounds just like Last of the American Girls. One Eyed Bastard is a weird amalgamation of The Passenger by Iggy Pop, Jenny by Tommy Tutone and Holiday. Bobby Sox, Suzie Chapstick and Goodnight Aldaline all sound like Weezer. While Look Ma, No Brains, 1981 and Coma City all sound like The Ramones.
I love Green Day but this one really sucks
That expression was my reaction to MGK and Trippie Redd's sad sack EP. 7/10 for me though I enjoy it.
Now we can confidently say that Father Of All was them at their lowest.
9:04 😭🤣🤣
Js pink also stole that riff from a band in the 80s
Listening to strange days are here to say had me cackling because they stole 2 of their own songs for it. They used Basket case for the intro and 86 for the verses.
chorus of revolution radio is more similar than basket case for the intro imo. also the chorus is a lot like letterbomb... also its easily my favorite song off the album
oh my goodness i'm literally here 6:16
So many good punk bands out playing right now but here comes Green Day to perpetuate the myth that punk is dead lol
Better than I expected for a recent Green Day album but the bar was set fairly low. The worst feeling that I think can come from a punk album is "meh" especially from bands that used to have some bangers back in the day.
I did feel a bit awkward listening to "Father to a Son" which I actually liked but then I remembered who Billie Joe's kid was. Even though the song isn't explicitly about his own child, the stuff that went down with SWMRS would get stuck in my head if I hadn't read the lyrics and didn't have context for the song itself.
I do agree with Brad that punk bands need to stop writing as if they are 20 years old but I also think the self-aware "we're in our mid-50s and still around" that bands like NOFX and now Blink are doing is kind of cringy.
4/10 - 5/10, maybe very light 6 for me if I get more used to it. Shame since Billie in the mid-90s was pretty good/ok at punk songwriting. Still not the worst.
Just so you know, Billie has two sons. While Joey is scum, Jakob is cool and even showed up in the chat of an ARTV stream once.
@@iliketrains3495 I totally forgot about that. Now I kinda feel bad for my comment but I hope the family is doing well after everything that happened.
Longtime Green Day producer Rob Cavallo saved Saviors from mediocrity.
tracks 2 and 5 are great, a couple more fun short songs are decent but the rest is bad, boring or both
IMO if Turnstile can have a song in a Taco Bell ad, Green Day is fine
More focused gruel than the uno, dos, tre slop we've received before, but sounds exactly the same.
Dilemma is a banger
Hey Brad are you going to react To The Smile's sophomore album ? Wall of Eyes ??
i’m surprised at how much you ended up liking this album lol! i loveeeee green day and it’s like a 6.4/10 for me atm but some of the kitschier songs might start to grow on me
I disagreed with you on American Idiot Brad, but this one I agree with, it’s a 5/10 for me as well. It’s definitely more of a return to form since Father of All. Not better than Revolution Radio imo, but a step in the right direction again.
Just saying pink did also steal the guitar part, she didnt make it first
