Im almost in total agreement with y'all! The new Rancid, Strung-Out, Green Day, and Screeching Weasel are totally weird and forgettable for sure. And Strung-Out are in my top 5 fave. This album really bummed me out. Alkaline Trio for the win for me! Because Alkaline and NOFX are also in my top 5. I know Senses Fail arent really punk but thats another band that did not put out a good album. Maybe because all these guys are pushing mid 50s to 60s. I do like that Blink album. Just seen them in June and they were amazing.
Great job. I hope you do more of these. I was REALLY hoping you'd have the S-tier The Hives' latest album. It was awesome. It was great to see Millencolin there too. Looking forward to more of these where you branch out a little more. Many latest albums of bands that I have put out a few include The Dirty Nil, Iron Chic, Frenzal Rhomb, Sum 41, The Story So Far... anyway, I LOVE looking at an artist's more recent work, so here's a vote for more of these from me.
I liked all of these albums except AFI and Strung Out not so much. S: Green Day, A3 A: Blink, Millencolin B: Rancid, Bouncing Souls C: Weasel (I don't know this one enough), MxPx D: Strung Out, AFI
This is such a good idea for a tier list. i feel not enough people truly listen to the later albums by many of these bands. I wish I was here for the chat live.
I know a lot of people give blink shit for the vocals on OMT but to be fair Mark had to relearn how to sing after all the chemo he had to go through so autotune definitely helped him. Tom struggles vocally, especially live, but he’s an amazing song writer and the autotune is used to get him to the vocals he’s trying to achieve. This was a fun watch tho
I understand that, and the autotune I think works fine on some songs. It just gets overused on others. But I think it's still some of Blink's best songs in awhile. - Elliot
S; Green Day Alkaline Trio A; Rancid, Blink 182 B; MxPx, Millencolin C; AFI, Strung Out D; Screeching Wreasel, Bouncing Souls Green Day is up the S tier because I'm a Green Day fanboy and I've been listening to it since the album came out. Very tough to kick out Rancid of the S tier because I could only allow 2 bands for each tier. Rancid's Tomorrow Never Comes is a banger of an album and one of their better later albums coming from a band that's been pretty consistent. The more I listen to Blink 182's One More Time, the more I love it. Glad to see Tom DeLonge back in the band. Matt Skiba back with Alkaline Trio delivered another great album and I considered it to be their second best album in their career. I wanted to put MxPx on the A tier, but they only went to be tier since Blink 182 took the A slot. MxPx delivered a great album though. Such an underrated band. The band that should be talked about as much as Green Day and Blink 182.
S-mxpx, alkaline trio A-green day, millencolin B- blink 182, bouncing souls C-strung out, rancid D-screeching weasel, afi Nothing is terrible. Except afi continues to disappoint me on what could have been.
G'day boys, watching from Australia. Didn't mind the Bouncing Souls album. Ten Stories High was good, liked Higher Ground, and Kenver is a banger, driving on a sunny day with the windows down.
Best to worst I would go Alkaline Trio, Rancid, Bouncing Souls, Millencolin, MXPX, Screeching Weasels, Green Day, Strung Out, AFI and Blink 182. For Blink, with the production, I can't even get through more than 3 songs at a time.
Can’t believe the love for Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs here. Absolute boring shit and then to even say it’s better than god damnit at the end was the hottest take I’ve heard.
Totally agree with you on the end of one more time needing a fast part. Terrified being a blink song….I can’t agree as it is absolutely a boxcar song that made the album. I think turpentine is the best song on the album.
My list for most recent legend bands looks something like; S Alkaline Trio/ Blink A Sum 41 / zebrahead B Rancid / greenday C Millencolin / bouncing sounds / Lagwagon D Goldfinger / Mxpx
I wish Strung Out would get Kyle Black back (producer of Transmission). He was a huge fan of the band and focused on their strengths. This new producer sounds like he wanted to record a nu-metal record and highlighted the weaker SO aspects such as putting the vocals in front of everything and stifled the drummer's creativity (since drums were written on a drum machine without him). The new Green Day album was somewhat a return in sound, but I found it to be pretty lazy and generic. I was hoping for something more diverse like Nimrod (first record I bought in 1998 and still a top 10 album for me along with Dookie). Other than a handful of songs, I would have thought it'd be a b-side album had Father of All and the trilogy not existed. I enjoyed One More Time. Thought the songwriting was their strongest since self-titled. Don't care for the production and auto-tuning but it's nice to hear Tom back.
I think Not Today by MxPx is a banger. I think this and the self-titled shows a new introspective MxPx with Mike's life as an adult with a family. John's a hater! ;)
I'm really, really not a fan of the post "December underground" AFI era and I think their best albums are "Art of..." and "Black sails..." but my god you guys are brutally harsh on "Bodies" haha! But yeah, it's one of their worst, that's for sure!
My top two tiers would be AK3 & blink in S tier, and Green Day & Rancid in A tier. I think those four albums were far away the best on the list. As a big MxPx fan I had high expectations for Find a Way Home (since s/t was their best album in a very long time), but even though it had some really good tracks on it, a lot of the album was pretty mid if I'm being honest.
@@PunkRockRadar I hope there are MANY of these. Often people don't spend enough time with established bands' latest albums and tend to write them off without really listening to them. Please do mor of these :)
I think the blink nostalgia with Tom back has colored the reviews I honestly think John’s Feldmans idea of what blink should sound like super catchy with big hooks is far better than Travis Barkers version of arena rock blink with borderline Autotune vocals
Nine was literally trying to be an Arena Rock album, I really don't get an Arena Rock vibe from OMT, autotune vocals and production issues aside, it's much better songwriting than the previous album.
One More Time is horrible (in my opinion). Tom’s vocals are horrendous even when they’re pitch corrected to hell. Honestly I think they were onto something much better with Nine. I’m also a big Skiba fan, and have never liked Tom, so I’m a tad biased I’m sure.
BH&E is the best here by far, and might be their best record. It blows Goddammit away. Bodies is second and OMT is dead last and unlistenable. Bodies is no competition for Black Sails through STS, but it's better than anything Blink has ever done and 1000 times better than OMT. It fits perfectly in their gradual evolution, and they've never released a bad record. Saviors is too long for a Green Day record, but there's a great overdue follow up to Warning hidden in there if they had cut a few tracks (bobby sox, father to a son, corvette summer, living in the 20s), reordered a few and bookended it with Dilemma and Strange Days. It is baffling that they didn't open the record with the strumming in on Dilemma. It could have competed for second, but as it is, it lands third. The Awful Disclosures of Ben Weasel was a worthy follow up to Atavism and of comparable quality. Both are significantly better than Fidatevi through Baby Fat. MxPx was surprisingly decent, but didn't compel me to return. Ready to Rage was pretty good. I can't compare it to much they've done because I lost interest after Buffalo, but it was a lot better than Pokinatcha or Teenage Politics. It could conceivably move up if I spent more time with it. The only thing memorable between Rancid and Strung Out, (who have both spent some time as my favorite band) was the terrible production on DR, but it wasn't as bad as on OMT and neither was as viscerally off-putting. I don't think I've gotten around to Bouncing Souls or Millencolin, and I only have a passing familiarity with their discographies, but I'd be surprised if they ranked beneath TNC, DR or OMT
EVERYTIME I put your channel on to vibe with some punk rock shit some horrendous take sucks the air out the room. Tomorrow Never Comes in D from a guy who actually has menzingers as a top ten band shouldn’t be a surprise but god damn that shit pissed me off lol I’ll now slouch in my seat, grit my teeth and attempt to support one of the only punk channels that’s consistent.
How would you rank these albums?

We gotta start a stream at an Australia-friendly time at some point 😁
i think a list like this for recent pop punk albums (Neck Deep, TSSF, The Menzingers, etc.) would be really cool
Thank you for entertaining me on this Sunday morning guys :). I wish I could kick it with you and talk music.

Hell yeah! - Elliot
G'day boys, watching from Australia. Didn't mind the Bouncing Souls album. Ten Stories High was good, liked Higher Ground, and Kenver is a banger, driving on a sunny day with the windows down.
Alkaline trio’s latest is really good and tops the this tier list but is no way better than goddamnit
Amen. I'd say it's a top 5 Trio album and their best in 20+ years but probably still not as good as their first 4 (if you include Self-Titled).
Best to worst I would go Alkaline Trio, Rancid, Bouncing Souls, Millencolin, MXPX, Screeching Weasels, Green Day, Strung Out, AFI and Blink 182. For Blink, with the production, I can't even get through more than 3 songs at a time.
Big Trio Stan here. Speaking of a trio, please go check out Driveways and do a video on them.
Can’t believe the love for Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs here. Absolute boring shit and then to even say it’s better than god damnit at the end was the hottest take I’ve heard.
great video boys, i didnt know half these albums existed now i have a lot of new stuff to listen to
Totally agree with you on the end of one more time needing a fast part. Terrified being a blink song….I can’t agree as it is absolutely a boxcar song that made the album. I think turpentine is the best song on the album.
This is probably why it's the best song on the album, and it easily could have fit in on Untitled. Makes sense.
My list for most recent legend bands looks something like;
S Alkaline Trio/ Blink
A Sum 41 / zebrahead
B Rancid / greenday
C Millencolin / bouncing sounds / Lagwagon
D Goldfinger / Mxpx
Hudson Valley? That's home!
Man. You guys are WAY too harsh on Uno, Dos Tre, especially Uno. Bar the dumb first single, it is fantastic.
I have a feeling, that Matt would also have Rancid in D tier.
Greenday at b is a sin saviors is such a great album a s tier album

Transmission was the best sounding Strung Out. Finally got me into the band ;)
I think Not Today by MxPx is a banger. I think this and the self-titled shows a new introspective MxPx with Mike's life as an adult with a family. John's a hater! ;)
Agreed. When they get to that stage in life they’ll appreciate self titled and FAWH more.
Lewis would rather listen to MXPX over No Use For A Name
😂
Machine 15 rules.
One day, this Millencolin masterpiece will be reassessed. 😅
I agree.
