Green Day 时隔5年新作《21st Century Breakdown》,花费三年多的制作,朋克歌剧风格,叙事体裁,他们颠覆一切、他们野心勃勃,他们就是这个世界。 【专辑背景】 2004年的“朋克歌剧”《American Idiot》为绿日乐队(Green Day)赢得两座“格莱美”大奖,并让乐队一跃成为世界一线乐队。2009年乐队改换制作人请来Garbage 乐队的鼓手Butch Vig担当制作,虽然改换制作人但新专辑依然延续《American Idiot》的概念之路,以年轻夫妻Christian 和Gloria为主角,《21st Century Breakdown》共分三幕,“Heroes and Cons”、“Charlatans and Saints”和 “Horseshoes and Handgrenades”来讲述一个世纪的兴衰成败。 【专辑评测】 国外有句谚语叫“If it works, don't fix it.”意思是说如果好好的就不要去改变什么,绿日乐队的主唱Billie Armstrong一定深知其中的道理,所以当2008年他对外宣布乐队将在今年发行新专辑时,包括他在内的所有人都清楚绿日很可能再造一张《美国白痴》,这几乎就是不用揣测的事情。四十年前英国乐队The Who在发行了一张石破天惊的摇滚歌剧《Tommy》之后顺其自然地推出了现场版的摇滚歌剧《Live At Leeds》,他们懂得只要好好的就不要去改变什么;再近一些,2000年U2乐队发行《All That You Can't Leave Behind》从90年代末阴霾的电子舞曲抽身而出,接着2004年发行《How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb》进一步巩固自己伟大乐队的地位,他们同样懂得只要好好的就不要去改变什么。如今同样誓做伟大乐队的绿日也很清楚要将《American Idiot》良好的势头保持下去就只需再造一张《American Idiot》,一张不够就做两张,只要还是“绿日”时代,他们的朋克歌剧就不缺少听众。 除了将合作十年的制作人Rob Cavallo替换掉,《21st Century Breakdown》与《American Idiot》就再无其他差别,同样的音乐风格、同样的概念故事、同样的目标。用一个词定义《21st Century Breakdown》就是“野心”,无论从音乐上还是从歌词内容上,绿日都显示出坚定而且接近完美的野心。对于一只伟大的乐队来说这是必要的,伟大乐队的伟大之处就在于他们能做到别人想都不敢想的事情。 《21st Century Breakdown》音乐上的野心体现在制作人以及歌曲风格上,请来Butch Vig是因为Nirvana 的经典专辑《Nevermind》以及 The Smashing Pumpkins的惊世专辑《Siamese Dream by》都是出自他的监制。绿日乐队动用他的目的很明显,凭他的神奇再造一张经典。事实证明,新制作人的效果是强悍的,一方面他将一个庞大的主题通过编曲很好地连接成了整体,另一方面他让乐队尝试更多风格,除了朋克更加猛烈外,还有多首加入钢琴的作品,甚至还让Billie Armstrong用假声唱起慢歌。这在以前是绝对不会出现,融合多种风格的绿日也可以将流行朋克的帽子彻底拿掉了。新专辑内容的野心体现在歌曲的容量,专辑十八首歌曲讲述跨度一个世纪的庞大故事,如此庞大的概念专辑一般乐队是难以驾御的。新专辑以年轻夫妻Christian 和Gloria为主角讲述对宗教、政治、信仰的反思,当然还少不了小布什,绿日乐队成名于对他的攻击,自然要“善始善终”。小布什的卸任对于“绿日”来说多少算个损失,少了这个倒霉蛋,他们的矛头就不够尖锐,不过战争与和平是永久的话题,况且Billie Armstrong从约翰-列侬(John Lennon)那学来了工人阶级情怀也大有用武之地,专辑同名曲《21st Century Breakdown》即是讲述工人阶级的劳苦处境,歌曲思想上的升华是伟大乐队该有的境界。 绿日乐队的朋克歌剧做得不亦乐乎,《21st Century Breakdown》的野心要远远超过《American Idiot》,他们的灵感来自皇后乐队(Queen)、“冲撞”乐队(The Clash)以及美国蓝领领袖Bruce Springsteen,很宏大很强势,《American Idiot》能获得“格莱美”,《21st Century Breakdown》也很有希望,而问题就在于他们还要继续做几张《美国白痴》?真正的考验还在后头。(文/赵南坊 网易音乐测评室)

2005年接近尾声的时候一个美国青年收到Green Day的启发,在网上掷出了一颗音乐手榴弹—American Edit。 这颗手榴弹的威力非同小可,专辑中除了Green Day还有Oasis Travis Queen Aerosmith Eminem等人的歌曲采样。这是一张remix的专辑,作者富有创意的讲这些人的歌曲混入原来Green Day的歌曲中,同时混的很搭。但是在被MTV、NME、SPIN等着名媒体关注和报道的同时,还一度受到来自Warner Music、EMI的巨大压力——阻止其发行——差一点就使这张专辑胎死腹中

Saviors (stylized as 'SAVIORS') is the upcoming fourteenth studio album by American rock band Green Day. It is set to be released on January 19, 2024, through Reprise Records. The album is the band's first since Kerplunk (1991) in which they own the copyright, although it is under exclusive license to Reprise Records. Saviors was recorded in London, England, and Los Angeles, California, and sees the band collaborating with producer Rob Cavallo for the first time since 2012.Early reports stated that their forthcoming record would be titled 1972, signifying the year all three members were born. Prior to the album's release, the band played a song titled "1981" off the upcoming album during their live performance at Festival d'été de Québec on July 16, 2023.The band announced the album with the title Saviors on October 24, 2023, and released the song "The American Dream Is Killing Me" with a zombie-themed music video along with it. Written and recorded as one of the last tracks for the album, Billie Joe Armstrong revealed that they immediately decided to release the song as the lead single after recording it. The band first performed the single and another song titled "Look Ma, No Brains!" live in Las Vegas, Nevada, when they were in Vegas for When We Were Young.The track constitutes "a look at the way the traditional American Dream doesn't work for a lot of people" but hurts them instead. Green Day is set to embark on a stadium tour through North America along with the Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and the Linda Lindas in 2024.On the same day, the track list was leaked on Banquet Records, a UK record store before later being confirmed by Warner Music's site. A new single is scheduled to come out on November 2, 2023.

如果是别的流派、别的队,我可能会啐一口:炒冷饭、抄自己;但朋克就是直给,不要任何弯弯绕绕,不需要那么多所谓创新。过了三十年还能留着这一口朋克气真的应该肃然起敬。 是今年第一张full-album,星星曲目:The American Dream Is Killing Me、Dilemma、1981、Suzie Chapstick、Father to a Son、Fancy Sauce。 全碟最喜欢的时刻是Suzie Chapstick那两句吧哒啦啦,literally让我从心底发出了微笑——“Do you remember the jokes we told?Rumors from a long, long time ago. ”
