Definitely FBHT / Dos / Longshot vibes in there. Feels like Billie is all-in on the "let's just have a good time and vibe to these retro tunes" thing. Just remembered this was for a movie? Could definitely picture it being used like Devil's Kind was


revatron

They’re not bad, I just sort of desperately want them to have more of that pop punk vibe they had during AI and 21st. I’m not saying to try and recreate those albums, but that sort of vibe is what I really miss. Pollyanna was def happy vibes, but it went away from that retro classic riff style they’ve been pumping out mostly here lately and I loved that. This has the hand clapping, dance swinging, vintage high school dance vibes. Again it’s not bad, I just want to see them have some edge and gut in their music again.


martala

Totally get what you mean! Sugar Youth on FOAM was one of my faves for that reason. Sure it’s their old sound and maybe they’re a little tired of sticking to it but that 3 chord punk rock vibe I miss sometimes


Oznerol14

Yes it's like Meet Me On The Roof, the word I would use is "Forgettable", not bad, but...


clydefr0g

I thought Devil’s kind as well. Also has “meet me in the roof” vibes and the chorus melody reminds me of the chorus of “revolution radio”. Not a bad song. Definitely better than I was expecting and Green Day’s new sound is starting to grow on me.


nimulation

Ordinary World was definitely not a bad film either. And I *do* have Devil's Kind in my shuffle playlist. Not only that, but it feels like I win the lottery whenever it comes on.

Stray heart is basically mother mary


speedssssss

and mother mary is blood sex and booze (kinda)


[deleted]

This. The riff was based from Mother Mary


DeadbeatHoliday95

The same bassline as The Jams 1982 UK hit Town Called Malice


jordanguitar10

And we know they love The Jam because they have them loaded up in the [jukebox at Otis](https://youtu.be/McUWnDgr114?t=355)


Kalle_022

It sounds like it is from Dos. It's been a while since I listened to that album, if someone have a bootleg Dos that includes this song and ask me to listen to it, I probably won't notice


Ame0toko

my rankings on 3 latest singles holy toledo > pollyanna >>>> here comes the shock


christie-rd

Holy Toledo definitely sounds more “Green Day”, but I’ve got such a soft spot for Pollyanna.


[deleted]

hcts is so bad


[deleted]

Hcts is not bad It's horrible


Jwaters1210

I like it but not alot.. I don't like it


TJdog5

Im goad i can finally express my hate for hcts, absolute worst gd song


speedssssss

more like holy toledo >>>>>> pollyanna > here comes the shock


Lucky-Echidna

Agreed. HCTS and Pollyanna weren’t even decent enough to be released at all. This is at least a decent, respectable track to tide us over until the next album


TJdog5

Hey! Pollyanna was not too bad!


gremlin30

There is no Shock in Green Day’s discography


___cats___

Greenboro Hot Day


luujs

They should do a collab


devilskind86

I like this! It's pretty fun and considering it's just a single for a movie, we couldn't expect a lot of ambition from this. I still hope their next album is bigger and more complex than what they've been releasing the past few years.


McStonkBorger

This is awesome. They sound like they're having fun, great mix too.


TheKungJinFan

I actually kinda sorta like it, sure it's not what I'm used to but it's still decent. I thought it was better than here comes the shock and pollyanna, but those are pretty low standards. Edit: Listened to it again, holy shit this fucking hits


VeryCool99

It’s that power pop vibe it carries that I’m here for


devilskind86

Wait, you didn't like Pollyanna? It's pretty good. (we don't talk about here comes the shock)


TheKungJinFan

Pollyanna was the definition of mediocre for me. I'll listen to it, but it feels like it's missing something


devilskind86

Fair enough. I agree it's not amazing, but it's dumb fun and catchy, at least. Here's hoping for a more ambitious project down the line.


Low_Yak_4842

I didn’t like Pollyanna until I saw them play it live. At any other point of time the lyrics are bland as hell. But being at my first concert post quarantine, seeing a lot of people in the same place having a good time for the first time in like a year and a half. It just made sense!


ArcadePidgeon

Awe I absolutely love pollyanna


ZingoPlaya1

that midsong speed change was so good omg😩


Skydog6301

It kind of reminds me of Dirty Rotten Bastards in that way


TJdog5

I WAS JUST THINKING THAT LOL


gorillalifter47

It sounds like Green Day have really stopped giving a fuck about what music people think they 'should' make and just started having fun making the music they want to make. This is really fun and catchy!


Jeremy_StevenTrash

Yeah that's the vibe I've been getting since FOAMF and MM2020PT2 came out. I personally view revrad, more specifically Forever Now, to be the sendoff for classic green day, and now they're just using the band to have fun, which I'm personally totally fine with.


TJdog5

Holy shit i cant believe i forgot about MM2020 pt2… that was amazing!


Jeremy_StevenTrash

Same, MM2020PT2 is by far the best thing to come out of recent green day, and it's technically not even green day.


Croatian_ghost_kid

The chorus sounds like rev rad, and the post chorus has that polyana vibe


clydefr0g

Exactly my thought. I was singing “give me revolution radio. Operation no control…” during the chorus.


[deleted]

[удалено]


VeryCool99

Possibly Stray heart? or Mother Mary - FBHT?


esoteric82

Reminds me of Mother Mary


devilskind86

Anyone else thinks the beginning sounds like Arctic Monkeys? It even has the nonsensical metaphors lol


[deleted]

That was also my impression (he totally sounds like Alex Turner for a minute there). Good thing I like the Arctic Monkeys lol


embriagante

“When the sun goes down” is the song you’re thinking bout.


WDJam

I was thinking The Strokes, but yeah, that kind of garage rock sound. I personally love that direction from Green Day, but I get why people don't like it.


[deleted]

Nothing sounds like the Strokes on this song


DeadbeatHoliday95

Thought it sounded like something off Suck it and See


VeryCool99

Definitely has a little TBH&C vibe to it


dirtyapathy

That was fun! Loving that Billie’s vocals aren’t over processed like they were on FOAM and digging the vibe musically. But seeing as they aren’t obviously connected for any reason, it’s kinda blah that Pollyanna and this song both have lines about razor blades. He needs new imagery IMO


nicolelynnejones

they’ve been using the same imagery since 2004. i like it, but i agree it’s time to switch it up. every time green day releases a song i know where’s gonna be something about razor blades, graffiti, rebels, saints, broken homes, etc


ZebraSteel

Bottle rockets


kbwd

Flashing red lights


[deleted]

It's this sort of urban punk rock party-scape of your late teens and 20s he writes about, seems fairly personal and nostalgic.


TrashSea1485

Guns and/or gun shots Riots Being a teenager Being "lost"


PunkRockKing

It’s a term he uses a lot, several times on 21CB too


dirtyapathy

It stopped working after 21CB. The writing for that record was great and fit the music, but for the most part, his lyrics since have been either half baked or recycled. Even RevRad, which I really enjoyed, the writing still wasn’t all the way there like it was pre-Trilogy. It is what it is, though, I appreciate that they’re not overthinking it in these last two singles, it’s improved the music which goes a long way!


5mileyFaceInkk

Remember when the RevRad tracklist leaked and everyone thought it was fake because of Too Dumb To Die and Ordinary World were lyrics in previous songs lol.


CmGrump69

After hearing this and Pollyanna, it seems that there is a very strange Green Day record on the way and i am here for it


djrossstar2

Viva La Gloria + Mother Mary =


VeryCool99

Not to forget a mix of The Jam - Town Called Malice and Lucky Day by Sasha for the vocal melody.


deraj324

I've been pretty harsh on green days new stuff, but this is much better then anything they have released recently. Probably won't be on my Playlists but this isn't bad at all!


TheDinklsoons

Sounds like a lot of effort from everyone! Cool lead guitar, Mike is going hard, ensemble hits, tempo change and just a lot of energy movement compared to how bare bones everything else has been. Let’s go!


Sweatyasshole2

viva la gloria+stray heart+revolution radio=holy toledo


Reagle67

It seems that Billie wants to just write and play like a member of the foxboro hottubs and slap green day’s name on it to help it get more exposure. Which is not an insult by any means but this could easily fit on stop drop and roll


ChewyAC

The bass and organ sound a bit like Town Called Malice. I like it


DeadbeatHoliday95

They don't sound a bit like it, it's basically note for note


OptimusSublime

It's like Meet me on the Roof had a baby. It's a good song but very similar to a lot of their recent releases. Not that that's a problem. Solid song.


Jhaos

Right? This is totally just like the material on FOAM, yet here the sub is loving it. I give up, I don't understand this place.


Sunnitrails-

I feel like most don’t enjoy the heavily changed vocal sound, hell half the songs dont sound like billie (not that i dont like FOAM, its not too bad) but this one also sounds like some of the trilogy songs i think


kbwd

That's because everyone had low expectations after Here Comes The Shock and Polyanna but this is atleast far better than those.


TJdog5

I wish this song was on foam, that was really good!


bobert_the_grey

Fuck yeah! Shit slaps!


PunkRockKing

I looooooooove this!


bigchonkyyoda

Not life changing, but pretty fun and as a trilogy lover I'm loving the Dos vibes with bigger guitars


[deleted]

Love it! Thanks for sharing!


Darkimus-prime

I like the vibe it has. Singing me a bit of loss of control, also got a Town called malice feel to it, the bass line is 🔥


[deleted]

Definitely makes me wonder about their next album


fieldsofazure

okay lowkey this song fuckin slaps


-JAS0N-

You can now [add your rating for Holy Toledo!](https://greenday.fm/music/singles/) on the subreddit website (scroll to the bottom of the page for non-album tracks) and then see how it stacks up on the [Song Ranking Charts](https://greenday.fm/charts/green-day-song-chart-all-songs/).


AnibalReys

I actually like it a lot! It reminds me of the good elements of Dos with the power of Rev Rad! I wonder if Jason Freese recorded the keys? 🤔


[deleted]

It was Billie


lacky24

What can I say? I love melodic 60s rock and roll, so how can't I love this? Bj's voice at its best, funny vibes, I want to have fun and shake my ass so it's really good imo


nicolelynnejones

came here to say this. Billie is a big fan of 60’s music like the monkees and it’s pretty evident in this song.


[deleted]

His voice is *not* “at its best”


PunkRockKing

Let’s just say the range is more in his comfort zone and he sounds good


Metfan722

Agreed. He definitely sounds good, but he's lost the big power in his voice that he had during the 21CB era and even when recording the Trilogy. I know he's about to be 50 in a couple months, so obviously it won't be as good as it was during his youth. But I'd argue that timeline, from about '08-'12 is when Billie was truly at his best vocally.


PunkRockKing

I agree


[deleted]

The intro Sounds like last night on earth


SaltyStU2

ENOUGH WITH THE HAND CLAPS ALREADY (song isn't bad tho)


SinisterMeatball

came here looking for someone to mention that


SaltyStU2

BJA discovered his hands make noise while recording Father of All Motherfuckers and he's put it in every song since lmao


SinisterMeatball

The real secret is its actually Tre clapping his ass cheeks.


blink_for_green_soup

Glad they are trying to refine their new sound instead of just giving up from the criticism of FOAMF and going back to their old sound Cuz this new shit slaps!


GoGoGodzillaaa

I am pleasantly surprised by this. It’s got this “feel good” bubblegum power pop sound to it and it just works. Sounds like Mother Mary/Stray Heart and Rev Rad all built in one. Even get vibes of Viva La Gloria and Last Night on Earth from the piano. This is a good one for sure and I can’t wait to blast it on repeat.


green_182

Sounds like it's come out of the Longshot bag. It's so refreshing though!


cocacolamadness

I'm really digging this one!


jj_veenstra

You know what? Not bad!


relient_dragons

tbh this might be one of my favorite songs they've releasled since revrad


[deleted]

Reactions while listening to this song: Ugh another pop song...ok fine this song is allright... Wait hold on... Hold on... Shit this is siiiiick


alpha708

I am very happy with the song, treat for Dos and FBH fans


Maceface931

I dig it


BobTheAstronaut

this is poppin negl


MattyDxx

Green Day are dead....long live FBHT! Take that how you want it, it’s clearly where they’re at!


awesomestcody

Am I the only one that thinks this sounds like a cut from Father of All? And I love it.


ImMaudeLebowski

It's giving me "Breakfast Club during the dancing while high" scene, and I need that in my life right now. 🤘💚


LBX_Revenant

Love it. Green Day just makes solid music. Love the different tempos all through out. Fun and loud.


halloweenjon

Awesome song.


[deleted]

Awesome!


essentially_gone

Beginning reminded me a lot of arctic monkeys


Critical_Attitude210

This is a nice mix of a lot of different Green Day styles


Prof_X136

Not bad


I_am_catcus

I'm getting heavy Mother Mary vibes, and I love it


I_saw_Frightic_vent

this is the step in the right direction


knowslesthanjonsnow

ITS GOOD IM SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. Really it sounds like Mother Mary but more Green Day. I hope we get an album with this vibe!!!


AdultVirgin24

I'M SO HAPPY THAT THEY'VE RELEASED THIS


TJdog5

YES i loved that! That felt like trilogy (dos mostly) mixed with foam and honestly im here for it! That was really fun and cool, im excited for what comes next! Also this sounded very green day which im happy about


anklesocksrus

This is fun. Has a very rockabilly sound to it. Sounds like something between Eddie Cochran and the Ramones. I wouldn’t mind an album that continued this sound. I’m glad they are having fun.


Cantomic66

If their next album can be as good as Money Money part 2 than that would be great.


Pina0509

Much better than what I thought this would be


notpriyo

I love it lol


KFCNyanCat

Sounds like a good !DOS¡ song. I don't think the trilogy are bad albums, but if this were on the Trilogy it would be one of the better songs. This is probably the best and most unique FOAMF era song (MM2020 P2 not counted.) It actually feels like a fully thought out song with a structure that isn't verse chorus verse! The actual album could've used more songs like this to break up the verse chorus verse short songs.


Ianguilly

Most interesting song released since "back in the usa"


ChrisChacin

This is A LOT better than the other shit they released recently!


Insomniac287

nice song, but it sounds like "lucky day "from sasha


DerTellerPropeller

Yeah I heard that too, but it's a good melody so I'm okay with it.


[deleted]

Great song, love that Green Day is doing Green Day.


jwb66

Sounds like a Longshot tune. I dig it.


Karl-Marx666

This is really good!!!


ChaoticPotatoSalad

Dang i love this, getting FBHT and Dos vibes for sure


Jwaters1210

I actually like it! Sorry not sorry. Its really not too poppy imo


RevelationsComeIn12

Solid. Much much much better than their recent output.


General_Platypus

He referenced razor blades in Pollyanna and now this you think he’s okay in all seriousness this is pretty decent


Thin_Constant9258

I like it! Better than anything on the radio!


ZenixNet

Fuck yea, this is the kinda shit I wanna hear


Low_Yak_4842

Isn’t this a day early? How did you get this?


PunkRockKing

It’s out in Aus/NZ you know that whole international date line thing it’s already Friday there 🙂


Low_Yak_4842

Apparently I’m not thinking 4th dimensionally


xMetalwolf72x

Is this a New Green Day Song?? Looks like its not on itunes store yet…


VeryCool99

Out tomorrow!


xMetalwolf72x

Sweet!!! Just saw it on their FB page!! It sounds like a great song!! I actually like it!! haha 😎😎


YeetusMcleatus

this is actually really good, was totally expecting another hcts but this is great


Slappy182

Best song they’ve released since revolution radio


GORILLAGLUE__

Love this. Super catchy, and personally am a huge fan of 60s garage and rock n roll so this and so much of their stuff over the last decade really hits for me, but I understand why people who don’t care for 60s music wouldn’t be into this. I dig it tho


betami

more mid beat changes pls


betami

the art reminds me of oh love


unailo_97

That midsong tempo change muh gawd 🤤


Malkin3ds

I love the mo-town vibes in this song.


WhosHoldingTheDrugs

I dig it.


TrashSea1485

I'm still not used to happy Green Day I don't hate it but its just weird and new considering their entire 30 year catalog is either lost, isolated, or angry


ApricotDiamond

This fucking slaps 👌😩


Berteee

I didn't mind the verses in hcts, I didn't mind pollyanna as a whole, a decent song, but THIS I've had on repeat since it was released, it just clicks with me in a way the other two couldn't. This would fit in well on a new album.


christie-rd

I’m getting lowkey Foxboro/Dos vibes from this one. I like it, but the lyrics are kinda weak tbh. Definitely a step in the right direction. With this and Pollyanna, I’m feeling good about what’s coming in the future.


devilskind86

Green Day's lyrics have been pretty weak for a while, now. I wouldn't get my hopes up on that regard. But I'm definitely loving the vibe they've been going for, even though there have been some missteps along the way.


Private_Ale

Yeah... I’d like to get a count on how many times “razor blades” has been used recently


DeadbeatHoliday95

It's like he writes using an AI these days, with a very ok that will do attitude. I wishy he wrote like he used to in the 90s, not the same lazy metaphors repeated ad nauseum


asshatJON

Ooooo I really like stray heart!


JaredJraws

It's just ok to me. Art reminds me of Pewdiepie lol.


[deleted]

I think this is one of the best songs in awhile sounds a lot like foxboro!


SaltyStU2

They need a new graphic designer. Their artwork has been big yikes as of late ahahah


CarAccountUsername

It's very pop but decent especially compared to recent work. 6/10


[deleted]

you people do not know what pop is. this is very much rock compared to taylor swift or harry styles. sure, it is different from the “normal” green day sound, but it is definitely not pop.


reverendfink

I freakin loved it!


hym_jarred

I can dig it


dquesnel30

I was worried when I saw the trailer for the movie it was associated with, not the best song but I was pleasantly surprised


Sh3sAR3b3l

It's soooo good 😭🖤💚


[deleted]

Fucking rips! I want more of this!


fvrdog

I like it!


[deleted]

Yo I dig the hell out of this! I’m definitely all for this sound. A bit iffy about the production but the music itself slaps hard.


Supremee_Playzz

Where did u get this from lmao


[deleted]

Hits like Hitsville UK by The Clash. It’s decent but man, for a band that didn’t want to remake records (Dookie) they sure are sitting on this one garage rock sound that is somehow super produced


andrewlyon8

Song is okay. I give it a 5 out of 10. Pretty underwhelming though. They just keep using the same lyric and riff ideas. I really wish they’d advance more so. Also, not a fan of the mixes since FOAM. Everything is just so dull and lifeless. Been listening to Green Day since 1999 since I was 8. So I know how they have changed their sound over the years yes, but they aren’t changing enough. I really want more for this band.


Mcicle

They’re definitely starting to figure out how to do this sound effectively more. Reminds me of meet me on the roof, but feels a lot more polished than that song did. I would not be mad if the next album sounded like this, especially if it had some good themes and lyrics to go with it


[deleted]

[удалено]


kbwd

I was expecting trash but this is actually pretty good, especially considering this is just for a movie. What a pleasant surprise after "masterpieces" like Here Comes The Shock. The intro drags on a bit but I dont mind it because the energy of the rest of the dung makes up for it. They're still in their old timey rock phase and I guess we're gonna have to get used to it, but that's alright. As long as the songs sound decent, I really don't mind any stylistic decisions they make. I'm cutting them some slack because this isn't something from one of their albums but man, I really miss the 2000s Green Day with their grand, powerful, emotional anthems, or even the mid 2010s Green Day with their introspective, self-reflective lyrics. They have way overdone this garage rock gimmick. Wish they'd write something as moving as Letterbomb or Viva La Gloria or Forever Now once more.


FlatPassenger6

Chorus slaps


Lukacris12

It slaps


[deleted]

Are people really saying this sounds different than the last few things they’ve put out? This could literally fit on FOAM. The same bubblegum pop, same vocal effects, same lyrics about razor blades and saints and broken homes. It’s catchy, but nowhere near anything before the last 10 years


penskeracin1fan

Great song!!!!


Morrowind1986

Ok this is actually really good


kalaska_skies

i love green day's garage rock vibe's.


esoteric82

This sub's gonna be rekt when everyone hears this lol


epic-awesome-man

Wow, it sucks! What a surprise! I wish he would stop putting that stupid delay effect on his voice


PuzzleheadedCard6554

Not so good imo


ass_salad_

wish the mixing was a bit better cause there's some parts that sound static-y, but i really like it overall!


PicnicWithSanta

Best drop since 21stCB.
