Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night by Bleachers
Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night is an album by Bleachers, released in 2021. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 18 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Stop Making This Hurt”, on 14 lists with a best position of #6.
Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night, the third Bleachers album, came out on RCA on July 30, 2021. Jack Antonoff, still running the New Jersey project on his own back then, started it in 2019 and finished it while the pandemic kept the world indoors, and you can hear a man working through a lot.
It trades some of the neon, John Hughes-movie gloss of the early records for something rawer and more Jersey: big, heart-on-sleeve rock with Antonoff's voice straining at the seams. "Stop Making This Hurt" is the rousing, fists-up single, all anthemic bluster, and "chinatown" slows things to a hushed, glowing crawl. Reviews were mostly warm, and it peaked at 27 on the Billboard 200.
