Saviors should have been called “Look Ma, No Brains”

I’ve thought on this long and hard. It’s nearly impossible to criticize your favorite band of all time but Saviors has been such a torn experience for me. I love a lot of the songs and I can hear what should have been an absolute banger of an album yet, I often find myself skipping songs on this one. At points it just feels disjointed and without a true direction.

I sat down one night after seeing the “Look Ma, No Brains” single artwork and put together what I think Saviors should have been, an album called “Look Ma, No Brains” with this album cover and the following tack list

  1. The American Dream is Killing Me
  2. Look Ma, No Brains”
  3. Bobby Sox
  4. 1981
  5. One Eyed Bastard
  6. Goodnight Adeline
  7. Dilemma
  8. Living in the 20s
  9. Saviors
  10. Coma City
  11. Father to a son
  12. Strange days are here to stay

Father Of All Motherfuckers and Saviors?

So, I have a question. Why does Father All get such hate and why does Saviors get such mixed feelings? I personally love both albums with Father Of All being in my top 5 Green Day albums of all time! It is slowly actually becoming my favorite. I love the classic rock n roll vide, it’s like Bowie, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Buddy Holly filtered through a Green Day sound. And I think Saviors is just a really fun and catchy. I really pleasant listen when I feel sad! So I guess I’m just asking for help understanding other people’s thoughts and feelings towards these albums.

My favorite Green Day albums are 1. Insomniac 2. Father Of All Motherfuckers 3. 21st Century Breakdown 4. Dookie 5. Saviors
