Dookie

This album stood up better than it had any right to

What a great punk album that still holds up so well today!

Sharp and to the point like a dead-eyeing rook. Many good songs and probably their peak before sliding into mediocrity. American Idiot wasn’t bad either. The seamless transition into Long View was marvelous

Green Day's third album and major label debut is probably the most fundamental pop/punk album. The album is tight, short, and retains its energy to the last rather tongue in cheek track. Green Day is often the subject of debate when it comes to true punk, but that is not really the point here. This band has an incredible sense of melody and their influences are too broad to pigeonhole them into either pop or punk. 'dookie' takes us through themes of boredom and loneliness that typify the 90s suburban experience. Green Day seeks to break out of that existence, as best seen in 'Welcome to Paradise,' a song about the band finding refuge in the gritty warehouse art/music scene in Oakland, a scene that has largely been priced out with the rise of the tech industry. The music itself draws from hardcore, garage rock, surf rock, and pop to create something that is instantly identifiable as Green Day.

Surprisingly fun! Never listened to Green Day before and thoroughly enjoyed it

Green Day is one of those bands that reminds me too much of my youth and my liking of them will always be judged through that. I remember American Idiot coming out in high school and I just never dug the pop-punk sound that was dominant at the time. Even though this album is from a decade earlier, it still reminds me of that pop punk sound from my youth that I, even after all this years, still have issues with. Still this isn't offensive and it is perfectly fine music with a few bangers here and there so I can't punish it too much. Plus it's short and doesn't overstay its welcome so that's always a huge plus for me.

Birth of pop-punk? Pretty familiar with this album since I'm a 90s kid. Already had Basket Case and Welcome To Paradise added in Spotify. Another record I enjoy but maybe not quite enough to go out and buy it to add to the collection. I think the album works because of how short all the songs are because they are so similar. If the songs were any longer it would start to get a little tedious, but it's super easy to listen to the album from front to back.

Dookie is Green Day's third album and it's their best-selling one. The album brought punk rock to main stream popularity, won the Grammy for Best Alternative Album in 1995, and was certified diamond in the US for over 10 million units sold in 1999. This album has been described as one of the best punk rock albums of all time; many have tried to emulate this album, but they don't quite cut it. Almost every song on this album is great by itself, but when all together they're a masterpiece wrapped up in a jewel case. This is the first time I have listened to this album in its entirety and now I feel like I was missing something all these years. I highly recommend this album to everyone - not just punk rock lovers.

Pop punk classic still holds up

PeterSprinkler loves Dookie

The best 90s album from Green Day. It is lined with hits from longview to basketcase and welcome to paradise to when I come around. The songs in between the hits are mostly just as good, filled with 90s alt rock punk vibes and lyrics about drug use and feeling like a deadbeat. "Pullin teeth" is the one track that seems out of place. The guitar tones and vocal melody are straight out of a 50s rock song which was probably the idea but it seems strange in contrast to the rest of the album. The last song "All by myself" is a silly short song that encapsulates the feelings of joking around with your friends while struggling with going through early adulthood.

Loved basket case of course. Nice early punk music.

étonnamment j'ai passé un plutôt bon moment à écouter leurs morceaux dynamiques et concis

I obsessed over this album back when, eventually wearing out the cassette tape. But it's been a while since I listened to it through. Still a collection of well-crafted, poppy punk songs. It is what it is.

solid

Well, that was fun!

This album is iconic. I remember how big it was when it first came out.

Maybe nostalgia, maybe the singles. Got some kicks

Remembered this a lot more than I thought I would. Compared to what Green Day end up as this is still really enjoyable. Deep as a puddle.

Short, sharp, and to the point. Good stuff.

Bem legal

Green day write brilliant songs for teenagers. But when you grow up they just feel like a nostalgic band. I had international super hits when I was younger so familiar with a lot of these songs. It is one of the best pop punk albums. But not music I’d listen to now Iv grown up.

At the time this album came out, I had zero interest in Green Day, and have mostly managed avoided listening to them too much all these years. Looking at it now, I don't remember what my aversion to the band was. This is an excellent album and it kind of suits my mood today. The songs are short and sweet, punchy but melodic, polished but with a bit of an edge. The band's pop sensibility is second to none and I'm impressed how many hits came out of this album. I generally don't dig Billy Joe Armstrong's vocal style, but he's able to toe a line between insouciant and irritating, something most of Armstrong's peers can't do. Okay Green Day, I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong. Good show. Fave Songs: When I Come Around, Pulling Teeth, She, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, In the End, Coming Clean

Listened to on 4/19/22 4.5/5 Favorite song: Basket case, She I love Green Day and it’s 90s nostalgia - this album did not disappoint and i bopped all day

Couple of classic pop punk songs but the rest of the album sounds pretty similar to each other

excellent alternative album with lots of hits

8/10

Pretty solid, not a lot of variety. 8/10

Já conhecia, muito bom, fazia tempo que não ouvia. Bom revisitar. Melhores músicas: When I Come around, She e Basket Case.

Two great things came out in 1994: me and Dookie

Great album from the 90’s punk classics

Terrific Green Day.

Awesome album with great tunes.

Rating: 8/10 Bests songs: Love galore, Doves in the wind, Drew Barrymore, Prom, The weekend, Normal girl, Pretty little birds

A very lively punk/pop/thrash album, it does have it's moments and loads of energy. On the downside, it does get a bit samey - it could probably go with a track or two that experiment a bit. There's a few classics here (Basket Case, Long View and Welcome To Paradise) that are instantly recognizable. Music is probably a 7/10 but I do like the LP cover art so I've bumped it up to a 4 star.

Jaa, classic. Grijs gedraaid!

Solid. I suspect they did pick the best tracks for single release (and what fine singles, too), and it tapers off a bit in the last third or so, but if you're going to do pop-punk this is how to do it. Not surprising it was such a hit.

a fun romp! removed one star for too much of a masturbation theme

Super influential, gotta love it for what it gave us.

Super fun. Grew up on it so nostalgia definitely plays a part. I do love the production. All of the instrument sounds and tones are incredible. Everything else is just…. You already know. You al. ready. know. Put this on any day.

я думал на треке wolfmother - dimension мне кажется что оказался в лас вегасе, но нихуя. по началу подумал что им по 20 лет и они таким образом всю свою подростковую ненависть к чему то извергают с помощью музыки. ну или же просто то, что накипело. крч атмосфера лас вегаса 9.2/10 все таки строчка из dimension "I got lost in the desert baby" ебашит по лас вегасовским нейтронам мозга сильнее итог - 8/10 не особо люблю неебаца какой быстрый рок, но мне вообще похуй, поставил на атьебись

So much nostalgia

A fantastic album, the best from Green Day for me. Great songs, great performances and some really good singing. An almost 5...4.5 🌟

Heartwarming because this album was my contemporary - but generally still holds as a petulant 90s suburban Ramones album - might be hard to translate across generations.

Great album, full of bangers. Not Green Day's best though, I think!

It's really hard for me to be objective about this one, the nostalgia boost is so high. It's pretty one note but it's a note I still like 20 years after first hearing it and stacked my 256mb MP3 player with this, Warning and Nirvana.

Early pop-punk album I can actually stand? Why yes it is.

Not that shit

4.5/5

Do you have the time to listen to me whine? Okay maybe not for this album. Banger

Lots of bangers, including 90s classics. These songs just have such a fun every to them most of the time. Impossible not the tap for foot or nod your head.

Nostalgic

I was only familiar with the International Superhits, and they remain the only songs I will continue to listen to on their own. In their defense, it's 5/15 tracks, which is a pretty sizeable portion. Solid songs, the rest just don't grab me in 2022.

I missed this when it came out so it was great to see what all the fuss was about.

Pop punk excellence, their first step toward being a stadium band.

Always a classic!

Solid. A bit overplayed, but good punk renaissance.

Billie Joe Armstrong's romantic lyricism, Mike Dirnt's infectious bass lines, and Tre Cool's eccentric drumming combine to amplify the catchy, distortion-heavy pop-punk to greatness. A solid record that helped establish the sound of popular rock for years to come. BEST TRACKS: Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around WORST TRACKS: Emenius Sleepus

A fantastic example of why pop punk is, in fact, one of the best genres of all time. 15 (well, 14) songs that all have bulletproof hooks combined with the angst of punk rock. Together it becomes a super tight collection of no skips, except "All By Myself". Favorite Tracks: "Burnout", "Having A Blast", "Chump", "Longview", "Welcome To Paradise", "Basket Case", "She", "When I Come Around", "Coming Clean", "In The End"

While this is not my favorite Green Day album, it's easy to see the influence that it had on pop punk music that came after it. It's very catchy. I'm not a big fan of all the immature lyrics, but they definitely fit the theme of the album. Favorites: Basket Case, She, When I Come Around

Super fun!

27 years ago? Some amazing classics on here. Yes. This is now a classic album. It can be played on Oldies stations.

Very good album, up my alley in terms of more modern rock music that I enjoy. Not every song was memorable but it did a lot with the consistency it had.

I already know this album to death. I had it copied on tape back when it was released. What a ride it is. Lots of fun and energy.

I remember this album being super divisive with my friends that were into punk. They kept calling these guys sellouts, which I just couldn't wrap my brain around. How could a band be sellouts on their debut album, when they'd only just begun. Wouldn't that just mean that they are what they are? And why give a shit anyhow - the album was great! The album is extremely tight. Billie and Mike's guitars are locked in an intricate and electrified swing dance, each locked to the same beat, but each with their own lightning fast and elaborate roles to play. Tre's drums are pounding, precise and raucously joyous. I think these descriptions stand out the most in the songs "Burnout", "Welcome to Paradise" and "In the End". Beyond the intrumentals though, the lyrics are actually about something, many speaking to the disillusioned and angst-filled vibe of the times. That and masturbation. For me, this album ushered in my punk-rock awakening. It intrigued me and got me interested enough to want to delve into the genre further. And it's that bridging role that this album played for so many, that I think drew ridicule and acclaim alike. Some wanted to keep their punk secret safe and unsullied, whereas others wanted to see what they'd been missing. I for one, was glad for it.

Good album, I enjoyed

Green Day casi siempre ha estado entre mi repertorio, me encanta escuchar algunas de estas canciones mientras hago cualquier otra cosa. Amo

Grew up with this one. As a 14-year-old I thought it was amazing. Not so much now although it will always have great nostalgia value.

Bonjour à tous, malgré les rumeurs colportées par mon adversaire robtinaturnière, je suis toujours bel et bien en vie. Je reviendrai très bientôt vers vous pour vous expliquer les raisons ayant conduites à mon absence.

Could be the nostaligic factor, but I like this album.

- The transition into Longview is fantastic. Standout track of the album. - Reminds me of middle school, but I didn't listen to Green Day too much back then. - Basket Case is still a solid anthem. - All by myself is still fun

The album that made me want to play guitar.

Stand out tracks: When I come around/Basket case/Longview. Rest is very much the same

Very good. Close to being one of the greats 4.5

Great album. A lot of throw backs

I have listened to this one. Good album. Great early Green Day.

Rock. Jag har aldrig tidigare hört ett album som lyckas verkställa ett så rockigt som detta. Det är för att de lyckades skapa exakt den känsla och upplevelse som jag söker i rock. Det vill säga iver och engagemang. Speciellt låten Welcome to Paradise fångade mitt intresse. Åt andra sidan kändes musiken åt det simpla och andefattiga hållet apropå dess instrumentval och strukturer. Däremot förstärkte det musikens klockrena melodier. Renheten och vildheten i musiken samarbetade funktionellt och lyckat. Trots att den simplistiska renheten saknades innehåll och originalitet för att det skulle kunna vara något mer än vad det är vid detta tillstånd.

Brilliant fun album.

For what it is - it’s at the top of its game - I always liked this album and listened to it a lot when it was released - it’s ironic that for this album is their high point - Longview is a fucking banger and there’s a few other proper tunes on this too

Happy punk

I remember this one. My (younger) brother had a copy. I probably was a bit too much of a music snob to admit that I liked it but even I can still sing along with the hits from it now. Great fun. Played it twice just because. 7/10

Simple but amazingly catchy melodies

The album that launched a thousand bands. Being a big pop punk guy, it's weird I never sat down with this, but the radio did kill a few of these. Still a tight effort. Favorite tracks: "Longview", "Pulling Teeth", "She"

All the hits that made green day, a little one note but for 38min very enjoyable

very solid album across the board, but also highly nostalgic. For this genre of rock, I'd consider this a high water mark

Probably the best Green Day album, and I almost gave this a 5 for the nostalgia effect.

Think this was so refreshing in 1994 as the world was getting a little sick of grunge and Nirvana by numbers landfill bands. "Basket case" and "when I come around" are punk rock classics. Stone cold classics! "Welcome to Paradise" and "Longview" are also great but not sure some of the rest of the songs reach the heights of those 4, but they are very much enjoyable none the less. Can we have this version of Green day back please? 4/5

For better or worse, can't listen to Basket Case anymore without thinking of that fucking vocoded Steamed Hams video. Awesome album, discovered some tracks I didn't really know before. Apparently hardcore fans disliked this new, cleaner sound when this album came out, but guys, it's still named Dookie and about mass murder and depression and jacking off. Already Saved: Basket Case; When I Come Around Saved After Listening: Burnout, Longview, Welcome to Paradise*, She

Good stuff, heard most of the singles from this before. It's just simple melodies and three power chords for the whole album, but it's still enjoyable. Shows you can make great music without it being overly complex

4.0 + Nostalgic like Saturday morning cartoons with the same outlandish caricatures (maladjusted mama’s boy, deranged terrorist, lazy stoner, hapless lunatic). The ultimate ode to teenage angst of the 1990s.

A true belter of an album.

First album I ever bought in itunes so this is exciting. Punchy, fun, classic Green Day. 9/10

For what it is - it’s at the top of its game - do you call it pop punk ? I always liked this album and listened to it a lot when it was released - it’s ironic that for this album is their high point and I never liked the stuff where they tried to have serious messages etc - Longview is a fucking banger and there’s a few other proper tunes on this too

A really enjoyable album, especially whenever in the mood for some catchy loud music

Yup, good, short and catchy songs. Dookie is one of my least favorite words but that's the only criticism I have. Also the last song was weak.

4.75

I am not a Green Day fan but this album was awesome.

Always been a big fan of the band (at least up to American Idiot) and my first concert with no tutor was a Green Day one lol, funnily I did not attended to a second one until 15 years later. I did not give any relevant review to American Idiot (it reads only “Stone cold classic”) but I’ll try to say a bit more on this. I was 7 when this one came out but I remember it very fondly, I really liked the energy and the videos and my siblings loved them also so it was a whole family listen, ever since, we liked every subsequent album specially Nimrod. That all stopped with 21st century breakdown but we had a good go with the band. Listening to Dookie today I gotta say is not as good as I remembered but When I Come Around and specially Basket Case are true classics and the album was influential AF, it is a fun album with a lot of charisma and really one to have listened before dying.

mooi, klassieker die ik niet vaak luister, ik ga meer naar 21st en american idiot.

4,3 Throwback thursday! Genieten hoor! Dit album remind me wel ffkes dat ik een green day fan ben!

Damn 1994? Ouder dan ik dacht. Ik heb te weinig Green Day beluisterd in mijn leven. Album is goed, tweede helft vond ik het sterkste. Basket case is natuurlijk chef's kiss. Zeker iets dat ik nog eens ga luisteren

A couple of good catchy songs. (6/10) Favourite Tracks: Basket case, When I come around

Gut Basic Rock Passt zu jeder Stimmung Longview 👌

So many good bass lines

Fun

Hit after hit on this album. Sometimes the songs blur together but that's not necessarily a bad thing since it's so high-energy.

great album. Their best in my opinion

Big fan of Green Day, probably one of my more favorite albums. Definitely full of solid bangers

Been there, done that. Solid album, great intro to Green Day

Some pretty good rock with fun songs. Not exactly my type of rock, and maybe that’s just because the vocalist isn’t my favorite, but it was still great. Instrumentation is fantastic, let those guitars flyyyyy

So much fun and brings back so memories. It’s gritty punk, with excellent production.

I was just telling a friend yesterday that I'd never listened to all of Dookie, what a coincidence! UPDATE: Some of the mixing is absolutely terrible, especially on "Having a Blast." UPDATE 2: More terrible mixing on Welcome to Paradise, weird jumps in loudness.

This is a very solid album. Green Day has their vibe and if you can't abide it, then none of this will work for you. But this songwriting is tight as a drum. Every song here has something melodic to grab on to. Even lowkey lofi closer is pretty crucial.

The punk-rock album. The track are drive and fast.

Green Day's first major label release that was brimming with catchy singles making the airwaves for the early 90's. Its fast pace and wit in lyrics make it a lot more poppy than purists would care to admit.

Perdi o bonde na época mas é bom hein

Favourite Songs: Longview, Basket Case & When I Come Around

Un disco que me mandó de vuelta al colegio. A pesar de no ser gran fan de Green Day ni de un GRAN álbum, imposible no tenerle algo de cariño. Me acordé de las tocas de colegio.

Awesome album. I love early Green Day.

Great iconic album

Love Green Day and hadn't listened to this album in a long time so really enjoyed it (Longview is my favourite on the album).

Listenable. Vocally very repetitive. Like to listen again but not in a hurry.

This album was ahead of its time.

A good reason to love the 90's.

I remember this album positively. I saw them as a punk resurgence although, as I'm learning from 1001, there was no shortage of punk and new wave resurgences.  I like their energy and in particular am impressed by the sheer speed of the drummer's drum strokes. The hits on this album were a lot of fun. I grew weary of their subsequent albums as they became more and more  CFNY and this was after  CFNY became less and less CFNY. I do like this one. 

Like a bit of Green Day

Honestly, this album has no right to be this good but that doesn't change the fact that it is. It's really simple and all of the songs kind of sound the same but I'll be damned if it isn't an effective formula. Also All By Myself absolutely sucks and ruins the ending. Favorite Songs: Burnout, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, When I Come Around, In The End Least Favorite Song: All By Myself Decent 8/10

So many tunes. Such a tight band in their prime. Reminds me of cover bands on my ski season 🏂

Ik weet niet wat het is maar dit album heeft veel waarde vind ik

Very nostalgic. No song over 4 mins...nice.

Never had this back in the day. Only explored it later on. Dunno why 🤷‍♂️ Right up my street!

Great fun. Of its time but still catchy enough

This is a simple album for more simplest times. I enjoyed almost every song here and feel like a young boy again.

Netter als American Idiot

Raw, natural punky sound. Apart from the last song ( which is bizarre) it is a great example of Green Day at their best.

So good, enjoyed it start to finish.

I have a few songs from this that bring back memories but as an album it's not my favorite

Yes! Was obsessed in high school!

Punk rock, con menos punk de lo que se suele reconocer. Estilo costa oeste cañero y con buenos hits

who can hate green day?

First time listening to this since I was a teenager. Enjoyed it, but there’s no reason they shouldn’t have lopped off the first 4 tunes and just started with “Longview.” That song and “Basketcase” still completely work for me after all these years. They should’ve stopped twenty years ago. They could be gearing up for a hell of a reunion tour instead of doing whatever it is they are doing right now that no one gives a rat’s ass about.

Great Green Day album, right from the start they were something different!

A solid Green Day album. There are some songs I don't care for on here but by and large good stuff. Longview is one of my favorite songs of theirs.

good

I was 15 when this came out. The perfect age. Such a great album.

Enjoyable stuff that captures a youthful attitude really well. Like all the playing, especially bass and drums.

Longview is a banger

I'm not the biggest fan, but i appreciate some of green day

First time listening to early Green Day. Much better than I was expecting, given American Idiots melodrama. Solidly enjoyable punk.

This is Green Day at their best. This album is fun, it’s good, it doesn’t overstay its welcome...very nearly a perfect album

Better than I expected. Not a lot of super interesting stuff, but decent energetic punk

Favorite Green Day album 4/5

It was great when I first listened about a decade ago and it's still great now. It's not my favorite GD record, but the feeling I get from listening is still unmatchable. The energy is ridiculous.

Whiny. Deliciously whiny. The only not-fun thing about this album is it makes me realize just how square I was growing up, right next to this scene. It puts the music taste of many of my peers in perspective. There are also obvious parallels to later pop-punk, but Dookie doesn't overstay its welcome in the same way.

12/16 Quintessential 90s punk rock album. Standout Tracks: Burnout, Chump, Basket Case, Sassafras Roots, Coming Clean, All by Myself

GOAT Pop Punk

63

its aigghtt. more of an american idiot truther

7.5 / 10

sympa

a Bit monotonous but a couple bangers in here

This album is indeed, dookie.

All songs have a similar feel: pretty good, not my type of music, but I could see it being someone else's. The last song is very sad.

Kinda fun to listen to but turns into repetitive dreary punk pop very quickly

So many of these are songs that have been popular my whole music knowing life. Classic for a reason

A couple of years ago I was at my daughter's school concert and a band of her classmates played Boulevard of Broken Dreams. That is where Green Day belong, I think, and I had left school a few years before they arrived. They have some tunes, they perform them with a minimum of fuss, but it's kids' stuff really.

Expected to enjoy it more but hasn’t aged well for me as an album. Sounds like a couple of good songs with a lot of quite dull ones in the same vein.

I get a lot of teenage nostalgia from this. My issue is, most of the best tracks are the ones I've heard too many times and don't care for anymore. Maybe it's a "me problem". Best song: Longview

Geht klar, aber kein Meilenstein aus meiner Sicht.

I haven't heard this in forever. I thought it would be better. Every song sort of sounds the same. Basket Case and When I Come Around are classics but nothing else really stands out. Feel a little underwhelmed!

I never got into Green Day when they first showed up and listening to this now hasn't changed that. It is how I remembered it. Just average

The American Stereophonics but with bratty vocals

90s punk rock.

An album I haven't listened to in a very long time. It's fun and brings back a lot of good memories. Not something I'd keep in heavy rotation these days, but it was a blast from my past.

for a pop rock album it was really nice, i like soft music more but this was a whole experience

I had the great misfortune to get both Green Day Albums within 3 days of each other. American Idiot is a god awful album trying to be a rock opera while also trying to be political with no real juice behind it. Dookie on the other hand is the remembrance of what we all want to believe Green Day was ever again or still are. Dookie was not as great as I remember it was when I would steal the cassette from my brother and cosplay an angsty teen who was just yelling without saying much. The well known songs still bang and the others are fine. The older I get the more Green Day just sounds like a band trying so hard to be and pretend they are better bands. Armstrong wanted to be the Sex Pistols so bad he even tries to have a british accent. Green Day is more of a group of characters than a band we should legitimize, if I hadnt given American Idiot a 2 I would have given this that but since its clearly better than that horse feces I give it a 3

i h8 authority

GOODYEAR, YEAH MORE LIKE BAD YE... You sons of bitches. They stole my bit. A record that has been on my "to listen" pile since I realized that there was a world beyond "Wake me Up (when September Ends)." 2005 Green Day had a profound impact on this reviewer's younger self in much the same way a semi-traumatic experience might. I can't listen to ol' Billie Jo croon on the radio without breaking out in a cold sweat and flashing back to being an angsty pre-teen. Now, if you've read more than one of my reviews, you might say "You sound like an angsty pre-teen in most reviews you talentless hack. Kill yourself." I appreciate the feedback. Tough but fair in today's online environment. Every anticipated album ends up disappointing me. This has its moments of lackadaisical punk-adjacent rocking, but also runs a tad whiny in places. All I can think about is the iconic moment in "No Holds Barred" where the villain tells Hulk Hogan (RIP Thomas - Rip It Brother) that he shit himself with one of the most cringeworthy deliveries of horrible dialogue ever released to the public. What is the smell? It is indeed, Dookie. Now where's my cheque, Jack? The Ripster doesn't work for free, dude. 3 GENRE: Nostalgia (presumably)

Some good songs, but overall the singer is annoying, and the music is not very creative.

As much as I like the best of Green Day this was a very repetitive and one note album. Fine but as full of bangers as I expected.

Buenos bajos, pero siento que es un disco más del montón. Algunas canciones destacables y conocidas por todos. Suena a cualquier otro disco de greenday

I've been a Green Day hater for as long as I can remember. But after hearing that their 90s output is actually worth listening to, I've decided to give their earlier material another shot. Dookie is a landmark 90s classic with over 20 million copies sold in the US alone. That alone is very impressive for an album such as this. I guess you had to be there to really get what made this album such a phenomenon back in the day. Basket Case and When I Come Around are iconic 90s anthems that really deserve their status as the most overplayed songs that appear in frat movies. Outside of that there isn't much noteworthy stuff or anything offensive either. Overall it's a fun pop punk album that doesn't overstay it's welcome, decent stuff. 6/10

I know and like a bunch of Green Day songs - I currently have 16 songs by them liked on Spotify. I think some of their stuff is great - but I've always thought their albums were a little spotty and have never liked a whole album by them front to back. For example - I currently have 6 songs liked on this album. Liked songs are "Longview", "Welcome to Paradise", "Basket Case", "She", "When I Come Around", "F.O.D." After listening 3 times I added 2 more songs "Pulling Teeth" and "All By Myself". This album has a bunch of great and some iconic songs - but also some forgettable filler. Liked songs on Spotify: 8/15 Rating: 3/5

Started off shaky, but the blowout singles off this album are still as fun and interesting as they were three decades ago. Their sound blends too much on the last half of the album, making the album cohesive but a little repetitive to me as a listener. Favorites: Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, Sassafras Roots, F.O.D.

its fun, catchy, really good but it definitely is NOT Punk. A bastard child of punk and bubblegum pop this 90s pop punk has way to clean production to be really fun .

The first half of the album was very nonspecific. The latter half had more famous songs that were honestly just okay.

A couple classics

Mostly ok, but bit lame

The first half of this album kinda carried

O album é bom, porém prefiro american idiot. Minhas músicas preferidas foram welcome to paradise, longview e basket case.

Meh, it’s Green Day. Good classics, but it’s a lot of grunge pop rock :/

Longview into Welcome to Paradise is fantastic - the rest is meh...

Cool stuff I didn’t listen to when I was young but appreciate now.

very green day

6/10 tekrar tekrar dinlemem ama güze

5/10

vão me massacrar se eu disser que não sou a maior fã de green day? mas gosto da estética

ну прикольный альбомчик чисто летний саундтрек но я не очен такое люблю наверн я бы сказала 7/10

It was good

fave song: F.O.D.

Very solid album, you can see the foundations of what made the Green Day sound being built here. The last song threw me off.

3.5

I appreciate the talent and the artistry behind it. The significance of this album cannot be disputed. But I really hate it.

I can actually handle some Green Day in small doses, but this was too much for me. Since it’s such a stylized sound, it ends up blending together after only a few songs.

The quintessential Millennial punk rock album that got way too famous to be punk. It's a great album and I can't deny it. The subject matter of every song is real and relatable. The sound is clean while also rowdy and energetic. BJA has such a great Californian punk-rock voice and the major keys in each song really bring it forward as an accessible album. The bass guitar is the star of the show and is absolutely perfect. I'll give this one a 7/10 because I know I've got one more Green Day album on this list which is the 10/10 I'm waiting for.

El álbum que llevo al boom de los Green. Me gustó mucho si mal o bien no es el mejor, es un estilo mucho más hard y de la identidad inicial de la banda, es bueno. Sólido 3.5 que redondeo en 4

Con todo el respeto que le tengo a Green Day, nunca fui muy de rock norteamericano de garage. Asi que cuando el primer disco que me recomendó esta pagina fue este...me dio risa. Igual lo escuché, y lo disfrute mucho. Todo suena muy bien junto, no hay guitarras molestas, ni voces planas. La bateria siempre bien, las letras muy acordes a cierto periodo de la vida y de la historia. Guardé varias canciones.

Favorite track(s): Burnout, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, When I Come Around

It reminds me high school

Would I listen again: yes This would have gotten a much higher rating from me 10 years ago lol. However basket case is a bop and I like a bit of weird pop punk vibes on occasion

Easy listening. Classic punk. Vocals are too soft relative to the instrumentals imo. Hard to hear lyrics at times.

edgy

There are some fun ones but it could have been half the length.

Alright not my kind of music though

Pretty good! I feel like I don’t get a whole lot from listening to alt rock but I like that it’s an upbeat vibe (mostly) and makes me want to move! And the familiar songs in this one (basket case and when I come around) are great, ofc. I liked the ending song too! Felt super different, I wondered if it’d changed to a new album.

I have heard a few songs off of this album already! I did like it a lot but a lot of the songs sounded very similar to me

solid album. obvious hits but the rest of the left much to be desired imo

3 feels too strong, 2 feels too low. I wish I could give it a 2.5

3,2/5

i mean...

This album is like stepping back in time, it’s so resolutely 90s. Not sure where its legacy sits this far out. The singles alone invoke memories in you but it does feel a little dated. ‘When I Come Around’ is an essential 90s playlist addition but I’ve always gravitated more to their later stuff.

Lol, I lived through the 90s. I didn't even like Green Day and I feel like this was the soundtrack of high school. Good for nostalgia value and feels like well crafted pop rock.

Fun, pop-punk. A little formulaic but it’s good to jump around to.

Se kuulosti niin Green Dayltä kun Green Day ny kuulostaa. Ei oikein oman sortin musiikkia, menee THPS taustalla oikein hyvin, mutta vähän tylsää noin keskimäärin omaan mieleen. Not good, not bad.

fine. never been a massive green day fan but this was a decent listen

Really awesome singles, I really like half of the album tracks, the other half of them all kind of blend together BUT solid record.

- first song: i dont understand the lyrics at all mdr (for all the songs actually) - love the album cover, so intricate and funny - feels like i'm in a 2000s series - crazy transition between Chump and Longview - love the energy! - for now my fav song is She + When I come around - the melody sometimes feels a little repetitive/too similar between songs (though that may be because i'm listening to the whole album with no breaks) - i like a few songs but i dont see myself listening to the whole album (not in a playlist just the album) - 6.5/10

I was never a big fan of Green Day. I acknowledge their importance in music, but I just never resonated with them. But these songs are very catchy and this really sounds good for a punk record in the 90s.

2.5

Not so much my thing.i like the hits. Basket Case and Welcome To Paradise. They just sound angry on the rest of the songs

I listened to this a bit on release. It's OK but only 'Basket Case' really stands out.

Pop punk finally went full pop. I don't think I had ever listened to this album in one sitting but feel I have heard every song at some point. Nothing objectionable about it. And Longview is definitely a banger.

Fine

Solid album, never been a big Green Day guy

Melodramatic fools indeed

5.5/6, muy banda de secundaria con toda la batería y bases fuertes (tan biónica yankee)

No way this is THIS old. I definitely felt like a teenager in the 90's listening to this tho, all of these have to have been played in disney films too. But honestly, I don't know what to rate this really.

This album came out when I was in middle school, so I’ve heard it a bajillion times and I know every nook and cranny. My first girlfriend had the poster on her bedroom wall. So yes, she was awesome. The songwriting craft is strong, the rhythm section is phenomenal and the subject matter is appealingly self-deprecating.

I think I had higher hopes for this album than it delivered. I know Dookie is often considered one of the top punk albums of this generation and is often cited as a reference when music nerds make an argument that Green Day is actually a super legit band and not a sell out like some people say they are. The songs that I knew I liked, were good, but I didn't quite feel the level of revelation I was holding out for.

This is my first album that was from the generator. I probably should have stuck with my original plan of going through by year. Music is often a product of its time. When an album becomes influential, the original can sound tired and derivative even though it was the first fumbling attempt at a style. Tastes change. It is harder to see influences if you don't have the history or the musical vocabulary in which to judge it. I was concerned about all of this because I was not a huge fan of these folks at the time the album came out. How would it hold up? This is the first time I listened to it all the way through. So, let me explain... I was in my early twenties when I first heard this album. I was already steeped in early punk and glam rock. This seemed like a rehash of 80s but with a more suburban bent. Anger was replaced with boredom and disaffection. The goofier moments of The Ramones and the energy of pop came through. The music was everywhere. It wasn't intended for me -- I was from a rural area and living in a city. This seemed like a step backwards in terms of music that I was listening to. It was the year of NIN's Downward Spiral which already less angry than Broken. At the alt nights or later closing clubs in the city across the water (Gatineau), some of these songs would play and the floor would crowd. Boredom you can dance to. MuchMusic had them on fairly heavy rotation. Taken out of context and their impact on music at the time, some of these songs still have an energy that shines through. It is hard to talk about the band's impact and how it influenced many other sound-a-likes that followed. Their longevity is not all nostalgia. This album captures a feeling and time quite well. Yes, there is some datedness. Some specific notes: "Welcome to Paradise" reminds me of the Bangles "We Got the Beat" "In the End" is probably my favourite off this album. Something about it sounds rude and sarcastic while being melodious. "All by Myself" was the track I relistened to right away. Sonny and Cher vibes crossed with Muppets. Recently listened to some 50s rock and you can hear echoes of that. The hits tend to still be listenable and nostalgic in a particular way. For rating; for influence and impact, it would rate a 2.5. I am using the rating loosely as 1 - won't listen to 5 - put on heavy rotation or favourites list. So, this would rate a 3 overall. If it is at a party, might move away from the speakers but not leave the room. Would probably bop my head and dance or tap my feet to a few of the numbers but wouldn't loose track of the conversation or put my beer down.

Hyperactive pop-punk fueled by buzzing power chords, punchy drumming, rubbery bass lines, and bratty vocals crashes forward like a shopping cart racing downhill through suburbia—immature, loud, and far more infectious than it probably should be. The album turns boredom, anxiety, and self-destruction into tightly wound hooks that rarely overstay their welcome while simply staying energetic

longview was the best

I've heard worse. A lot worse on this list. I also wouldn't buy it or put anything on my playlist. probably a 2.75 that I will kick to a 3.

i thought this came out in the 2000s

An old favourite from my youth. Solid American pop punk.

No me resulta atractivo pero tampoco me molesta escucharlo. Welcome to paradise esta bueno me divirtió. Queda guardado por unos días, probablemente despues lo saque.

3,5/5

I just dont really like Green Day except for a few songs

Тут лишь хочется процитировать Славу КПСС: "Весёлый и тупой, как музыка Green Day" Хотя мне не прям весело было, пока слушал

3.5, имхо переоценен, выезжает больше на ностальгии скорее, а так музыка не то, чтобы интересная, скорее просто энергетика драйвовая

It was good. Didn't impress me too much.

Personal Enjoyment overall: medium Replay? for specific moods only

It's funny how an album like this can feel nostalgic, but it does. I enjoyed it well enough as a representation of what was ultimatley one strain of 90s-00s pop.

450 346-PUNK

Aside from "American Idiot" Green Day has always been a singles band for me - like most pop groups. It's the same here, there's a lot of very forgettable filler in between "Longview", "Basket case" and "When I come around". It's still a good album, but far from essential and far from being punk, of course.

Green Day

Fun mais est ce que je réécouterai ? Les prémices des harmonies vocales signature du groupe sur Welcome to Paradise

Lidt nostalgi.

Beter dan verwacht, maar alsnog vrij standaard jaren 90 punk. Niet perse voor mij. Met 38 minuten ook een kort album.

[REVISIT] I like Green Day. About as much as anyone who isn't a hardcore fan or anything, I mean. Having said that, I'm typically more interested in the work found on their following records (up through American Idiot) than this. She is probs their best song though. --- Fave track(s): She, Having a Blast, Basket Case

They sound like a latter day Monkees. Its true, you know it is. In a good way.

6/10… pop punk / teen rock / *1994

Not my cup of tea typically, but appreciate classics like basket case

A bit surprising and disappointing that as a rock fan who was 26 when this album first came out that I do not think I gave it a full listen until now. Unfair to develop views based on a few listens of hit songs and bits of what I read. Will I go back and play "Dookie" on my own; probably not. This type of rock does not hold interest for me now. Of the three big hits, I genuinely enjoy "Longview," but find "Basket Case" and "When I Come Around" unappealing. That fact alone might limit further plays. Some of the unfamiliar tracks were solid, such as the first three songs and "Welcome to Paradise." They slammed power chords in a tuneful manner. "Pulling Teeth" and "She" featured some variety in vocal, and putting the bass more in the front than Billie Joe Armstrong's Who-Ramones-Jam guitar. Armstrong certainly has a way with melody, which allows the bass and quite often the drums to flourish. Or do the bass and drums lift up his songs? Maybe with more listens (I expect American Idiot will make an appearance on this list), I will be able to move past my dislike of Armstrong's vocals. One day, Thom Yorke's vocals stopped bothering me, and Radiohead became a great band to my ears. It never happened with Morrissey. Like The Foo Fighters and White Stripes, Green Day has helped breath a little life into the decrepit 30 year decline of the rock and roll corpse. I respect them for that contribution.

Unexpectedly favorable toward it, but tracks blend together and I can't Billie Joe Armstrong's voice, but I'd call it decent. Might even put it on again. Perfect length of an album.

Great to hear some of these tunes again.

It's good, not my thing but I liked a few of the songs

Never been a huge green day fan but they undeniably have some catchy sing-along hits. This album in particular is full of them. Is this considered the greatest pop punk record ever? (If we don't include the buzzcocks)

very very loud, makes me want to rebel and run away

A purely American album, however that feels

Todas las canciones suenan igual :(

ja, hab nicht zugehört, idk

This was perfectly acceptable to me. It was a tight, coherent album, and the tracks I already knew (“Welcome to Paradise”, “Basket Case”, and “When I Come Around”) are great. The rest didn’t live up to those heights but did sound exactly how I imagined a Green Day album of this era would sound like. Which is fine, just not entirely my bag.

green day isn't rly my thing

Quite loud but some good songs like basket case

My parents bought this for me when I was very young so it might be the first cd I ever owned. Every song begins with a 10-15 second period of nostalgia but once that’s over I have to ask myself how I actually feel about these songs and the answer most times is “they’re just OK.”

Dookie by Green Day was an interesting listen. It has some really good songs, and even though it’s closer to my usual taste than other albums I’ve heard in this challenge, it still didn’t fully click with me. ‘Welcome to Paradise’ was definitely the standout track for me. The album started strong, but as it went on, it began to feel a bit repetitive, and the last few songs were harder to get through because they sounded too similar. Overall, it’s a solid album and it sounds good, but it didn’t leave a strong impact on me. For me, American Idiot is still the better Green Day album.

stereotipo di una festa americana. giovanile e ribelle, forse un filo commerciale

It's was good

A couple if great songs.

Felt cool.

Sounds like junior high

Tranku ir gera. Linksma pasiklausyt.

Goes hard and fast and so ran by at a fair lick. In retrospect, it sounds to me like every 90s teen movie soundtrack at the time for better or for worse. Nothing technically amazing heard in it, but then it doesn’t profess to do much beyond catchy pop punk songs. Nothing technically amazing my cup of tea though.

I like several songs but is too much rock for me. An album for Disney rock girl. 2,5/5 ⭐️

Hmm kinda cool, reminiscence of the 90s rock

Du bon rock en général mais qui me fait ni chaud ni froid, me fait penser à The Cure également

Me gustó mucho! Tiene 3 canciones muy conocidas, rockerito copado. 3 estrellas

Nostalgic. Probably my favorite Green Day

Didnt love the album as ive never been a big fan of pop punk and the countless number of bands that then tried to recreate this sound. Still, i enjoyed a few tracks like longview, welcome to paradise, when i come around, and In the end as they displayed how talented the band is on their individual performances.

Still their best album, I think. I'm sure I listened to it a hundred times when I was twenty.

raw

Een klassieker in de punkpop, maar geen fan…

Fun, classic pop punk tunes that stand the test of time surrounded by a lot of same-y stabs at the same song structure and style. Liked it, don’t love it.

I really want to give this one 3 1/2. It's funny to listen to it right after back in black because I see both of those album albums similarly – I love the sound and there are three or four great songs on each of them, but the rest is just kind of meh songwise. I saw them play this whole album live a couple years ago and felt similarly. American idiot though is a five star album IMHO.

Pretty fun, relatable lyrics. not much variation tho.

Muy bueno, otra vez: no es mi estilo, pero lo disfruté. Las canciones que más me gustaron fueron: -longview -welcome to paradise -basket case (clásico)

I like the sound - but there is a lack of nuance and variety.

Ok

so,so
