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

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

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

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

Haven't listened to this since the 90s. Why start now?

Great run from longview to when i come around. Couple of skips for me outside of that

Not really my thing but not too bad

ascoltato distrattamente però ci sono grandi pezzi

Great Album! Loved it all, would put it at 4 but more on 3x

Consistent but unremarkable except for some key tracks. Basket Case slaps though 2.5/5

Very good stoned rock album 3/5- GEMV (17.03.2026)

Pretty cool, most of the songs honestly sound pretty similar but they've all got their charm. Best songs are "welcome to paradise" and "she" in my opinion

OK Dookie.

Ok

HEAR ME OUT, guys, besides basket case and When I come Around, this album is fairly unmemorable...

I don't like Green Day at all, so I was surprised when I realized that I was enjoying the album, still not a fan tho

I still like “When I Come Around.” Otherwise, not really my thing but catchy enough in spots.

Not yet the best record of the band (that will forever be American Idiot for me, but mostly because it got released in a very formative time for me), but the one that firmly put their name on the charts. Still not lyrically at their best here, the songs mostly blend into one long wall of sound. But it's enjoyable and undeniably Green Day-ish. "Basket case" the most recognisable and beloved tune.

when i come around ... i might want to hear it again. but not in the next years.

Mid

A welcome resurgence of punk in the grundge era. 't was good to listen with a video game.

This is basically punk turned into a pop product, the first one of an era of shit punk revival. The clean production and catchy melodies are not really the kind of punk I grew up loving. Still, hooks are everywhere, the energy is there, and the album flies by. Simple, efficient.

Oh wow - going back to 1994 for this - I had forgotten how long they have been around! Basket is the highlight, but a few other tracks stand out, such as Paradise and When I Come Around I find Green Day can get a bit samey, so its 3/5 for me

Really good! Better than you'd think -

Longview: bass + drums are great; welcome to paradise: great guitar riffs and some harmonies; basket case: classic!

No es mi mermelada del todo. Para mi gusto, le faltan ser algo más crudo, y menos producto, pero no ha estado mal.

A classic from my childhood. I’ve never been a huge fan of Greenday, but if I was to have a favorite record of theirs it would be Dookie for sure.

als pop album kan dit er wel nog mee door

7/10 - not as good as American Idiot but still worth a listen

Hey look it's pop-punk! American Idiot made a big impact on my high school life, but never actually listened to this album before. Good album and really resonates with those angsty/melancholic feelings without getting bogged down into depression. Not necessarily my style but a good listen nonetheless!

One of those albums that was just a product of its time. Probably great in the 90s, but listening to this album today was not a great experience. The album has a couple of all time bangers

This is actually not to bad, probably the best of Green Day.

Not bad, pretty lively and not too long. Bit same in places but some good songs!

upbeat nice drums punk kinda repetitive rythym

Я поставлю 7/10, не оч мое, но словил вайб подростковой группы, играющей в спортивном зале на выпускном

Eh

Critically I think it’s pretty vanilla but it’s got a decent BPR for a debut album. Anecdotally I can trace my taste in music to this exact record. I have childhood memories tied to this album. Like, finding out that my Dad owned this on CD as a child and how my older brother’s friends thought that was so cool. I have scanned this album art for hours. Good memories

Álbum mid, la verdad parece de pende viejo que no sabe superar o de pibe adolescente rebelde Yankee promedio. Probablemente marcó un camino de ese estilo de música grande en ese género y estilo, pero no es del todo mi preferencia. Me gusto pero hasta ahí.

Pööönky, biz revoluzer vibes & Fun. aber halt nöd mini musik des vertrauens. Basket case absolute banger tracks. 3 dunkies for for dookie by the dukes

A little heavy on the electric guitar at times but not all together unpleasant. Catchy lyrics and vocals. 3.5 on the Richter scale.

Some all time classics on this album Nice punk album but lots of filler songs

Classic Green Day.

Hadn't heard this in years and still has some great stuff on there. Not going to be on repeat but did not mind hearing this again. Some great singles.

This is a decent album, that shows a band now able to construct some catchy songs while maintaining a punk-influenced sounds. Ultimately though I think it does suffer from some of the common pitfalls of pop-punk: the sound becoming quite repetitive, the vocals having an annoying style (though less true for Armstrong than others in the genre), and themes that come across as a bit whiny, at least for me. Probably best enjoyed at about age 17!

Enjoyed the thrashing around

I like Green Day a lot and American Idiot would make my 1001 always. This is very much in style, but maybe just a tad samey?

Classic poppunk album

Not their best work. I prefer the version of Green Day that moves away from the punk elements and slows down their songs, like Boulevard Of Broken Dreams, or Longview. Still though, it's Green Day, and Green Day are pretty good. High 3.

I didn't realize that Green Day was making music in the 90s!

This was pretty good. The hits from this album are classic.

classy. 3.4

Removing the nostalgia from the equation, it's average.

Eh im boy fussed a lot sound the same

Fine album, it is very popular for a reason. It is a very American album and gives me capitalist punk vibes. I get the hype, but not an amazing album in my opinion.

A great example of contemporary rock music. No silly sound effects. No skits to talk through. Just a a few guys jamming on their instruments with lyrics people can understand and follow. A good listen all around.

🎵oh these songs all sound the same🎵 🎵woah these songs all sound the same 🎵yeah these songs still sound the same 🎵’cuz these songs are all the same 🎵how did they get such critical acclaim 🎵when these songs all sound the same🎵 🎵even the hits start to sound lame🎵 🎵how come these songs all sound the same🎵 https://www.mureka.ai/song-detail/WN2cHwRf8UUBAa1mhocG5p?is_from_share=1

Hasn't aged well. 3 stars for the two great pop tunes. Haven't listened to it for awhile, surprised how dull it is.

Hard to believe this album is over 30 years old.

Way better than American Idiot, that’s for sure. But it’s only getting a rating this good because of nostalgia. That ain’t saying much.

el final de chump es molesto, welcome to paradaise se queda

Hirveästi ei ole tullu Green daytä kuunneltua. Junnuna olisi ehkä voinut mennä, mutta nyt juna on auttamattomasti mennyt tällaisen vehkeilyn osalta. Kakkosen ja kolmosen välistä arvotaan vaikka kolkki

Eipä tässä oikein noiden kahden hittibiisin lisäksi ollut mitään mitä olisi jaksanut kuunnella toista kertaa, mutta pannaan Basket Casen ansiosta kuitenkin kolkki.

I certainly enjoyed it more than I expected - not sure ai get the hype though

Fun in the moment, didn't truly resonate

Some great songs on here but other than the songs you definitely know, it doesn't feel anything exceptional

Ordinarily I'd say that if an album has at least a few bangers that are worth replaying (which this one does) then it can't possibly be anything less than good, but unfortunately the vocals/lyrics on some songs, especially on the last track are bad enough to drop this whole album into mid territory for me. I can appreciate the cultural impact this album had while also saying that I'm not a huge fan of it overall.

Even as someone who likes angsty music, this isn’t really my jam. I felt like none of the songs stood out. That being said, there are a couple quintessential Green Day songs on here that I can always appreciate, and it’s not a bad record. It’s just mid. Favorite song: Basket Case Least favorite song: All By Myself (the drummer should never be allowed to sing again bc wtf)

Overhyped in my opinion. But got some good Songs

Quality. Not my thing, but it’s good and worth the listen.

Other than the hits on the radio, I have never listened to this album. Pretty silly, but then again we were all in our 20s when this came out.

I don't care about Green Day. But this has brought me back to when I was 18 and this album had just come out. It was quite a jump from their Lookout Records stuff that I was used to. This album represents when teenage angst went mainstream. But I can't deny the songs are catchy, poppy and the lyrics funny, even though you have to be of a certain age for them to be relatable. It was nice to revisit this as a nostalgic piece, especially in my near middle age. I'm ok to forget it for a long time now. I'll enjoy going back to this when I'm 60.

I was quite excited to see this one pop up as today's assignment, seeing as the only Green Day album I've ever actually listened to (American Idiot) is one I enjoy a fair bit and a lot of folks seem to talk up Dookie as the band's best work. My thoughts about this album are somewhat similar to Never Mind the Bollocks – I appreciate what it did for punk as a whole, but the songs are pretty much all interchangeable to me and I don't have particularly strong feelings about any of them. I would probably prefer listening to Dookie over the Sex Pistols album (pop punk is more my speed than unadulterated punk rock), but only marginally. Oh, fun fact: I'm related to Chris Freeman, whose band Pansy Division was on the Dookie Tour in 1994. That happened three years before I was born, so I never got to meet the band or anything like that – however, I did get some clout in middle school by telling other kids that my mom's uncle was in a queercore band that opened for Green Day! Good times... Highlights: Chump, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, When I Come Around, F.O.D.

consistent, but not to thrilling

so mid

Not bad, but not brilliant either. Slides off the brain like rain on a sunny day. It's fine. Cute, even.

I was never tempted to listen to Green Day even as a teenager. If American "punk" rock didn't do it for me then, it was unlikely to now. Still, Basket Case is a classic and I have to give this album credit for doing what it does well, even if what it does is fairly uninteresting.

Samey but tight.

Basket Case is top tier

Fan of American Idiot but this is not as good. A few decent tracks.

I've only listened to Green Day from this album and its kind of what I expected. Pretty solid. 6.5/10

A ver, creo que no soy chica Green Day. Admito que hay algunas que me gustaron y estan buenas. Sin embargo, un álbum completo de punk y rock intenso me cuesta. Me da lastima no tener las herramientas para opinar objetivamente porque debe ser buen álbum. Igualmente no voy a dejar de darle oportunidades.

When Green Day exploded with this album, I wasn’t particularly interested and harbored some snobbery. How the fuck you call yourself punk when you’re getting played all over the radio, and whatnot. Time — and the fact that their hits are no longer ubiquitous — has given me some new perspective. The band is tight and good with vocal harmonies and power chords, and their songs have a sneering, poppy likability, colored with a generous helping of disaffected slacker culture. But I like the gravitas of American Idiot better, and if I’m in the mood for punk with melody I’m still reaching for Buzzcocks, Dag Nasty or the Huskers before this.

I dont love punk pop but this album does it so well.

Do you have the time to listen to be whine about nothing and everything all at once? That line is likely stuck in most people's brain like a piece of shrapnel from the war. I don't really know how to judge this album. It was inescapable for a period of time to the point where it's hard to tell if I ever actually liked the music or if it just became a part of the background of it all.

look, i love Billie Joe Armstrong okay my bi icon Album cover is cute i like it yea okay this is emo lmao love that for them. Maybe its the recordings, but I can't really hear my guy singing. Anyway, its a lot of whining haha, so I am not missing out on a lot. Also no offence, but all the songs sound the same... Guitar's great tho

Before: In case you don't read anything else I wrote here, I just want to say right off the bat there is NOTHING PUNK about this album. If this is punk then the word is meaningless. Still, I think a liked Green Day's music a tiny bit but not much back then as they don't have any tracks on my favorites by years list for 1994, or any other year for that matter. They're way too main stream for my tastes. For reference here are my top albums from 1994. I might be able to squeeze Dookie in some where between 15 - 20. Rank Artist Name Album Name ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Portishead Dummy 2 Beastie Boys Ill Communication 3 Stereolab Mars Audiac Quintet 4 Soul Coughing Ruby Vroom 5 Korn Korn 6 Frank Black Teenager of the Year 7 G. Love & Special Sauce G. Love And Special Sauce 8 Jawbox For Your Own Special Sweetheart 9 The Prodigy Music for the Jilted Generation 10 The Magnetic Fields Holiday 11 Ween Chocolate and Cheese 12 Radiohead The Bends 13 The Proclaimers Hit the Highway 14 Low I Could Live In Hope During: Two songs in, yep I remember this sound from the 90's. I'm sure they are very good but as I said, too main stream for my taste. I'll probably give it a 3. Definately would not be in my 1001 essential albums list. Time to turn down the volume and work on other tasks. Then "Longview" comes on. Not too bad, fun even. Maybe I'll add that to my 1994 list, just because. After: I have to give it a three. Maybe it deserves a higher rating but I would never play this album of my own volition. There are so many better choices out there. For that reason the highest rating I can give it is a 3. Looking at the Wikipedia article I come across this confusing line, "Regarding its legacy, Dookie has been labeled by critics as one of the greatest punk rock albums of all time." In what way is this punk? It's totally mainstream power-pop-rock. I know that's not a recognized genre but that's what it is imo.

Calpyurnia vibes

Amazing 🤩! Green day is one of the bands I've been wanting to get into and having it recommended to me was the perfect time to listen 👂.

i liked the production and instruments, it felt a little bit monotonous for sure but overall i enjoyed it. „basket case” remains one of my favourite tracks of all time

Not a big fan

It’s a good not a banger

Favorite song from this album: She As a big punk rock listener, I enjoyed this album quite a while ago. Energetic, fast, and nostalgic.

nostalgic

The most interesting thing about going back to this one is the sense that in the end, this crud was a lot better than the later crud (broadly, Indie Rock) that came out in the later formative years of my youth. I don’t connect with it like I did when I was 12 or whatever, but it at least feel like an earnest attempt to express SOMETHING. Later Green Day can kick rocks, it was a mistake to try to be Serious in any way, but this is a high praise 3.

그린데이 9월기상송 말고 노래 들어보는 거 처음인듯 되게 국밥락인데 적당히 가볍고 신나고 생각보다 맘에 드네요

Great generation album

It's a Green Day album, Basket Case being the best song on the whole thing. I really enjoy Green Day's later albums but in a pinch this will do.

It's decent and theres a couple of good tracks but its not as packed as American Idiot. Also the title just makes me roll my eyes.

Classic punk rock songs on here but the style gets a bit old

Cool white 2000s garage music.

It's got some classics but the songs in between those don't really capture the interest. It's pop-y and fun and makes you feel punk without needing to commit to being punk. Not quite pop punk but not quite not pop punk

Ahh yes, one of the most highly overrated bands in existence. This is a lazy man’s punk with sell out capabilities that don’t necessarily work. It’s no secret that Billie Joe was a more tolerable person when he was addicted to whatever it was he was addicted to. Like most artists, the music suffers when their creativity is blocked by being sober. The addiction hadn’t taken them over during the time of this album so you see its weakness compared to their more radio friendly albums that came out later in the 2000’s. I’ve tried to listen to this album numerous times over the years and I can never find it anything more than middle of the road trash that you choose to run over rather than drive close to it so it blows off the road .

pre 9/11 green day cant beat post 9/11 green day top track: she

I hate to be the cliche punk who’s all like “Green Day was at their best before they sold out when they were most easily comparable to Buzzcocks and Hüsker Dü” but I’m sorry I gotta be. This is a good album, let’s be clear, but it has nothing on 39/Smooth or even Kerplunk! And those are two albums I only listened to in the past week as opposed to this one which I’ve been listening to since I first got into punk music. Actually I think that’s why this worked less for me this go around, I can really see how this is a much less cohesive album compared to the previous two. Obviously being a pop-punk band it’s expected that this is based largely around the singles, which are still great! Well, mostly great, Longview doesn’t really do it for me anymore, and I think the Kerplunk! version of Welcome to Paradise slightly edges out the Dookie one, but Basket Case and When I Come Around(best track) are classic for a reason. I’ll also still champion Burnout and Having a Blast as on par with the singles. F.O.D was for a brief moment my favorite song here but I think it needed an extension on the heavy distorted second half, it’s a little too even. Here’s the thing though, the rest of the album just meshes together, they feel rushed out. Those last two records all had a pretty consistent level of quality throughout, but here it feels like we got a strong opening, strong singles, and then just some mindless jamming on a few chords inbetween. I know there’s definitely people who have some strong connection to She or Sassafras Roots but I couldn’t pick them out in a lineup. This album just feels like the simplified version of the band, they saw their shot at glory and took it with both hands. But in that case you would think every song would have multiple killer hooks in it but nope, I guess they just poured everything into those singles, the most pop move they could have done. Compare this with Smash from the same year and it’s night and day, that album also has huge pop choruses and cleaner mixing than what came before, but The Offspring still kept their edge and deployed those singles as a deceptive lure into an album that largely still stayed true to their skate punk and melodic hardcore roots. You can go pop without dumbing down. Anyways I wouldn’t be surprised if I become one of those people who likes Insomniac more.

No such thing as a bad Green Day album, but I like other releases from them better.

1/13/26. They got a couple good hits out of this one, bit tiring listening to the whole thing though. 5/10

I like the energy of this album. I always like Billy Joe Armstrong's voice.

A little out of my comfort zone, but I liked it

Besser als Durchschnitts-Rock.

well done polished album that right away goes off the core themes and vibe of being bored stuck in a loop in the suburbs in the 90s. Enjoyed the sardonic voice to it classic from pop punk. I can also understand why a lot of fans felt they sold out with this album and join a record label. Great album, will revisit for sure.

I wonder if there was a sound like this before them. Now their style has been a major influence in the genre of pop punk. I think that sense comes from the general Californianess in the music. Bright is the best word for it. The general punk sounds from the UK blended with the carefree of Cali. The ending of Chump shows some interesting artistry that hints at why they lasted, it shows there is more talent than just some kids making noise. Longview, that's almost a signature bassline and the sound most people kind of when they think of GreenDay.

1 song i like in particular. Ok listening

This album is very bland. It feels like listening to the same song over and over. I guess Green Day are that way, their music isn't much interesting. But at least other of their albums aren't that repetitive. Of course, they are not my cup of tea. It's not that I consider this album to be a bad one but surely it isn't either a good one.

Very loud and powerful. Definitely a groundbreaking listen. 8/10 [KEEP]

It's okey. I added a few songs to my playlist, but overall, it's just not my genre.

The quintessential trademark Greenday album What can you say some absolute classics on this a punk smasher ! Not just a great punk album but a good pop album too some well crafted Melodys hooky power chord riffage Probably tre cool’s best drumming on this and his introduction to the group Standout tracks for me of course basket case Chump Welcome to paradise and she , overall a banger !

Chump has a hypnotic bass line really got me in a trance really showcases mike dirnts underrated bassplaying The transition into long view into the tom section is awesome then kicks you in the face Production overall super in your face compressed, the whole album in one sitting really fatigues the ears, but does the job. Listened on good headphones CD quality but i bet on a good HiFi blasting it'd kick your ass Welcome to paradise really has all band members playing to their full ability, the part where it drops out into the middle section with toms panned right then kicks into the full tom groove in stereo makes it sound huge, pretty underwhelming going into the track pulling teeth after such a banger. Nothing to say about basket case that hasn't been said before, absolute classic everyone has learnt on the guitar at least once, and really creative drumming from tre, never gets old. F.o.d the acoustic guitar is just recorded badly and it sounds great when the band kicks in but just too weak on the acoustic intro, I lost interest in this song All by myself is a funny humorous classic but by this point im pretty tired with fatigued ears from the compression on this album , good in small doses . 3/5 as a whole

Some absolute all time alt punk bangers on here, but there are too many immediately forgettable tracks for me to consider it anything more than a good solid effort. Favorite track: Longview

good but the melodies in every song are so similar

Doesn't quite pick up until Longview and I think I in general prefer to listen to these songs as they might appear on the radio or a playlist, not so much in an album

longview buenísima

Not sure im the biggest fan of green day music... Track 1: nah 2: sounds familiar, better 3: these all sound the same... 4: okay some new sounds..., boring tho 5: same same, liking the chorus. I rate it 6: wtv 7: hmm same teen thing.. I gave up they all sound the same to me.

Nice!

I loved the vibes, it took me back to 90s. Except of that i feel like most of the songs sounded really similiar, i was expecting something with different beat or anything, sometimes its good, sometimes its not.

3.25

This is the first time I’ve gotten an album I’ve fully enjoyed. Until “All by myself”. I’m only on album 6/1001 and I was digging this one, even though this is definitely not a genre I typically venture into. That last song kinda messed up the vibe.

Ok - inoffensive middle of the road pop/rock - nothing special in my mind

???

Turns out I like Green Day. Missed them at the time, but catching up now and liking it!

Poppy easy listen cool fade between chump and next track. Good feeling for melody, good vocals sounding annoyed and entitled Generally cool guitar tone and reasonable production Pulling teath is a dud but followed by basket case as teenage angst anthem Its only 38 min but im bored before halftime Very repetitive, it seems musically very one dimensional. Can not connect emotionally Stopped after when I come around

It's rock and roll. It's pretty good. Some of the songs are catchy. Some are kind of funny. When "Basket Case" comes on the radio, I'll turn it up. But is it one of the 1001 essential albums? Only as a representation of a certain era (I think).

The instrumentals in each song were great, and a few of the song's lyrics were relatable. Most of the songs were repetitive, and I may need to re-listen.

This is punk right? This album hits the format probably, the songs are short, repetitive mostly, but that's about it. Green Day deserves credit for making punk more palatable for wider consumption, but in true punk fashion there is no way this review ends with this album being called punk in the traditional sense. Dookie is pop-punk. Period. While that categorization proved beneficial to Green Day’s commercial success, it comes at the cost of the abrasion and discomfort that punk is supposed to have. This controversy might be why this album should be heard prior to mortal event. Punk is meant to be a collective middle finger to blind conformity, but what remains here is something too efficient, too catchy, and too carefully engineered. Punk is inherently inaccessible to just anyone. That said, the societal impact of this album is to be respected in that sense. Still, where punk traditionally earns loyalty through rawness and uncompromising stance, regardless of agreement, this record thrives on accessibility. When an album built on punk aesthetics becomes skate rink background music for pop reasons, a negative bias in its evaluation is difficult to avoid.

Album 2 Top 3 favorites off the album: Pulling Teeth, Coming Clean, All By Myself Every so often, I listen to an album that makes me realize that maybe I'm not as far removed from my angsty teenage self as I think I am. Life runs in cycles, some ages feel closer to others, etc. etc., whatever you want to say about it. Not every song hits the same as when I first came across Green Day, but I was surprised by how many did still resonate in some capacity. Maybe your early 20s aren't so different from your early teens... Self-reflection aside, a few songs sound quite a lot like each other, not just in a signature band way. It's all Very Green Day, but some songs are Very Green Day in a way that's more similar than other Very Green Day songs. Not necessarily a bad thing; it just makes me go, "oh, this isn't the same song as a minute and a half ago!" I'll always love early Green Day for their energy, though, so none of that bothers me. Green Day was the first band I decided to like by myself. You know how you grow up listening to your parents' music, and you like some of it and don't like other parts as much, and one day you're digging through their CDs and records and you find a title or a band or some album art that piques your interest, and it's *your* discovery? That was Green Day for me. I was an angsty middle schooler, just about as un-punk as you can get, and I found a copy of American Idiot on the CD rack. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I haven't listened to this album before, so instead I'm just going to be honest: I'd never listened to this album before! It was exceptionally difficult to pick my top 3 favorites! This is an excellent album to drive to! Traffic had nothing on me!

1.Burnout=7/10 2.Having a blast=6/10 3.Chump=6/10 4.Longview=6/10 5.Welcome to paradise=7/10 6.Pulling teeth=8/10 7.Basket case=8/10 8.She=6/10 9.Sassafras roots=7/10 10.When I come around=7/10 11.Coming clean=8/10 12.Ememius sleepus=6/10 13.In the end=6/10 14.F.O.D=6/10 15.All by myself=5/10 Overall: 6/10

How I love drums, man.

- É a banda punk que trouxe o gênero para o público em geral. O som é bem coeso, tem melodias simples que lembram Ramones, a letra e voz são muito pop-punk, que ficou famoso só anos depois. O ritmo é californiano. - Eu acho que só no mesmo período existem muitas bandas punk melhores, Fugazi, Neurosis, Rancid, Melvins, Descendents, Breeders, etc.

With very little exception this album is basically the same song 15 times in a row. The hits, "Longview", "Basket Case", and "When I Come Around" are the only high points. Its clear they love them some Clash and thrash. Perhaps it was included in this list because it was the one of the first 1990s Pop Punk albums to reach the stratosphere, but personally, I would not have included it. 38 minutes of fairly monotonous power chords. I would have included The Offspring's SMASH instead. A tad more eclectic in their Pop Punk approach.

gotta come back

Really liked that album has mood of an annoying narcissistic teenager who at the same time feels to be very depressive. Not very my style but i think i like the vibes

jakoze honestly, prvni pulka alba me somehow moc nezaujala, je to proste greenday hudba a zni to jako greenday (mozna je to mym rozpolozenim a tim, ze se na to ted tak dobre nesoustredim) mam pocit, ze uz jsem predtim znal pulling teeth, basket case, ... idk proste punk rock, ale urcite velmi dobre album, je to fun a mam to spojeny s leou ofc takze ugh

Ok so here’s my hot take on this album, it’s ok. It has massive huge hit songs that made them a household name. But there was also a ton of songs that are just there and don’t add anything other than run time. In fact I think that’s the album’s biggest problem, is that it’s so homogenous that every song sounds similar to the last song (ESPECIALLY AFTER WHEN I COME AROUND). That being said it also has under appreciated classics like “burnout”. But sadly I think even on an album that’s only 38ish mins Billie Joe Armstrong’s voice is so grating, like a song here or there it doesn’t bother you, but after like 4 songs I just hate his stupid voice. Definitely an album I feel pretty mixed feelings about. But regardless of my personal tastes/feelings this definitely a classic popular punk rock album and I can’t take that away from it. And for what it’s worth this is personally my favorite Green Day album and genuinely the only one I’d own.

the album is fine, all by myself is funny. my favorite song is basket case.

#38 Thought I didn't know their songs but quite a few were familiar and still good, others were not as good

it's alright. Green day always sounds too generic to me

Amazing lyrics!

It’s fine. Green day is pretty average for me. Like don’t get me wrong they have some banging songs but they tend to sound the same. Still, some good songs on here. I liked burn out, when I come around, basket case, and having a blast. 3 stars Songs are very samey which brings it down but there are a few good ones in there. Could listen to it any time though, theres nothing in there that i dislike. Not a fan of the mixing, would like to head the vocals a bit more.
