Vrenger seg inni meg av Basket Case. Lett skip. Resten er ok.
Green Day's alright, but just not someone I care to listen to.
Everyone who thinks this album belongs on a list of music to hear before you die is a middle class north merican white boy who is probably just cresting the "acceptance" part of their balding journey. Yes, of course I love it, of course it hits all my nostalgia buttons, I grew up with this exact white suburban rage. I used to sneak out of my teenagehood suburban house in the middle of the night with Basket Case playing in my head to go slurp on a mickey with my friends in a park. But that's as far as the nostalgia for this album should go, let's not be inflicting it on other folks and wasting the precious remaining 1001 days before they die.
not bad. Basket Case is the "do you have time to listen to me whine" song. 3/5
-Most main riffs are good, but aren't very dissimilar to one another -Solid opening few tracks, Burnout being an insane intro -Outro is shite, decent guitar but the vocals are far from it -Best songs: Burnout, Basket Case, Longview -Worst songs: Emenius Sleepus, All by Myself -Overall rating: 7.1/10, probably wouldn't listen to in full again
Good beats and bass.Make for good driving music
A cult, but carried by the singles with half of the song that sounds like fillers
Nice tight modern punk album, somewhere between angst and amusement. It’s still a pissed off vibe, but with a grin rather than a sneer. Liked it rather than loved it. There are definitely more ambitious Green Day albums out there. When I come around and Basket Case where the standouts for me
16-year-old me would’ve rated this five stars
Every song kinda sounds the same
3.5 stars. The hits hit. A few other tracks are pretty good. Definite filler but it’s a quick record. It’s not revolutionary but it’s fun.
Nu har jag försökt flera gånger. Men jag kommer nog inte vidare från att det är "helt ok". Det är intensivt och har ett driv. Men det lyfter inte till jättehög nivå. Tycker soundet är rätt repetitivt. Det blir nog en trea trots allt.
Its punkpop
My favorite album of all time
"Basket Case" und "When I Come Around" stechen klar heraus zwischen den sonst soliden, aber eher belanglosen Songs im typischen "Green Day"-Stil.
Alright.
Thought I’d like this more tbh as a millennial. I liked it. And sure that maybe I’d like it more if I listened to all of it when I was 16.
I was never a huge fan, but Tre Cool's drumming is better than I remembered. This is the first time I have actually read all the lyrics. The over-all tone struck me as nihilistic and somewhat anti-religious.
This is more like a 3.75 than just a regular 3 stars. I love punk music, but not the biggest Green Day or pop punk fan in general. Dookie isn't full pop punk, but it feels like it's right on the edge of it
Good
3.5/5
Some great songs, but I never loved the album as much as it seemed I was supposed to.
I bought this album not long after it came out, and within 2 years I wasn't listening to it anymore. I'd moved on to other bands, and Green Day growing in popularity did nothing to lure me back. Today was the first time listening to it in almost 30 years, and I still remembered like half of the songs from before. Of those, I can't say I missed many of them as they're mostly the singles. The rest weren't even vaguely familiar beyond sounding like Green Day songs. Overall it's fine if you like them, but there are better punk bands to spend time listening to. For 1994, I'll take Bad Religion's Stranger Than Fiction for my personal favorite punk album of the year, and it's not even included in this project.
It’s alright. Some standout songs on here but all the songs sound almost exactly tge same for the most part. Would have enjoyed more variety
Glad to know youth hasn't changed much. Not my cup of tea though.
I had to think about this one a bit. Longview, Basket Case and When I Come Around are all bangers, but the rest of the album is pretty mid. It's a 3, but so very close to a 4.
Not for me struggle to listen to it all
Ok
Nostalgic album I used to listen to when I was younger on the iPod! Great continuity throughout, nothing stand out-ish, but good loud feel good music. 7/10.
Definitely better than I expected and there's some catchy songs here "When I Come Around", "Welcome to Paradise" and "Basket Case". But I haven't found myself coming back to this album a lot 6/10 Favourite: When I Come Around Least Favourite: F.O.D.
Got some hits on here but the rest doesn’t hold up
another modern classic
Aw, Basket Case! Green Day any day for the nostalgia
Surprisingly mid. Good guitar hero music tho
Some good standout songs, but mostly the album just blends together.
Enjoyable album
Still pretty solid. I liked Greenday in the 90s. Couldn't tell you anything about what they've released in the 2000s and on, just wasn't interested.
Basket Case was an absolutely massive vibe when I was 14 or 15. And to be fair, the rest of the album is cut from similarly solid material. I still like most of it, even if it is a bit bright-sounding and quite obvious thematically. Marking it down a bit as I think this record is responsible for a slew of less discerning imitations throughout the 90s and 00s.
I like Green Day for the most part, but it just bores me. It all sounds the same to me.
’s all right.
Now, let’s try another vocal take after you use the Neti Pot
Another one where I’ve probably heard all the songs but never listened to the album
Yeah, s'alright. I mean, it's a bit repetitive. It's unsophisticated. There's no outstanding musicianship on display. It's "OK". I didn't dislike it. If it was on the radio I wouldn't yell at you to change the channel. Umm... 3/5.
ehhhhhh not for me at all sorry :/ can see why people like it though
Summary: this album sounds like i want to light a cigarette and also i want to fight somebody but with the 2010's disney channel skinny white skater boy vibes. still have some bangers that hype me up but only bc of the memories. not my style, not approved, sorry. (burnout: disney deszkas sori vibe. (5/10) nem fogom az osszeset ertekelni. chump: egesz jo (5.5/10) longview: not bad at all but still boring (6/10) welcome to paradise: vagy egyre engedekenyebb vagyok, vagy egyre jobbak. de amugy ez is uncsi (6/10) basket case:og, sztem csak az emlekek miatt de (7/10))
not bad. sounded very green day
Wow these guys are a lot less annoying when they aren't being such melodramatic bitches all the time. Granted, there is still some of that but far less annoying than American Idiot. I thought there were a lot of good hits on this album, but overall it was pretty uniform - not too much variety and all the non hits are really cheap knockoffs of the better songs on this album.
Basket case
Can't deny it's catchy as hell. Probably wouldn't relisten but wouldn't be mad if it was on
6.5/10 Ahh, the 90s. I had a school friend who was obsessed with this, so was pretty familiar. Perky post punk with some good tunes and melodies. Can’t say that this style of vocal delivery really does it for me. Best: Longview
I went into this expecting to be STOKED, but it really was the same song over and over and I wasn't really wowed.
C'est un peu comme The Offspring, mais en moins énervé et en moins bien. Meh/10.
ts kinda fire icl ngl kinda got repititive
This is a great album for exactly what it's trying to do. Of the times but very honest and speaking from the heart. Good instrumentals and some creative riffs. Makes sense to have on the list and is a fun listen. Production is a bit lacking.
It is pretty homogeneous. It's hard for me to even process, you couldn't escape it in 1994. The first time I heard the whole album (including the hidden track) was from a 7 year old kid, on a tiny portable cd player. I feigned appreciation, seeing that he was very excited to own it. So polished, there are no edges or ruff surfaces left. There is almost an early Beatles vibe to this. I get why it's here.
I'm beginning to think I have no taste in music because every album I've listened to so far has been ok. And people have been raving about them
I really listened to an album named Dookie huh. Anyways I’ve always thought the lead vocalist of Green Day had an annoying voice but it didn’t sound as grating in this album, maybe because he was younger. Sounded like typical teen angst punk, which I’m sure they were trailblazers of.
This album is single handedly responsible for the creation of pop-punk and therefore the horrors it's at fault for inflicting upon the human race cannot be understated. The album itself is okay though. The strongest offerings were the four songs picked as singles, and I highly doubt there is anyone alive who wouldn't enjoy Basket Case. But I think some of the album tracks are a little lacking in identity. I would give it a 7 if I was able to, but instead it will be getting a 3. I like the album cover, even if it's all one big poop joke.
Harmless ditties.
Wasn't too bad, better than I expected.
I'm liking that I like a lot of Green Day's individual songs, but that I'm not as fond of their albums...a bit too repetitive.
This album wasn't my favorite but it did have a couple good songs that I would throw into rotation
Loved it, felt like I was in a early 2000s movie montage. highlights chump, longview. 3.5/5
green day can be good but i have to be in the mood for it and i, evidently, am really not feeling it
I like this kind of music now more than I did at the time.
i feel like i've heard every song on here 200 times
classic!
Vuelta a lo básico. Disfrutable
I’m not a fan of the three hits on this album, welcome to paradise, when I come around, and basket case. But there are a lot of other good ones. Coming Clean might be my fave. Not enough to get a 4
Solid green day album. Others I like more
it’s kind of like nirvana it doesn’t matter how catchy the songs are if it’s really popular it’s not punk rock
With the exception of the last track, all the songs sounded the same.
This is probably Green Day's best album, in my opinion.
They were very exciting back in the mid 90s I recall. Maybe their direct punk-pop was a breath of fresh air to the death note of prog-rock-derived 90s grunge and introspective whinge-rock. This generally feels more joyful. But they strike me as a singles band, not sure they've released a solid album, if they have I haven't heard it yet. There are some bangers here, it's balanced out by the Busted and McFly influencing cheap power pop. Mid-three.
Don’t overthink it, this is great fun. Basket Case was everywhere in 1994. Me and my pal from school listened to this every Friday night for about six months with a bottle of cheap white cider. Hope you’re well John x
On one hand, this album consists of some of the best Hit songs of the 1990s, and this album also revolutionized Punk Rock music; it was Green Day's breakout album. On the other hand, the rest of the album is dookie. I can't justify giving this a higher, or lower rating. Favorite Song: "Basket Case"
While it is not a bad album, it does not particularly stand out either.there where a few good tracks but thats about it.
This album reminds me variously of the Pixies and the theme song from Friends.
Not bad
Definitely if it’s time. Nice to re-visit
Solid punkish rock
7/10
I have to give credit to Tré Cool—his drumming on Dookie is fantastic and definitely a highlight. That said, the songs themselves mostly feel pretty average to me. I understand the album’s importance in American music history and appreciate the wave of bands it helped inspire, but personally, Dookie just doesn’t click with me.
First listen: just sounds like “RAH this is Green Day”. I feel like the impact of this album would be most punchy when it first came it cause it would have felt like a more unique sound than it does now. A lot of it sounds samey to me and it’s definitely good but I would only put it on if I really felt like I was in a 🤘🏻 mood. Basket Case is a stand out but maybe that’s just because I’m more familiar with it.
nothing in particular stood out
Giving high school Enjoyed
The bass lines were too goofy and the guys voice grated on me. Too affected. But it’s undeniable that the songs are catchy
Reminiscent of slf and husker du in parts.
Every song sounded the same but that was a good thing. All By Myself might be the worst song I've ever heard Fav Songs: Welcome to Paradise, Burnout, Basket Case, When I Come Around
I enjoyed it much more when I was younger. It’s still good but like blink182 and sum41 it’s music for the youth.
Okay punk music but this was quite samey, the songs blended somewhat and nothing was standing out. Stand-out: Pulling Teeth
Very weak start, the first four songs almost sound like one big long one. Picks up around the instrumental section in Welcome to Paradise, and I enjoyed everything from then on much more. I only recognised Basket Case when looking over the tracklist before starting, and I can see why, it's the standout track.
Each song sounds a bit samey
Pretty good, but a few skippable tracks.
Ok
My initial impressions were that Billy Joe Armstrong's singing voice has an uncanny way of making nearly every Green Day song sound the same. And while it can definitely get into retreading the same sounds, I think the bigger culprit here is the instrumentation on this album. It feels more like an early concept that is more interested in one specific sound/vision before trying to expand its horizons in future albums. Leaving the shuffle play on for a little bit after finishing the album and hearing some of their future albums solidified this for me. Not bad, just VERY samey.
Power pop punk. I’d rather listen to The Descendents or The Dickies or The Ramones when in the mood for music like this.
Blah blah blah, modem day punk rock, blah blah blah, it's all so VERY POP .... 3 stars for being from the East Bay Berkeley, for whatever but overrated ugh
Hoch schule musikal
Great sounding album, best audio I have heard out of a punk album, but again this style of music isn't really my jam. I like that all the songs sound similar. All around solid 90s album that is worth the listen
Honestly expected a little more from such a revered record. I thoroughly enjoyed the more energetic punk tracks, but the production on the more quiet parts kind of ruined those moments for me. I either had to turn up my volume in order to understand what was being said and get slapped in the face when the guitars came back in, or just kind of sit there waiting for the music to pick up again.
Them feels, but borez.
don’t usually like pop punk but as is usually the case the earlier you go the better it gets lmao. this was fun!
Je connaissais quelques morceaux de GD, dont "Longview" de cet album (riff de basse très sympa). Les morceaux sont courts et dynamiques, avec une basse+batterie vraiment au top, un chant 'clair' qui se marie très bien avec les instruments. La guitare est par contre un peu moins intéressante, et certains morceaux sont moins percutants. Bonne découverte donc, mais qui ne rejoindra probablement pas ma collection. =>3.5/5
Just saw them in concert recently and they played this whole album. I thought it would be better. Adults playing immature punk music. It’s a little embarrassing. Still, it took me back to some good high school days.
it's easy to see why this was revolutionary at the time, but not every revolution is worth fighting for, you know?
basket case > resto.
Not my style really. It was to wildd for me. Maybe it was because of me listing it in the morning idk Best song: basket case
Fun album. As a kid who grew up in the 90's, this is likely the first punk record I ever heard. Still find some of the songs to be good. 3.5/5 Might listen again
Two good songs
A fun listen and a total nostalgia blast, but nothing more. Lacking the context of punk breaking through to the mainstream it becomes a little hard to reconcile their present with their debut considering their best and worst work is ahead of them, but none of them have the energy that this project has.
3 might seem harsh, but as much as this is a great album that definitely deserves to be on this list, I just don’t see myself coming back to it. I’ve liked it before, I wouldn’t not listen to it again, but I can’t honestly say it’s up there with some others that I’ve scored 4 and above on a personal level
It's fine. I dig the bass, I like the singles - rest of the album gets repetitive.
3 не е зле, ама чак мега не са ми
Pretty good and classy
Falls a little flat nearing the end
It's fine!
it's alright. pretty samey
Drummer is good but my god did every song sound the same
Fun but not my style.
fuck a staccato
As much as I wanted to hate this album it is pretty good especially the second half.
It's fine
Being an original punk fan I always found the 'new punk' a bit generic/copycat but I did genuinely enjoy this album
i don’t know man i know this is controversial but i’m just not as big of a green day fan as i thought i was
Hard to hear words sometimes
Reinforced my enjoyment of the songs I already knew, but clear why those were the only ones I did. Melodies and lyrics blurred otherwise through the unfamiliar to me tracks.
Great 90's pop punk.
Pretty standard fair when it comes to pop punk but solid playing, catchy writing and generally fun. Feels like it encapsulates the 90's era pretty well. I prefer American Idiot since I grew up with it and have nostalgia for it but this is a good record.
When I come around Basket case Welcome to paradise I forgot I used to like this kind of rock music
CDzinho clássico desse rock de transição anos 90-00. Muito agradável de escutar de bobeira. Com certeza reflete bem o clima geral da sociedade (se não só, mas especialmente americana) de que tudo era massa, feliz, otimista... Bons tempos, eu acho.
Sounds alright but not really my type of music.
3/5
The songs I know of this album are great. I can see why they were singles. The rest was just mediocre.
13 year old me would’ve given this a 5 star review. Some classic tunes on here but a few don’t really land for me.
Brilliant. Nearly a 4!!
In terms of pop punk this is a good record.
some catchy and genuinely good songs but they just have that late 90s/early 2000s sound that i just don’t love
I mean it’s Green Day, for good or bad, they’re so iconic that you immediately know what to expect, the rest is up to you to decide how much you enjoy them
Though I like it, neither song really stood out among the rest. It all kinda blended together as a same-y 40mins song
Wish I still had the energy to enjoy this album more.
Not the biggest pop punk guy but Green Day for sure does it best. Found some songs that I did enjoy here. Favorite Tracks: Longview, She
I do like some of Green Day’s songs, but this album was just ok.
Good record. Great songs.
The album that really introduced pop-punk to the world. Although their previous releases were far better, Dookie received a warm reception and pushed the genre into the open. The overplay caused me to stick to prior releases and eventually almost abandon the band until recent years.
Catchy hooks. They really should get more credit.
Ok I guess.
A blast of Punk Pop what's not too like.
Raw, top listen for anyone. Long live Kurt
The classic Green Day album can't believe it's 30 years old! Still has that youthful sound. It's pop punk fast and short songs, strong bass lines really can't go wrong with this album. Stand out tracks: - Chump - Longview - Welcome to paradise - Pulling teeth - Basket case - When I come around -F. O. D
That’s 90s angst punk alright. Better now than when it came out. Three smash hits (and the cover art) carry the album. Glad I took the time to listen to them whine. Extra .1 for being American brings dookie in at (2.9*s)
This album is fun and the hits are really catchy; it was the shit when it came out so I'll give it that. I also remember loving the cover art when Fan had the cassette. But all of these accolades are rooted in the past, I don't like it as much now as I did back then. It's too pop (really isn't even punk at all) and a bit too surface-level. There's also too many songs that don't stand out, overall pretty one-dimensional. I'm good for a few songs, but not a whole album of it. Too generic and commercialized for me but not denying it's sweet-spot in 1994, what a time!
Tedious
I always thought of Green Day as a watered down Clash. But I grew up with the Clash.
I get why a lot of people love this album, and I was still thirteen I imagine it would really go off. The production is pretty good here & I don't dislike it. I do find the harmonies quite grating though, and the lyrics are frequently cringe. Best Track: Longview Worst Track: All By Myself
Good but not as good as I remember
# 270 : They've done a pretty decent job. I think Its OK, I could listen to it, some of the songs are pretty iconic and everyone knows all the words. Pop Punk Masterpiece! Favourite Track : When I Come Around
This is the best Green Day record, and probably the only one worth listening to, if that means anything to you.
A very biased "I don't really like Green Day because I prefer classic punk from the late 70s". Green Day isn't bad or untalented, just not my style.
I never gave Green Day an honest shot. Pop-punk, fake twitchy head, curled lip, attempting a British accent. I always saw them as solid B-listers who became elevated once the A-listers killed themselves or broke up while the remaining players on the FM dial were C-listers. It does help that they happened to write better (and more mature) songs by the time American Idiot came out. Again, we were lucky in the 90's to have so much good music that we can choose to ignore some of it, and I ignored Green Day; one only has so much pocket money and you had to choose your albums carefully. We got off on the wrong foot and after me correcting course and starting over, I can now appreciate these solid melodies in short, compact songs despite some of the more sophomoric lyrics. The night before listening to this album, I saw a TikTok short where a bar band was playing Green Day, and Billie Joe Armstrong jumped onstage and sang it with them. He did fine, but the feel of the song was all off (due to the drummer, imo), and it made me appreciate Green Day as a band. It's one thing to hit the notes, but it's a greater skill to play well and with the right feel. Green Day are tight, they're on top of the beat, and they bring the energy. And I appreciate that all these years later, it's still the same three guys playing with their best friends. No lineup changes. I forgot about "She" and "In The End." Good tunes. Some deep cuts I liked were "Pulling Teeth" and the softer change of pace of "All By Myself." Dookie (and Green Day for that matter) is a bit too . . . manufactured for my tastes, but it's not a bad album, and it deserves the success it got.
How funny that I have never given this a listen-through until today. This was released when I was 12, and as I had a lot of male friends at the time, I remember this being popular among my seventh -grade friend group. Of course there were a lot of singles that I heard all the time, but even those I hadn't heard in quite a while, so this was part nostalgia, part discovery for me today. All in all, not bad. Tight, energetic power-punk. Fifteen songs, 38 minutes, lol. I was bopping along when before I knew it I'd arrived at the closing song... As soon as the Adam Sandler-like ditty hit my ears, I was flooded with a wave of remembering boys singing this. Oh to be young, when masturbation apparently still *hadn't* lost its fun! 3.5
So, Green Day is a band that I was lukewarm on as a 13 year old. Punk in general was not really my thing. From what I remember from that time is that somehow because Green Day had commercial success they were labeled as 'Posers'.....somehow though (in my dealings with other 13 and 14 year olds) I picked up that, Offspring was not given this label, despite commercial success. Looking back now, I don't really get why the difference. Maybe Offspring kept it more punk when they broke? Who knows... Billy Joe has a peculiar way of singing and having hard up front attacks on his words. Sometimes he sounds almost British in some of his word pronunciation... which I always thought to be odd. Sort of like how Iggy Azalea has a strong Australian accent then starts rapping and sounds like Lil Kim. Guitar chords sound like pretty straightforward major type chords with power pop versus and choruses. The drummer despite me not liking the franticness of punk drumming was always interesting to listen to on this album. I always liked 'When I Come Around' and 'Basket Case'.
Pure 1994 nostalgia. There are some bangers in here is still listen to regularly.
classic
Was cohesive but nothing new. Its difficulty to rate old albums in a contemporary environment but dookie didn’t move me, do anything for me or make me reflect of a time (that I was not around for) or encourage/force me to enjoy that time
Suprisingly i liked it, i saved four songs tahat I will keep listening having a blast, longview, basket case and f.o.d.
clássico absoluto do pop punk. o gênero nunca mais foi o mesmo depois dele e talvez dê até para dizer que foi criado ou no mínimo canonizado por esse álbum. amo as faixas basket case e when i come around, mas como álbum-obra não vejo grande valor. metade dele é simplesmente dispensável.
Memories of youth.
Pretty solid album. I hadn't listened to it in a long time. In fact I'm not entirely sure I listened to the entire album in a single sitting before. Pretty even, finished reasonably strong. I liked it fairly well, better than I remember actually.
“Dookie” is another album that my heart has softened up to over time. I used to hate this album and this band, mostly because of the negative associations I had with them. I had a neighbor kid who would play a VHS recording of their live performance all day and night. Sometimes when I was hanging out with him, I would hear it three or four times in a row. Not to mention, there were a few more bad experiences that I associated with their music. Listening to it now, I can confidently say that it’s still not all that great. It’s not the worst thing ever, it’s just mediocre, middle of the road. But at least I don’t hate it like I used to, so I guess we can look at that as a small victory of its own.
Ok this album sold a lot of copies and I sure heard it a lot when it was new. It wasn't made for my generation. At least it wasn't made for me. :)
Some memorable tracks, but I found others a bit same-y.
Highlights: When I Come Around
There are two striking tracks on the album, the rest sounds like one never-ending track.
Not my vibe.
3 but a strong 3
Pretty solid album. Liked it when it came out, still like it today
Green Day’s Dookie is definitely a fun listen. The tracks have a consistent theme of upbeat rock and some elements of pop. However, this consistency ends up being the downfall of the album, as it most often was blended into a lack of variety. All the tracks sounded almost identical, and while they weren’t bad, it got boring within 5 tracks. That being said, Im still taking some of the listens, as it was good, but I wish I could have seen more from the album. All in all, Dookie is an alright album. Best Song: Chump Worst Song: F.O.D.
It's amazing at what it does. Super positive and energetic pop rock album with good lyrics and fun vibes. It's a fun listen, and each song is great. But it gets really really repetitive, no versatility to this album, and it isn't really my style of music.
Fine for what it is but not really for me I guess <3 it got better around welcome to paradise/pulling teeth/basket case which leads me to ask why they would start the album like that. Just my opinion though also I think it’s a little too long. I like When I Come Around.
You could debate this album based on genre - is it punk (no) is it pop (yes) is it pop-punk (kind of). I was never really into Green Day. I mean the music is cool - good guitars and bass, solid drumming. But then Billie Joe Armstrong starts to sing and it all falls apart for me. A whole album of his voice is just too much. Which is a shame because he seems like a good dude in general. I wish I liked this more than I do. It's super nostalgic even though I never really listened to it back in the day, it was unavoidable for a few years when it came out so I heard it a lot regardless. It's fine, I guess. A generous 3/5 from me.
Saddened to realise that this album isn't as good as I had remembered. Turns out nostalgia is a powerful thing. The album is a mixed bag and shows glimmers of something great but too much filler and too many underdeveloped ideas.
6.5/10
Good punk/rock album. Better than some wanna be's punkers Good memories with it 3.5/5
Good fun. 3.5 stars.
Horrid Henry would love green day
Favourite song - Longview 3.5
"Dookie" has some good tracks and poor ones. It's probably just me as I didn't feel like listening to it today. But it's also because I find pop-punk a bit outdated. (No offence) It's got a nice sound to it and Billie Jo's voice sometimes works well. The lyrics are typical to the genre. 3 stars for "Dookie".
Well, this is a lively pop-punk album. Enjoyable but not outstanding.
Such a great album.
Pretty decent 90’s pop/punk with catchy melodies. It’s never my go-to genre but I can get through Dookie sans boredom.
Den går ikke bare ikke rigtig noget for mig.. Jo det er da et par bangers på, men resten er bare lidt maaah...
3.5 stars. A very energetic album. A few hits such as "Longview," "Basket Case," and "When I Come Around," all which sound better in the context of tje whole album. Unfortunately I am not a fan of the punk rock sound, even less so Billy Joe Armstrong's often unintelligible affectation. "Pulling Teeth" and "F.O.D." are good songs though
90s Green Day was great
My only foray into Green Day was the later album American Idiot. Never listened to anything prior to this. So came to this somewhat blind although one or two tracks sounded familiar so must have heard them before subliminally. I enjoyed the album. Whilst there are elements of punk in it I could also tell that they were in transition towards more mainstream rock which I liked in American Idiot. 3/5 21/4/24
Don’t know what was in the air but Americans really started to sound very distinctive in the 90’s. Some super dorky American bands like weezer etc started to pop up. Green day are no exception I’ve always felt a little off about them because they are just so American and kind of cringey. I can’t deny they are good at what they do but I just hear so much of them and it gets a little annoying. People at college especially who only know these mainstream songs really got on my nerves playing the same songs. Still I can’t deny it was fun to listen to even if it felt like it dragged on a bit I still enjoyed it. And that last something was prime weezer that was super cringey, terrible to end on. Nothing special to me not my favourite pop punk but still bearable . 3/5 Stand out songs: Longview Basket case When I come around
gonna have to give it a 3
Iconic band with an iconic sound…that’s pretty similar throughout the entire album.
Quite mediocre
Nah, I still feel undercomplex when listening to this country-pop-fun-punk-rock blend of musical nothingness. Yes, it is energetic, direct, well played and produced, and the lyrics actually mean something. But they never made it for me, I go for Ramones, Bad Religion, Clash, or Violent Femmes if I want such kind of music. Although, in their times they served a purpose, and that was to reintroduce lighthearted fun into Rock Music Making.
Smooth pop punk. Not sure why I never go into them as a teen. Maybe they're not rough enough around the edges? Maybe they sound too much like a Disney channel movie soundtrack?
Un par de temas muy buenos.
I kept expecting them to break into the theme song from "Friends"
how is this nostalgic if I did not even listen to this in my youth, is a question.maybe its the lyrics and the feeling of being a teenager and angry at world. it is enjoyable as its pop punk.
It is my favorite of Green Day’s albums and I don’t feel overly wordy about it.
Feel obliged to give it a 4, since it has generational anthems, but will give it a 3 because I don't like it that much to be honest.
Good album, but seemed to drag after a strong start. Was interrupted so couldn't focus fully on it though.
Basket Case - класс, но честно, у Грин Дея есть альбомы гораздо более впечатляющие, чем этот
a nostalgic listen. Not the type of music i really listen to anymore, but a nice trip down memory lane for maybe a once a decade ride
It’s still fun, still has nostalgia value, but I don’t think it fully holds up. Serviceable pop-punk. Best tracks: Basket Case, When I Come Around
Очень однообразно, ни одна песня после первого прослушивания не выделилась и не запомнилась. Но на разок сойдет
One of the first albums I can ever remember listening to. Green Day always seemed to me like the bridge between the bona fide punk genre with the likes of Dead Kennedys and The Clash and pop-rock banks like Blink 182 and Sum 41. 90s rock definitely took a turn from the glam and pompousness of 70s and 80s rockstars to more of a slacker “burnout” vibe and Dookie embodies this perfectly in both musical tone and lyrical subject matter. The decade was the melting pot of music. Dookie is a great debut album for a band that has had decades of sustained success and refined their sound. Albeit, the track listing is a bit homogenous and you’ll swear you hear some of the same guitar riffs from Billie Joe Armstrong that were on previous tracks. Still, Burnout, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basketcase, and When I Come Around are such bangers that it’s disappointing to see that half of those don’t make the cut when the band plays a live set for Amazon Prime’s concert series. The remainer of the album is a bit lackluster though and brings the overall rating down to a high end 3 for me overall.
A few good songs, definitely not their best work, but a good indicator of where they started
This is not bad, but it's not something that I enjoy listening to. For 90s music, it's alright.
Good but repetitive
There's some classics on here: Longview - Classic but I don't like the lyrics. Welcome to Paradise Basket Case In all though its okay. The other tracks are fine and I really just don't like pop punk all that much.
Par apsolutnih hitova, al dosta mediocre album u cjelini.
Reminds me of playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4. I liked Basket Case a lot. Classic Green day but all songs kinda sound the same.
Some great songs, but also some misses
Singles great, rest isn’t too memorable.
I like it more now than when it came out. I guess it finally wore me down.
Fun album
Some solid tracks on here, good album length.
classic pop punk. cheesy, but good times
OK pop album, some good tracks some so so, nothing edgy here. I can understand why some people really rate it as it has plenty of energy but no real depth, for me.
It was meh at best for me
Not really huge on Green Day tbh 6/10
Not a real fan but liked some of their music.
Tight, loud snare is the first thing I pick up from this, followed by Billy Joe’s confident voice. Excellent harmonies right off the bat. Guitar really exists in the background and is rather bland; bass carries more personality. Not my style of music per-se, but at least it isn’t ska.
Very Nostalgic
Honestly, this is a pretty good pop-punk album, but Green Day just don't do it for me. I don't know if it's Billie Joe's voice, or their tryhard subversiveness, or what, but I've never really liked them. That said, this album is perfectly decent, with the tracks being short and sweet, as pop-punk should be.
nothing special but enjoyable
Reminds me of when my sons were teenagers
I mean it's Green Day, classic for what it is but never my personal favorite
too heavy, too loud, liked this when i was a kid
Well, this was better than what I expected. Although the first songs in the album sounded all the same rhythm with different chords, it all started to sound familiar (not quite sure if good, but familiar)
It's a fun album. The hits are really good and there are no skips. Launched an entire, regrettable genre. I can barely stand pop-punk but every super fan I've ever met is a lovely, if annoying, human. That said, Nirvana's Bleach auto-played as soon as this CD ended for me and any ideas I had of rating this highly immediately went out the window. It's not that this is bad music, there's just so much better music out there. I don't think Green Day is a band people will still be listening to when my kids have kids.
Esta good pero un poco repetitivo
Classic Green Day sound full of bangers. However, it seems like there can be a bit too much of a good thing – while a lot of the songs considered separately are great, on the album they kind of blend into this homogenous wave of sound that can get pretty boring.
Seemed t gva compilation. Still prefer American Idiot.
I listened to this album on constant repeat for a few months in my mid-teens. I’m not that big on Green Day but like it as an album. Listens: 1 Fave Track: Basket Case Rating: 3
I don’t like this.
I’m exactly the right age for this to hit a lot of my nostalgia centres. However, while I love Billie Joe Armstrong’s voice and there are a handful of songs that are among my favorites, there are a bunch of tracks that just kinda sound the same. That last track is awful. Still had fun revisiting this, though. 3.5/5
Nothing special.
I love this album for its nostalgia but it’s not really my cup of tea
I never listened to Green Day much. The album was better than I expected, but not a go to for me.
(как много раз было заявлено) НЕ люблю панк, эти не старались красиво петь, но песни знакомые и заводные. но слушать я это конечно не буду)
Still a fun listen, does not incline me to listen to more recent albums.
🔥When I come around
Nice
Every song felt exactly the same.
Solid but Basekt Case was the only standout and could not tell the difference between songs. But Greenday is still essential music and teen angst music will always be a vibe.
Not much here I care to listen. Music from my teen son’s years. Cranberries, Foo Fighters are at top of list. Enjoyed exposure to groups I’d not heard of before.
Very nostalgic
Pretty similar from one to the next but fine overall. I won't seek this one out again though.
Good punk album, but hard to rate it above a 3 when I factor in how much better their follow-ups are.
Not my thing but I'm sure their Moms are proud.
Alright
Dia 01. Dookie por Green Day. 1. Burn Out: Começou me pegando de surpresa. Conhecia Green Day mas nunca me aprofundei muito na música deles. É uma música bem anos 2000 que me remete filmes colegiais/adolescentes. Não sei se eu ouviria no dia-a-dia mas é legal saber mais de um dos meus gêneros musicais favoritos (até então). Não teve algo em particular que me despertou mais interesse na música, mas ela é boa. Por enquanto não tenho tanto conhecimento musical, então minha opinião possa mudar quando eu estudar mais sobre. 2. Having a Blast: Até agora acredito que o álbum seguirá todo numa mesma pegada. Esta música parece se mesclar com a anterior, não me impressionou muito mas, repito, é uma música boa. Talvez só não faça o meu estilo. 3. Chump: Continuo tendo a mesma sensação de que é a mesma música, elas são muito contínuas (até demais), que acabam se misturando uma na outra. O álbum até então me soou muito engraçado, como se fosse uma cena de algum filme com um adolescente punk desobedecendo as regras e sendo só um estereótipo do que seria ser rockeiro. Não que isso seja ruim, mas é a impressão que me causou. Chump é a mais agitada até agora, no final da música há o som da guitarra e bateria frenética e eu gostei disso. Também gostei como o som prossegue com a próxima música. 4. Longview: Por algum motivo me lembra algo country, talvez tenha inspiração. Gosto de como explodiu a música no refrão e trouxe o mesmo quê das músicas anteriores. 5. Welcome to the Paradise: Até agora as músicas são icônicas, mas achei a fórmula muito repetitiva. Sinto que se eu ouvisse uma ouviria todas. Não sei se isso é o modelo da época e mesmo que fosse, não retira a minha opinião. Sinto que não tenho nada a acrescentar. 6. Pulling Teeth: Gosto como o álbum retrata a adolescência, essa faixa até agora foi a que mais me remeteu esse sentimento. Um jovem que parece na transição da infância pra adolescência, falando sobre seu primeiro amor. É um tema interessante. 7. Basket Case: Senti a música passar sem muitos sentimentos além dos escritos anteriormente, não tenho problemas com álbuns com a mesma temática mas este em específico se torna até repetitivo. Se eu não tivesse experimentando lugares novos na música eu acho que eu já teria fechado o aplicativo. Me trouxe de uma sensação que esse álbum é infinito. 8. She: Tenho a mesma opinião, tá começando a ficar cansativo. Eu ouviria o álbum se fosse pra não pensar muito sobre, iria parecer uma música só de 38min22s. 9. Sassafras Rots: --- 10. When I Come Around: A letra parece de algum conselho desajeitado, gosto disso. O álbum num geral me cheira a suor e desodorante, hormônios a flor da pele, anarquia, maconha e confusão. Acho que é um ótimo retrato do Punk Rock, talvez uma visão estereotipada, mas passa a essência e eu gosto disso. Gosto também da capa que resume toda a confusão do álbum, é como se fosse uma mente de algum adolescente. Minha opinião é desqualificada mas pra mim é uma nota 3.5/5.0
I only recognised Basket Case off this one. Definitely preferred American Idiot
Skater punk isn’t really my thing, but the songs are catchy and fun and fit well together as an album. 3.2
I listened to this a lot back in the day, but it sounds different than I remember. Not bad on the relisten. The longevity of this band is insane. 3.8
This is definitely an album I want to listen to more times, I feel like this will grow on me heaps.
A pretty fun album but its not their best
Each tune starts out with single-string bass plucking, then fast, full-chord guitar strumming and then, immediately, super-fast drumming and whiny yell-singing. Gets boring after a while.
Not bad if you are in the mood for this sound.
Fin plade. Der er nogle sange som vækker minder, men det er ikke den plade jeg ser som definerende..
Heard it before?: Yes Enjoy it?: I do, very nostalgic of your angst phase Favourite song: Track 9 - When I Come Around Songs liked/Total songs - 7/15
nice 3.5/5
So stoked to get this one today. Classic. A perfect record for the time. Bored teenager suburban punk rock. Most of the songs sound the same, but the bangers are all time. Longview, Basket Case, When I Come Around, Welcome to Paradise. All perfect 90s pop punk.
Solid album. Classic punk bangers like Basket Case and When I come Around. Guitar can get monotonous at times and vocals can be hard to make out on some songs. Drums and comedic-esque lyrics drive the album. Music videos were unique and helped popularize the album during the peak of MTV.
Was a 4 star until All By Myself. Jesus wept
Unique in its time. A 3.
Not the biggest green day fan anymore. Definitely an angst album you could listen to but the music is just so corny and repetitive at times
I liked it. Takes me back to being a kid but I dont think I ever listened to this album specifically.
I find this overrated. I know, at the time is was very influential and unique, but now ... s'ok. I'd give it a 3.5, but I am going to round down
Best Song: Longview. That rolling bassline is a nice, pleasant groove. Worst Song: All by Myself. Baby talk looks good on nobody. Overall: Dumb in an endearing, golden retriever sort of way. It's all riffs and upbeat gang vocals, but sometimes that's all you need.
Nostalgic but aside from the singles and a few deep cuts like Burnout surprisingly inert. I liked it a lot less than I expected to, and I'm really surprised that I thought their later albums were such a turn towards a flat pop aesthetic when it's sort of always been their bag and the difference is pretty minimal, all things considered. I think in the intervening years since this came out my taste has broadened to such an extent that when compared to something like Discharge or Drive Like Jehu, the deviation in rawness between this and American Idiot seems vanishingly small.
A few great songs but overall not my favourite
Fun little romp through the pop-punk landscape.
The songs blend into each other a bit, and everyone says they appreciate the bass a lot but honestly I just don't get it, it's not even loud enough. Still nice, though, better than anything else I've heard by them which is... well not saying a lot.
I do not have time to listen to you whine 🙁 I am glad everyone is having fun
It was ok. I did not hate it, but it's not my thang.
The album that made Pop Punk hip. Well assembled, but not really my taste.
classic punk grunge! recognized a couple, reminded me how much I like basket case
Early for them, still a few classics but not all my jam
A solid, true pink pop album. I will always love Basket Case, along View, Welcome to Paradise and When I Come Around. The songs focus more on anxiety and being alone rather than stupid shit.
I don’t really like this genre or maybe just don’t really like Green Day Favourite songs: welcome to paradise, basket case, when I come around
Fun, soft 90’s punk/ska skate vibes, won’t revisit it though.
It's green day
Pretty fast pace and energtic
California post punk with a lot of pop appeal. Good drums and guitar
Pretty solid 8 song run in the middle with a few true bangers
Some classic songs, but surprisingly tame sounds and songs as a whole
It's ok. I like their later albums more. Here they kind of just feel less nihilistic and are just another angsty English punk rock band. Basket Case is like a peek into what their future sound would be like. I can see how they influenced bands like My Chemical Romance. Especially with the singing style and cadence. They really like overdrive on their guitars. A low 3/5
Okay overall, the smash hits are good but I don't love the lighter punk style a ton. I don't have much nostalgic attachment to Green Day so maybe that's related.
American campus rock. One up from REM one down from Pearl Jam. Probably a 3.6 - not great, not terrible.
the girls who get basket case get it and the girls who don't don't
🤘🏻
Classic green day!
