Reviews (page 12 of 16)

This is absolutely an all-time great album. I'm not a big Green Day fan, but this was one of those records that had a massive effect on music. It took punk and made it more accessible. Whether or not that was a good thing, it had that effect and I think rock changed as a result

It was nice, again very short, but was a mix of stuff, last song felt out of place

six year old me is still so stoked

Very Nostalgic

Hate Green Day

I always though I was too cool to like Green Day when I Was younger. This album is really good, wish I would of actually listened to it.

If starting every track with the drums in the left channel before smashing out a 2 chord strum whilst shouting is your thing. Enjoy. For me, could manage any track for more than 15 seconds. Next…..

A lot of good songs. I found a couple irritating. Slightly dated.uplifting though.

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.

Easy 5 star

One of the first albums I fell in love with and still my favorite Green Day album to this day. One of the main bands that shaped my music taste as a kid with Blink 182, Sum 41, New Found Glory, and The Offspring.

I didn't love this album when I was a kid, but there are really so many great songs on it. Not sure what my beef was, but this thing is great.

Less energy and less creative than American idiot imo.

I've never been a Green Day fan and I guess I never will be. Supposedly, this is their "best" album but... well, I think I enjoyed "American Idiot" better. I mean, sure, "Dookie" has those massive radio hits that everyone in my generation knows, the harmonies are fun, and the licks are memorable. But, compared to real punk rock, it feels slow and lazy. The raw, buzzsaw energy of punk has been replaced by a west coast surfpunk energy and I just don't want that in my punk. It's mostly fun, though. And those radio hits were and are generationally defining for a reason. Strong effort. Just... not a 5-star effort.

Não gostei muito, nem me cativou o suficiente para ouvir tudo.

Huh, not a fan, ocekivao sam nesto bolje. Najbolje pjesme: 1. Basket Case 2. When I Come Around 3. Welcome to Paradise

I am by no means a fan of pop punk. Put on something like Blink-182, and you most likely won’t catch me singing along or head banging to the music. Simply not my era. This may seem stupid, but I’ve always seen it as a little cheesy. But that doesn’t mean I don’t respect a band like Green Day. I can admire the success they’ve had over the years. Some people not so much. I understand the gripes that people can have with this group. It’s ok to not like a band after hearing it so much. But elitism is the most draining thing ever. Like yes, we are aware that you don’t think Green Day is “real punk rock”. And yes, we are aware that you think they are sellouts. But should you really care that much? Someone like me, who has very little experience with this kind of thing, can still find enjoyment. I always admire three piece bands, because it’s harder to pull off the same level of musicianship as some bands with double the number of members. Each person is Green Day is a talented musician to say the least. Especially Tre Cool. That guy is one kick-ass drummer, and I love when he is absolutely tearing it up on the kit. I found that the songs on here that are more contained and less wild are not as interesting. But there aren’t too many of those. Most of this is quick and loud, which I enjoy. I pride myself in having a good intuition. And I had this feeling from the start that by the end of this, I would be tired of it. You can kind of get a sense after 3 or 4 songs of whether or not the album is going to be repetitive. But to my surprise, this wasn’t as much of an issue as I anticipated. I was slightly fatigued by the end, but all of the shortest songs are saved until the end, so the fatigue was mostly balanced out. Green Day are huge for a reason. It’s okay to not like them, but it’s also obnoxious to tell every fan you meet that their favorite band are shitty sell outs. Am I glad this is one of only two albums from them on the list? Yes. But do I hate it? Not at all. Rating: 7/10

nothing special but enjoyable

Reminds me of when my sons were teenagers

Really fun album to listen to.

Can’t go wrong with this classic. The 90’s is one of the best decades for music in my opinion. So many different options/genres/styles to choose from, this album being at the top of that list for me. It has been a go to anytime I’m reminiscing and feeling nostalgic for a simpler time. They put on one hell of a live show too 🤘🏻

LOVE THIS ALBUM!

I mean it's Green Day, classic for what it is but never my personal favorite

Ok, it’s not good…but it’s effective. Also so darn nostalgic. Basket case will never not be a vibe

This is considered old school now, lol. Will always enjoy a bit of Green Day.

Sorry not a fan, not bad as such just a little sanitized for punk

Not much going on. Singles stand out but only a little past the monotone

Wasn't a fan. An hour of the same song going over and over again with the same riffs and with the same dreadful singing. Maybe I want part of that generation when they were huge but none of their music stood out to me.

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)

A classic and a favorite!

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.

I thought maybe I might be like, "hey, this album's alright." But I wasn't.

Esta good pero un poco repetitivo

The first half is okay but in hindsight sounds a lot like plenty of other post Dookie commercial punk bands. The second half is quintessential Green Day though. So difficult not to foot tap or nod to drum rhythms. The balance and dance between the drums and guitar is so consistently cohesive. It's obviously much more radio friendly than the punk/grunge prior to their success but this is so clean it's undeniable. Love the giggles in the background of All By Myself. Can't imagine how fun it would be to have amount of success with your brothers.

My fav songs from this album: Welcome to paradise Basket case Sassafras roots When I come around What a time to be alive.

Very nostalgic

Green Day is one of my favorite bands. Solid 5! Going to see them in concert in 2024. :-)

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.

Great album. I bought this back in the day and listened to it non-stop. Gets a bit weird and skippable in the 2nd half but I’m not going to let that stop me from giving this one a high five

What a great album with a few tracks that were less good. This album is such a huge nostalgia trip. I can sing along and just feel like that 6 year old skater boy again. But now I listen to it differently, the instruments stand out more and the mix is great! Standout tracks: Burnout, Having A Blast, Chump, Longview, Welcome To Paradise, Pulling Teeth, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around, Emenius Sleepus, In The End, F.O.D., 8,5 out of 10

My introduction to Green Day came through Boulevard of Broken Dreams in the American Idiot era. I was not alive for the heyday of this album, and I think I've never given it the respect it deserves as a consequence. Of course I know the four big hits, but I've only rarely listened to the whole thing. It's energetic and a lot of fun to listen to all the way through. I know Green Day can be controversial, but to me it's simple. It's just good. Highlights: Longview, She, Sassafras Roots, When I Come Around, the breakdown of Welcome To Paradise, \"am I just paranoid, ayuhyuhyuuuuh!\"

Seemed t gva compilation. Still prefer American Idiot.

Love this album, one of the best punk rock albums. Top tracks: Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, When I Come Around

One of my favorite Green Day albums. Super nostalgic for me.

They got more people listening to punk that the sex pistols.

Simplr but fun and enegetic

Love Dookie. What a groundbreaking album.

I generally don't care for the music of Green Day. However, I do like the songs "Basket Case" and "when I come around".

Much better gym soundtrack than Willie Nelson.

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

Hecking classic

It's a good 'un.

I don’t like this.

iconic pop "punk" by 3 idiots

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

Classic album with a fair proportion of bangers. Pretty innovative for the time. You can hear some Latin rhythms dressed up as punk double stops. Definitely Hwhite people music for the most part, but decent music to get some aggression out.

I never listened to Green Day much. The album was better than I expected, but not a go to for me.

5/5 A classic punk rock album, Green Day's third studio album and their breakout album. This album bangs from beginning to end and showcases what Green Days sound really is.

Ion like it. It just feels like every song has the same vibe - american teenage punk girl movie from 2004.

Childish posturing obviously, as we learned about them.

Bangers.

Very fun record. I've been listening to this one for years now, and it's always a good time. A bit repetitive in the back half, but overall some of the band's best work!

Classic! Lots of familiar tracks.

(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)

Classic. My high school years. When I Come Around is the best track.

Was very hard to not break the speed limit listening to this album. I passed so many people.

Amazing album. Wore out cassettes when I was a teen

I didn't expect Green Day to sound so... not punk. Pretty solid album, though!

Sorry, not sorry but not a fan…. I felt yelled at… and please understand I loved punk rock in the 80’s… but this just was just not something I enjoyed. I listened to 3 songs… I couldn’t take any more…

While I appreciate the creative contributions Green Day has given to modern society, it is not something I would ever choose to listen to on my own.

Je n’ai jamais été un fan de Green Day, mais je comprends de plus en plus l’intérêt de la chose! Le tone de guitare, l’attitude générale, surtout pour quand c’est sorti, le succès que ça a eu s’explique là! Ceci étant dit, c’est un peu répétitif à mon goût. Ajout à la biblio: Non

Dookie reminds me of being 16 and hearing the Descendents for the first time. That super fun raw energy where you just wanna slam dance and have the most fun you can. But that is really where it ends for me.

Wow, it's been ages since I last heard this album. It's still great!

Didn't like any songs on this album

Still a fun listen, does not incline me to listen to more recent albums.

🔥When I come around

This album was fun… favorite songs were come around and the first 2.

Green Day has its place in rock's history, but was never one of my favorites (compared to, say, Nirvana, Bush or Foo Fighters). Not my style.

i've never been a big green day fan, i'm not so much a pop punk person in general, but there's just something about this album that is so damn nostalgic. fun all the way throughout, aggressive, yet tongue in cheek. really well made. just an all-around good time!

Every song felt exactly the same.

Greenday were my favourite band when I was 9 years old. I loved their main songs. Not sure if their music still does it for me. I enjoyed moments of the album but I highly doubt this would be something I’d revisit.

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.

Liked it, gave 3.5ish stars

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.

Nostalgia!

good, snarky, but good

Great pop songs delivered in high energy punk format. great playing, great harmonies. fun and energetic.

2 Not a fan of mush mouth words or the sounds generated bu the band

Speaks to my angsty millennial heart. Also a great album to clean your place to while listening

Very nostalgic

Pretty similar from one to the next but fine overall. I won't seek this one out again though.

They all sounded really similar and the only really good ones were the popular ones. 4/10

Green days best strong 4, can get a little

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.

I cannot objectively analyze this album because i listened to it so much in high school. Though it's not something I've returned to often since (and not at all on the past 15 years), it's still etched into my brain, and I enjoyed dusting it off.

done 3/10

There’s a few songs that offer a glimpse of the more pop-forward style that is to some, but mostly just solid punk bangers.

Hat mir bisher gut gefallen. Trotz eher negativer nostalgischer Gefühle. Ziemlich poppig, das war damals natürlich auch ein anderer Eindruck.

Better than expected. Liked a lot of songs

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

Like the fast paced songs, good amount of songs that I liked. A bit same-y, but I think that's due to the singer's voice, rather than the songs. I prefer this album to their other one that I rated (even though I know more songs from that album American Idiot or whatever). Solid 4****

Love this album - so many bangers.

I absolutely hate Green Day. Always have, Always will.

Haven’t listened to this in 20 years and still could finger drum the entire album. Every fill is firmly ingrained in my brain.

So many memories...

Este es un clásico de los 90. Maravilloso, pero a ratos se hace largo. Son 38 minutos, así que en realidad deberían ser menos canciones.

Like many bands (Blues Traveller?) all of the songs sound the same...certainly like they were written/recorded on the same day. In both cases, the music is hard-rocking, and while it doesn't turn me into a Green Day fan, I can totally give 2 thumbs up if this is your type of music. Hard-driving garage rock with good punchy lyrics that you keep moving forward. Definitely not "mellow out" music for sure...

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

A little boring

This album still slaps. Billy Joel sounds like he’s been punched in the face and is singing with a bloody nose. Tré Cool destroys on drums. I still prefer Insomniac tbh

They speak to 12 yo suburban misfits

Classic album, so I liked some I didn't

Underwhelming af. I expected much from the supposed cornerstone of '90s rock/punk. I think Green Day works best with 2000's sad emo-ish rock songs, not necessarily this brand of punk. Or perhaps I just don't like this brand of punk.

first album i ever bought

Rather fun

One of the best

This is definitely an album I want to listen to more times, I feel like this will grow on me heaps.

First time listening to the album fully! Just great. So many songs that would come to define the band.

Feels like being 16

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.

5 stars, just a classic.

Great fun, simpler times. I want to be 14 again and really into skateboarding.

Nogle virkelig fede numre, kort nok til det ikke bliver monotont, god energi. Umiddelbart det bedste 90’er poppunk genren har at byde på

Holder 100, den her plade er så fed!

Fin plade. Der er nogle sange som vækker minder, men det er ikke den plade jeg ser som definerende..

Five starrrrs

I was never a fan of Green Day, I find this style mediocre (well more like kinda shit, to be frank). It really does nothing for me. Longview and When I Come Around are ok. Atleast I can draw a line under that and know I’m not missing anything interesting.

Chef’s kiss

I hate Greenday. I just can‘t stand Billie‘s singing. Nevertheless, they have some cool tunes and I like the drumming.

this is NOT Dookie

Comparing this album to American Idiot, I think AI has better production, but Dookie has more soul. Overall I think I like the songs on Dookie better, good stuff.

The only good Green Day album. No punk-ballad BS, great songs throughout.

One of my favorite albums of all time. I can't stress enough how difficult it is to write an album about this subject matter in this style and have it be this objectively good musically. And Billie Joe did it when he was 21! It's a special album from a special band, and it will always hold up for me. Favorite track: Longview

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

Before the went and did that stupid thing, oh yeah, got political!

Absolute banger. Don’t feel like I want to skip a single song. I might be biased because I love Green Day. Great energy, catchy songs. One of those albums you could listen to no matter what kind of mood you are in. Could listen to this over and over. Favorites are: welcome to paradise, she, basket case, having a blast, and my favorite on the album is Longview.

Highlights: Chump Longview Welcome to Paradise Basket Case She When I Come Around Don't need to say too much about this one. An all time punk album and just a slapper in general. The stretch from Chump to When I Come Around is one most bands will never match. Also impressive that every song on the album is under 4 minutes.

I don't even know where to begin or how to write a proper review for this album. I grew up listening to this and its remained one of my all time favorite since I was in middle school. The songs don't overstay their welcome, almost every track is the right length. The album flows from track to track without any jarring transitions or out of place songs that take me out of the experience. The moods created by the standout songs like Longview, welcome to paradise, she, basket case and when I come around are so visceral I can feel exactly what the band was trying to convey. Whether it's Billies vocals that carry so much boredom, pent up anger or melancholy, Tres hypnotic or manic drumming or Mikes flavor he adds to every track. Mike Dirnt absolutely carries this album in my mind. While BJ and Tre Cool are no slouch on the guitar and drums, the musicality he provides on bass sets the tone on almost every song, and he throws in these little riffs and fills that add such personality to the tracks. And turns good songs into amazing ones. It compliments BJ's lyrics and singing so well and serves to lift the space left behind by rather generic guitar playing. If you haven't I'd highly recommend listening to the album again and focus on his playin. Easy 5/5 for me seeing how the music is great, doesn't overstay its welcome, has stood the test of time, and done so much for punk music as a whole.

A great album in their major label debut Popular music was shifting away from grunge, the massive popularity of No Doubt is still a few years away. This one ushered in the pop punk era in the 90s. Lots of great tunes on this album, from their hits like Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, Longview, and my favorite, When I Come Around (my favorite), to others songs like Chump, She, and F.O.D. it's a great album.

some tracks felt forgettable, but its an overall great album. perfect punk

nice 3.5/5

Yesssss!!!!!! 🤠😎🤓 Loved it. Started my morning with this, good energy for the whole day!

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.

This was popular when I was in high school, I wasn't listening to it back then because I grow up in a CCM house, but I heard a lot of these songs around. While the singles might be the best songs on this album, the whole thing is really amazing. As much as I love American Idiot, I think Dookie is Green Day's best album. Although that might depend on my mood. This album was so much fun and a real trip down memory lane. It reminded me of just how good the band was back in the days. Standouts: Having a Blast, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around

Fantastic!!!

Classic nostalgia when i wished I was a teenager

While this isn’t my favourite pop punk album, this has aged surprisingly well in my opinions and it’s still a very fun listen throughout Favourite tracks: Chump, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around, Coming Clean

Punk pop n rock n roll

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.

Very similar sound throughout. Heavy driving guitar and drums. There are some interesting interlude periods but I just don’t really like the guitar sound honestly. I liked the basket case song but my favorite is when I come around.

That last song???? Otherwise fab

Was a 4 star until All By Myself. Jesus wept

Unique in its time. A 3.

great album

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

Front to back classics. 10/10

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

10/10 no notes, a truly incredible album

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.

holy shit?? genuinely one of the best punk albums i've listened to. i prefer this album a HUNDRED TIMES over american idiot. in summary, good punk, good music. "all by myself" is also a nice tune.

Really solid album overall. It's generally pretty simple musically and the lyrics are relatable in an "I'm 22 and hanging out" way, but I think that's part of what makes it work. It's upbeat and fun and has good vibes. A few standout songs ("Basket Case" and "When I Come Around") pull it together. It's not the most interesting thing I've every listened to, but it's really solid and launched Green Day to incredible success. 7 months after this was released was the infamous Green Day Boston riot, so clearly some other people got into this too. Favorite song: Basket Case Other: Chump, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, She, When I Come Around, F.O.D. 11/26/23

I love this entirely in its entirety.

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

This album is iconic. Green Day has undoubtedly sold out, but they get a pass from me because of this and Kerplunk

Fantastic mid-90s garage pop punk album. It's only gotten better with age.

Fun little romp through the pop-punk landscape.

Awesome. Intet mere, intet mindre.

Another throwback. The riffs sound so simple, yet they make great memorable music.

love em!

Highly biased, this is one of my favorite bands since I was very young. I know the album almost top to bottom. She is one of my favorite green day songs

Pretentious, pestering lyrics. Hey, monkey on the cover: yes, you should throw that pile of poo, and I have the perfect target in mind!

oh yeah pump that dookie directly into my veins

It's green day!

Jee green day. Kaikki biisit kuulosti musta samalta :D Chump ja Basket Case erottu tuttuina biiseinä. Ei lähe omalle listalle mut tää on tämmöstä hyvä tietää-musaa.

Visste ikke at jeg genuint mislikte Green Day, But this shit suuucks…. Èn låt her folk har hørt, resten er bare kjedelig, whiny, tam pop-punk. Gjesp/10

Minner meg om litt enklere tider, og kan makte å sette pris på et nostalgisk tilbakeblikk. Utover dette fikk jeg ikke så mye ut av det.

Aldri likt Greenday noe særlig og dette overbeviste meg ikke heller. Syntes det bare er sytete, gjentakende og en mer shallow versjon av movementen som kom før, med feks Ramones, som jeg heller ikke likte, haha.

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.

When I Come Around I think is a genuinely pretty good song. I really don't feel the rest of it much tbh. It's not THAT bad or anything, a lot of it is pretty catchy, but then I get annoyed by it being stuck in my head for longer than it's welcome lol. (It should be noted that pop-punk is not generally my thing) His voice sorta annoys me on this one, I like the vocals on the later albums quite a bit more tbh. Overall feels like a 2 leaning 2.5 with a couple strong high points and with the rest quite bland or bad imo. As I said, pop punk isn't really for me most of the time.

Just a fun, high-energy ride. It gets derided sometimes as "not real punk" which is sort of true, but that doesn't detract from the excellence of this album. There are a handful of duds (All by Myself, anyone?) on this album that prevent it from being 5 stars but it is still worth repeated listens.

Being shorter and tighter makes this a better album than American Idiot, in my opinion.

Green Day is just so good man

I do not have time to listen to you whine 🙁 I am glad everyone is having fun

Honestly I’ve never listened all the way through. I thought it was better than I expected! Loved some of the silliness mixed with deeper messaging

It’s good! I like American Idiot more, but this album is incredibly solid, especially with singles like Basket Case attached to it.

were paedophiles for the american dream...hehhee... ei viimeaikoina kovin hyvää musiikkia tuottanut heh. . If you don’t like this, you’re basically a moron. noh tykkäsin pikkusenverranpikkusenverran. kolmekymppiset ameeriikkalaiset nostalgeilee arvosteluissa. vetäjääkäähän käteen, heh. varmaan oli aikanaan kovaa settiä, nykyäjään vähemmän sellainen. silti nautinnollista... longview

Would listen again x

Classic, great, very very good rock

It was ok. I did not hate it, but it's not my thang.

Heard before Saved 14/14 Top track: Welcome to Paradise

kunno nostalgia pärinät! Ei ehkä kokonaisuutena mitekää erityinen mut biisit lähinnä oli tosi lähellä sydäntä <3 kovin varma valinta jos haluu sellasta green day punkki jytinää

ganska kul

Teen angst rock. Bleurgh.

Solid pop punk album. Not quite a 5 but it's very close, has a few songs to skip on it. Will I listen to again: 80%

The album that made Pop Punk hip. Well assembled, but not really my taste.

It was good. Green Day is green day.

This album is packed with memorable tunes

classic punk grunge! recognized a couple, reminded me how much I like basket case

I think when people say a band has a "particular sound", it means all their songs sound the same. This album sounds like Green Day.

Ok. Fifth album by a male artist in a row since I’ve been counting. I’ll review Dookie, but I’m also going to review album by a female artist that’s not on this list (the album that is. The artist may or may not have a different album on this list). That album will be Where Did Our Love Go by the Supremes. For my review of Dookie, this album is tremendous pop punk. An iconic 90s album that also inspired some of my favorite artists in the 2000s (no matter how much 2000s pop punk artists like MCR, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, and Panic are disparaged, I still love it. I love Olivia Rodrigo’s revival of pop punk today. Those artists also owe a great deal to Green Day). The transition between Chump and Longview is amazing. I think though that having heard songs from this album and Green Day for years, it doesn’t really come off that fresh to me (and the songs that stand out the most of the popular ones like Longview and Basket Case). I don’t know if I’d play this who album unless I was in a really specific mood to do so. I’ll give Dookie a 4. Where Did Our Love Go is of course another certified classic with iconic hits like the title track and “Baby Love”. Of the songs I hadn’t previously heard, I really loved “When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes.” But every song on this album is perfect 1960s pop. I know the Supremes didn’t have Motown’s first number one song, but they did more to popularize the Motown sound than any other artist on the label. And in the 1960s, no other artist (besides the Beatles) rivaled their chart success. This album obviously deserves to be on this list for popularizing the Motown sound, the dominant sound of R&B and probably the most imitated sound in music during the 1960s. The charts of course aren’t everything, but the influence and legacy of the Supremes on musical landscape can’t be understated. They transcended the “race music” that was commonly applied to Black artists before the 1960s and allowed Black artists to finally get credit for their contributions to music (instead of having tepid covers of their songs by White artists gain more popularity like in the ‘50s). They’re the most commercially successful vocal group of all time. They also inspired my favorite musical film Dreamgirls. Every girl group (Destiny’s Child, TLC, Spice Girls, etc.) AND boy group (Boyz II Men, *NSYNC, One Direction, etc.) that came after them is forever indebted to them. Where Did Our Love Go is a 5.

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.

Green day is cool. Very same-ish though at times.

It's easy to forget how good these guys were at there peak. A bracing punk pop set.

The hits go really hard here, amazing how I'm not tired of these songs after 30 years

I really liked this actually! My favorites were probably "Basket Case", "FOD", and "In the End". I actually do see the appeal good album! Oh and i REALLY LIKED "Welcome to Paradise"

Amazing. Absolute bangers and this is the kind of music I fell in love with as a preteen. It will always have a place in my heart. I am so excited to keep listening.

3.5/10, this feels like an album a 16 year old boy will post #deep to and the nostalgia for those feelings is not there for me. The vocals annoy me, it really felt like a slog to get through this.

The blueprint of punk rock albums to come, Dookie slaps hard. When everything erupts on 'Longview' you know that you're in for a treat. The rhythm parts by misters Dirnt and Cool are extraordinary, but the singing should probably be left to Armstrong as the hidden jerk-off track 'All By Myself' showcases.

90’s Green Day was such a power trio. Dookie truly shaped an entire genre almost entirely by itself. A true piece of music history. The rhythm section is incredibly tight and Armstrong’s vocals are as iconic and youthful as ever. Some of the shorter and faster closing songs don’t quite live up to songs like “Longview” and “Basket Case” but Dookie is just one of those nostalgic albums you simply are unable to not enjoy.

It's green day

Still a banger!

Pretty fast pace and energtic

California post punk with a lot of pop appeal. Good drums and guitar

Now this is what I’m talkin about! A seminal pop punk release. Chock full of attitude and three chord brilliance. A master stroke from the Cali punks. Chances are if you like Green Day it might’ve started here.

I used to have fun with this album. When I was a child.

Pretty solid 8 song run in the middle with a few true bangers

Favorite Tracks: Burnout, Having a Blast, Chump, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Pulling Teeth, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around, F.O.D.,

Dookie >= Nookie

"Am I just paranoid or am I just stoned" Greenday's best album

Great energy, really captures a moment in time for me

Some classic songs, but surprisingly tame sounds and songs as a whole

Love this album. Simple and effective, captures a mood.

Well and truly the pinnacle of punk rock in my opinion. I have already listened to this multiple times prior to this One Album A Day thing, but I was still hyped to listen to it again!

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

Favourite so far honestly knock everything down a star that arctic monkeys album was not 5

The transition to Longview is flawless, but it's sitting at a four for me.

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.

“Get me out of this poetic grunge shit” said a generation of depressed punks. GD to the rescue

I remember seeing this album art at the house when my dad bought the album since it's visually interesting and unique for a kid. I read some reviews saying this was somewhat of a penultimate 90's album and I agree - lots of themes are also what society in the 90's start to grapple with also (or at least begin in a mainstream way - domestic violence, sexuality, etc.). Musically, some songs are structured awkwardly but that's punk, baby. Iconic!

Had a ton of hits on this album. Lots of songs sound the same and not many hidden gems outside the hits.

One of my all time favorite bands, right up there with Linkin Park for me. Love this album, love green day. Enough said.

Loved this. Felt like being on college campus, driving a mustang with the prettiest woman after having a rager of a weekend with the boys

It's really a classic. 90s bring back of punk. 4 legit classic 90s songs.

I respect Green Day but just not my cup of tea.

Fikk nok av Green Day når alle guttane i klassen hadde American Idiot som favorittsang

I bought it in 1994. I still listened to it. Alternative isn't my thing anymore,but it is still good.

It’s obvious why this band became so popular. High energy, zero pretension, pop jams with just a dash of punk attitude and subtle, understated musicianship. This is a great record to come of age to, and even better to reminisce over.

i fucking hate green day im not listening to green day every song on this album sounds the same i fucking hate green day

Classic 90s amazingness!

American campus rock. One up from REM one down from Pearl Jam. Probably a 3.6 - not great, not terrible.

Not a must-have album

Passed me by, with the exception of the two big singles ...don't understand the hype tbh

it was really fun!

the girls who get basket case get it and the girls who don't don't

playful pop punk summer goodness. what more do you want?

🤘🏻

i feel bad giving everything a 1 lmao. but i appreciate this for what it's worth! just not for me ☹️

Banger fav from childhood

It was quite enjoyable. Some good musicianship, particularly in instrumental parts. The general style during typical verse/chorus type parts is not tremendously satisfying to me, but like I said, fairly enjoyable overall and I'm glad I listened as I had only previously heard Basketcase.

Classic Californian skate pop punk. A bit too repetitive and too similar. Forms of the song pretty simple. I hear an influence of country and folk music in the second voice and singing melody

Classic green day!

Great album

Doesn't hit as hard as when I was 15 but still bangers. Best album of the post-nirvana mid nineties. Insomniac still personal fav but I'm still givin props to the tightest pop-punk group at any one moment.

I spent countless hours listening to this album all the way through when it was first released. I think for a whole lot of people it was a major part of their teenage/young adulthood.

Great album. Classic pop punk that still holds up. Fills me with nostalgia. Along with some incredible tracks, there’s a few I’d love to take off this album though.

I used to listen to lots of skate punk in my teens, and some albums still hold up really well. But this doesn't do much for me, unfortunately. I think it is regarded as one of the better early works in that genre, and certainly some songs like 'Basket Case' and perhaps 'When I Come Around' are bangers, but it is just too uneven for me to give it a higher rating. I really like Green Day's more commercially successful album 'American Idiot', but other than that I think Green Day just isn't really for me, for some reason.

I have this theory that the perfect album is about 40 min in length (maximum) as well as the perfect song is below 3 min. Well Green Day certainly puts this to the test by squeezing in 15 songs under 40 min. I first was introduced to Green Day at 14 when "American Idiot" dropped and remember being surprised to find that they were "old". Anyway, I enjoyed this album but it never quite showed the breadth and depth of "American Idiot". While enjoying the infantile lyrics and the general energy of the album, the songs kind of blend together. Still "Basket Case" and "When I come around" are for sure bangers and as a whole it is a fun album that doesn't overstay its welcome. Here's for hoping "American Idiot" is on this list too.

I’ve heard this to death. The singles are all great and there’s like 6 of them. There could have been 9. Only one song sucks, unfortunately it’s track 2. Often hilarious, the band can play a great breakdown. Great 90s summer album, and a top tier pop punk record.

What better way to revitalize punk - decades after its birth - than to make it even more personal and pop-oriented than it ever was? In a time when grunge was declining in popularity, especially after Kurt Cobain's suicide, rock was losing space in the mainstream. Green Day was one of the bands to fill that void. With catchy melodies and instrumentals, Dookie rarely has a dull moment, and its lyrics spoke clearly to their generation.

Burnout: Too relatable, even now haha Having a Blast: Bit forgettable on first listen, might benefit from more replays. Chump: I like this one more, although I wish I could understand the vocals more - nice bass line Longview: I like the fade-in from the previous track, it's got a lot of energy for a song about feeling unmotivated lmao Welcome to Paradise: The first song I recognise, it's a third of the way in, I dunno why that matters but it does? haha solid track, but I already knew that. Pulling Teeth: Not a love song lmao I don't mind the change of pace, it's a bit slower. Basket Case: This song is in my regular playlist; I like how dynamic it is - in the context of the album it really heightens the themes of dissatisfaction and general feeling of ennui. She: This song is... okay? It's fine, it sounds like the rest of the album, but not in a bad way, just more of the same, which is good XD Sassafras Roots: This is another kinda forgettable song for me on first listen, it's not bad, I just don't find it that interesting. When I Come Around: Another song I knew previously, I always liked the groove of this song. Coming Clean: As a bisexual person myself, can relate haha Emenius Sleepus: This song slams in so quick after the last one geez haha I don't have a lot to say about it though haha In the End: Another shorter, fast-paced song - I like the tempo, it's a nice bouncy beat. F.O.D.: Oh HI music after acoustic start - Such an angry song, but not in a super aggressive way? ahaha All by Myself: Okay Green Day, okay hahaha thank you for the second song about masturbating.

I thought this was very fun to listen to in an 90s nostalgia kind of way. I recognized about half the songs, but honestly it all blended into one long tune. The punk-pop lyrics are sprinkled with lines that make me smile. Things like “Sometimes I give myself the creeps”.

I feel like Green Day has maybe 3 or 4 different sounds, and at most two of them were on display on this album. The listening experience was mostly nondescript; aside from some lyrical clunkers, nothing was particularly thrilling or repulsive. Favorite track: When I Come Around. 5/10

Ok album. Some classics but not my style to listen to it through regularly. I get the social aspect of this album but let’s be honest, this was the beginning of watering down punk for the masses and neutering the message.

Never listened to this as a teenager so I'm coming in fresh as a forty two year old man. And I'm like ugh this is boring. Why do they all sound exactly the same? On the plus side I like short songs. Just not these ones. I reckon it would be good live maybe. Nice cover art. I'm struggling

Good fun. Antithesis of the previous day's album (Joni Mitchell - Blue). Catchy songs. Simple structures with no solos, nice vocal melodies and harmonies - fun and easy to sing along to. Last track is awful and cheapens the whole thing.

This is a tough one for me to rate. I've always been a bit put off by Green Day's whole vibe / image / overall sound and would never consider myself a fan. With that said, I do have to admit that this is a great pop-punk album and was so significant and influential in the 90s and beyond. I can only stand so much of Billie Joe Armstrong's voice and found it a bit grating by the end, but it's a strong album for sure.

Middle section (Welcome to Paradise -> When I Come Around) is phenomenal despite utilizing fairly similar song structures, the beginning and end are even more lacking in variety though. Some phenomenal choruses and melodies really elevate the middle tracks.

What a fun goofy band! I wonder how they feel about the war in Iraq.
