Dookie

Do you have the whine, to listen to me time?

This CD had a long residency in my sony Walkman years back. Between the album art work and the solidness of the entire album these tracks still appeal to my slacker sensibilities.

Started listening to this and ws mildly worried it wouldn't live up to my memory of it.... Three tracks in and I was 14 again. This Album Slaps Hard

I'm not a big fan of the whole pop-punk sub genre, but there's really nothing to criticize here (aside from the awful ablum title). Young kids with punk attitude, slick production, socially aware lyrics, and good songwriting. Lots of earworms on this album. It's not my style so I wouldn't return to it often but I can still appreciate it for being a solid album.

Fine

Classic pop punk album. Loved their greatest hits as a teenager. Good to listen back to this, Longview, burnout, when I come around, all good songs. Quick album too.

Really good stuff, a great number of classics from the Green Day. Cool messages about apathy and hatred for being apathetic.

I like punk and honestly had always thought of these guys as poseurs more or less. I listened to the album with an open mind, and was pleasantly surprised. It's pretty good, all things considered, and has some of that energy of the late 1970s.

Great melodies. Lead singer has a good voice.

4/5 fun teenage vibes

i don’t like it ): not a big fan of pop punk

Quite a few great songs

Have not listened to this album in at least 25 years - forgot just how bass forward a lot of the songs are. Decent pop-punk, but certainly a hit-or-miss track listing. High points as expected, the alt radio hits.

Standout track- Welcome to Paradise

I was excited to listen to this album all the way through since I'd only heard the two really popular songs off of it (which are definitely the top two songs) and it was mostly a good listen. The ending skit was a wet fart of an ending and some of the songs in the second half dragged a bit but the energy of the first half in tracks like longview and burnout more than makes up for it.

Classic album. Loved it as a kid. It's VERY sonically similar, but I guess that's because it was probably recorded in a single session or something. Favourite tracks: Longview, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around.

A rock sound so solid that it’s lasted 30 years.

Easy to be snooty about Green Day, but this album has got some good songs

I really praise the fact that they bring a fresh sound on 90’s rock scene, with a punk style music (Ramones inspired) but with a more pop vive that make them so popular. They made punk big again and i really respect that. Basket case is the most famous and best song i think on this album, i belived its the one that stand out and its just a classic Unfortunatly i could not say the same about the rest, for me personality i dont find other song very intersting or even original the structure and melody are a bit too similar at my personal taste. Burnout and chump are good song tho

It’s such a fun and influential pop-punk record, I found it even hard to choose a favorite song.

I feel kinda uneasy about enjoying this, for me the whole "pop punk" thing feels really hypocritical and vapid. At the same time though, I'd much rather put this on than some of the old punk classics on the list.

Green Day has bangers?? Many such cases

Dookkkie... trummorna låter så dåliga och låtarna inget vidare bortsett ett par undantag

Good

If I'd grown up with it, I'm pretty sure I'd love it, but right now it slightly annoys me. Pop punk has always skirted the edges of guilty pleasure and utter shit for me, and this just about stays on the guilty pleasure side, although it's not a huge joy. Fairly repetitive and the vocals still remain a bugbear for me. A few decent tracks from the singles in fairness. 26/09/23

good thing basket case is on this album or it would be the same song over and over again. never understood the appeal of this, DaBaby before DaBaby. one song 15 times. basket case is the only reason its a 2 and not a 1

First 75% of this is pretty untouchable, with some of the absolute best songs of the 90s. But the last chunk is pretty mediocre, with none of the iconic song writing or performances that are constant from the start of the album through “When I Come Around”. Still, really good overall.

Listening to these on you tube has its draw backs, but also its advantages. As in this case, if left to its own devices it continues to play tracks in a similar vein to these selected. This album was followed by the sex pistols and puddle of mudd. Now although green day were OK, a high 2. What followed were much better examples of the genre. Though I do like the holiday track, unfortunately this album didn't live up to it.

An absolute no brainer for a 5 star rating. 1994/95 was a great time of my life, finding my way in the ‘adult’ world and having my independence. My music tastes were expanding quickly, at a time when grunge was my main staple diet. I was exploring new stuff like Massive Attack, Portishead and The Prodigy. Whilst there was plenty of new Indie/Rock to explore, this album just smacked me in the face from the first listen. Short sharp powerful punk rock songs, with fantastic story telling. Basket Case must have been on the Jukebox in the Plume of Feathers every night. Happy days and happy nights. Impossible to pick a favourite track from this. It just all works together. An album to put on and play from start to finish, LOUD.

Very entertaing album from the pop punk trio. Was quite refreshing, to hear a band daring to make punk sound happy and without politics etc. Liked it back in the day,, still like it now. It gets a 4 for me!

It's not my sound, but Longview and Welcome To Paradise are great tracks.

нууу гриндейвово

"Вы слушаете радио Рок"-vibe Да это же музыка про нас! Фактически, её писали наши ровесники, про какие-то свои переживания, проблемы, но уровня нас, зумеров))

Вот только пусть попробует кто-нибудь написать в комментариях, что мы зумеры нихера не понимаем. Это вы, бумеры, чёта слишком много думаете. Да, она однообразная очень даже, там кажется почти всё на одних и тех же аккордах построено, в разном порядке просто. Вайб крут, но потом уже наскучивает. Можно оставить всем знакомые синглы, да и норм, и так сойдёт.

One of my all time favs, every single one is awesome.

Bring back the 90s!

Good, fast album. The hits are great. Very fun

Amazing album

8/10

Some good songs in here and I definitely like their sound. That said, a lot of the songs sound a bit samey.

Wow! This used to be one of my favourite albums!

I admire Dookie and its seamless segues, the ceaseless hooks, the guitars that sound punk yet tirelessly happy, and the emotional consistency: Green Day could craft a song about the fall of Fallujah and it would still sound like Dookie. It would work too, like Free Nelson Mandela. My wife loves this record, and I frequently noted subtle shifts and fluorishes. The cover is super cute. A “kicking an affectionate puppy in the face” two stars out of five.

A bit unexciting considering how "influential" it was, not bad tunes though

classic green day good shit

classic punk sound? cant tell one song from another

1. Basket case 2. When I come around 3. Pulling teeth

Some classics, but soft in the middle which counts for a lot given the run time.

U.S. pop punk which was influential for the next 19 years and broke away from the grunge scene. Hard to dislike though not really my thing.

Hresst og skemmtilegt. Alltaf hægt að grípa í.

An iconic part of my childhood, however, Green Day doesn't do it for me.

Iconic with some all time great tracks. Never get tired of how good the drums are. Still like American idiot a little more. Rating: 4.6

Pretty good! Not really familiar with much of Green Day's music aside from their most popular songs.

Never realized how different their sound is from most of what was coming out in the early 90s. The upbeat energy kept me hyped up. Also never realized how much his "accent" sounds kinda british? Fun punky rock

Here we go got an album on our hands with this one. The company here delivers some consistent, classic-sounding and hard hitting pop punk tracks. A favorite no doubt have it on wall right now

One of the first CDs I bought that wasn’t a film score or comedy album, I’d almost give it five stars for the bass line in Longview alone. Only real issue is, like a lot of pop-punk, the songs start to blend together after a bit.

I don't like green day shitty punk pop rock poop

5/5. One of the best albums of all time. Every single song is amazing! One of my deserted island albums for sure. I am interested to see how thud album stacks up to Insomniac which I would give a 5/5 as well

A bit boring, most of the songs sound the same

It's been many years since I fell in love with Dookie. After all those years it still easily evokes strong emotions in me. 5/5

This weirdness and otherness hits hard, even dressed up as clownery. Or maybe that's the reason why it is so good. (Finally with album #130 I got to listen to a cd from my collection, yay!)

Green Day was one of my favorite bands in high school and “Dookie” is a classic. It has a bunch of great songs and the whole thing is excellent beginning to end. The track list flows really well. A lot of these songs have the momentum of a roller coaster. They blast off right out of the gate, barrel through a few verses and choruses and leave you dizzy after two minutes. Tons of fun, always great to revisit.

I love that this comes up next after "London Calling". What a great back to back! This album is phenomenal. I still can sit and listen and be blown away by the quality of the songwriting and the production decades later. It's so tight and impressive and a treat to listen to. Last year (2022) I saw Green Day for what I think was my first time, at Sea Hear Now on the beach in Asbury Park, New Jersey. I was hundreds of feet away from them and surrounded by many several thousands of people. Usually you would think that this would be just an OK experience- being so far away from a punk band and expecting to get some of that energy and excitement but I swear I felt like I was only a few feet away from the stage. They have so much energy, so much passion, and I was really blown away by how they grabbed your attention. It was one of the better acts I'd seen in years and they had this unrelenting presence about them that felt like they were there to make EVERYONE in the crowd have a good time. A real unforgettable show. On the bummer side of 1001 anedcotes, this album came out a month before my father passed away, and I will always be brought back to that year or so of driving around with my mom and brother and listening to the radio and having many of these songs played over and over. When I listen to these tracks now I get a little tinge of sadness but I think it's a good tradeoff because those little bits of sadness I get now were probably metaphysically being removed from my being when I listened to these as a kid. A transactional "listen to this now and it will make you a little less sad. When you listen to this 30 years from now however you'll get some of those little bits of sad back though.". That this record has "Longview", "Welcome to Paradise", "Basket Case", "When I Come Around", and "She" on one record is like an art anomaly. I don't understand how one album can contain so many truly masterful tracks without it being labeled as a "greatest hits". Definite 5/5.

I've always thought that this album was overrated. I think I can appreciate it more now than I have in the past, but my qualms are still there. It's mostly the mixing. The drums just sound so tiny and everything bleeds together. It really kills the impact of the album. Attempting to ignore that, the songwriting is really solid though. Catchy, clever and tight pop rock. I get the appeal, I just wish it was that tiny bit better.

Right off the first listen each song is very catchy and sounds like any of them could be a smash radio song. Each song has u tapping ur foot to the great drums and Armstrongs lead vocals which are hypnotizing in a way that keeps you engaged. The way he sings sound’s aesthetically pleasing. When you hear him singing and waiting for him on the next line you want him to sing in a certain way that would fit perfectly and he does that. The drums on the album are fantastic and so frantic but it doesn’t sound out of touch with the guitar and vocals. Almost like all of the songs sound the same but not really because it’s not becoming boring or unlistenable or even asking yourself if you’re on a different song. My favorite song is welcome to paradise and my least favorite is all by myself.

nice

Pretty good

Ah, yes. High school. Three stars.

A time capsule, both topically and emotionally. Not if I like it or just get nostalgia from it.

I did not appreciate this enough at 13, but damn if it isn't a solid album.

Couple of good songs from my teen years so solid 3 stars

I knew I've song already

Happy peppy rock, i like it

No mutta onpahan symppis, nuoruudenahdistusrockia. Oikein onnistuneita kappaleita lajissaan, mutta tietty aika perus. Oikeasti naiiveja mutta liian hyvin tuotettuja.

Tämä tuntui kuin olisi syönyt lusikallisia samaa harmaata puuroa yksi toisensa jälkeen. Meniköhän levy vain jotenkin ohi minulta? Vain Basket Case jää mieleen, vaikka en siitä erityisesti pidäkään. Ei riitä.

This stuff is in my musical DNA. I heard the singles all the time on the radio growing up. I slapped at least some of its songs on every iPod I owned, put them on those bootleg mp3 CDs that I burned myself, and added them to my Spotify playlists for regular rotation. For whatever reason though, today is the first time I'm listening to the entire album. Glad to know it lives up to its reputation among the general public and in my head. Standout tracks are Longview, Welcome to Paradise, When I Come Around, and F.O.D.

From the opening drum hit to the secret song about being alone, this record is a banger through and through. This is what I thought punk for a few years there in the early 90s. And I loved it.

Npot as bad as I thought it would be.

Not listened to this for years, really enjoyed hearing it through again

i really like this album...... i think it's a common joke for people to troll green day fans but like.... gahhhh this is really good. i love the energy. that 4-song run from longview -> welcome to paradise -> pulling teeth -> basket case is sooo good. (on first listen) genuinely fun-sounding music and enjoyable. i can't remember the last time i was so obsessed with an album because i've literally been listening to it on repeat for the past 24 hours. i don't want to keep rating everything 5 because i don't want the exclusive 5 to lose its 의미 but this seriously deserved it. 5/5

Basically a list of all the greenday songs I like takes me back!

Not bad, pas mon besat de green day. Passable sans plus. Quelques chansons de radio, mais les chansons se ressemblent un peu trop.

Do you have the time to listen to me whine... Good, fun, punkish now cartoonish and mainstream. It's a great little nostalgic guilty pleasure listen.

burnout - 8/10 звучит хорошо текст трогает having a blast - 5/10 звучит нормас но лирика любовная и слишком депрессивная chump - 6/10 лучше чем прошлый, но текстом не могу проникнуться longview - 8/10 на уровне с burnout welcome to paradise - 9.5/10 ШИКАРНО звучит ахуенно и очень и очень текст близок ко мне pulling teeth - 6/10 звучит довольно обычно, текст смешнявый basket case - 5/10 generic грин дэй трек про травку не зацепило she - 7/10 посыл классный про free thinking и все дела но опять же дженерик sassafras roots - 5/10 может отлично зайти под настроение но овералл такое when i come around - 6/10 просто такое+ coming clean - ??? про че трек а так 4/10 emenius sleepus - 8/10 жиза in the end - 7/10 просто хороший среднячок f.o.d. - опять про любовь 3/10 all by myself - ?????? не буду оценивать даже

Happy major rock, nothing special, probably 3/5

not my taste

It was a good ride

i’ve never really listened to green day. i didn’t think i’d be a big fan of them. but i listened to this and i’m really glad i did. i really enjoyed this album !!! 😁

This was shit. The shit.

I was never a big fan of Green Day

This is pure energy. One of my favorites

Just perfect. Every song hits hard.

Just okay, bit middle of the road 'alternative' music for those who don't really like the wilder guitar stuff.

5/10

billie joe's voice has always been nails on a chalkboard to me, but the music is well enough executed, saving it from a 1

An amazing album that I've listened to so many times since my childhood.

One of the best major label punk albums of all time. While I'm partial to the Lookout records stuff and that more lo fi sound, this album does sound incredible turned up to 11. The punk pop flood gates open wide after this album that's for sure.

Outstanding pop/punk record full of harmonies and hooks driven at a frenetic pace. Never gets old.

Some real heavy nostalgia with this record. I listened to it a lot when it came out and it was pretty inescapable that year. While not being a huge Green Day fan anymore, I still really enjoy this record.

There are a handful of albums from the 90s that I have listened to countless times. This is one of them. One of the best pop-punk/skate punk albums ever made and Basket Case might be the perfect pop-punk song. The whole album is amazing. And it hit at just the right time for me, 14 years old, Nirvana is done, and I'm looking for something new. It's close to the top of all albums that are responsible for my musical tastes for the rest of my life. Also F.O.D is just a great song. Feel like I need to quote parts of it daily.

liked it for the nostalgia of this sound. would have been a 3½

of all of Green Day’s music, this is the goods

Not my usual genre and I don’t think I would feel the same way had I not listened to this album many times as a child but as it is I really enjoy 4/5

So many hits from this album, but pop-punk is just not for me 2.6/5

This is my first time listening through this whole album. These guys done their homework cos the influences from all the great punk bands are apparent to hear, pistols, clash, DK's. I think this could have been a classic punk album if it had been released about 1981 but instead it was a springboard for bands like Blink 182 who were at the forefront of the American punk revival of the mid 90s along with Green Day. This is probably the best album i've heard from that time and genre. Well worth a listen.

Yank Wank

made me smile on the train. so fun. stuck between a 4 and a 5 - i love it but there are certainly skips.

There's only 5 rating options so this is being lenient with the 5 star rating. I have no shame in admitting it's a banger of an album though. The bass lines absolutely make it and the drum fills are fun. Probs 9/10

I understand why this was such an important album in the mid 1990s to many teens, mainly in the US. I wasn't a teen back then so I don't have nostalgic feelings about this album. When I got a copy of it from a friend of mine in the early 2000s I wasn't too impressed by it. Now that I listened to it again, my opinion hasn't changed that much. It's all just guitar based pop-rock, not a punk album - and all the songs sound really similar. My 11/12-year-old self probably would have liked it more, but it isn't my thing...

Some great records suffer from over exposure, Dookie is one of those for me. During the nineties I heard this everywhere, it was rock music but lighter than the scene coming out of Seattle. It was an in-car summer record, most days I would cruise around with this pumped up loud. And after that summer I'd heard it enough and have rarely played it since. Listening back today it's like a long lost friend and what a great thing it is. An immediate, fun and vibrant record which took the band from the fringes of the music scene into the major league. At the beginning of the 2000's they did it again of course, American Idiot was the other perfect record after the band had been written off by many.

Props. Excellent 1990s pop punk. Several hits.

This is classic Green Day and their breakout album. It's still a great listen from start to finish.

superb

Classic, slightly raw, very teenage, pop-rock. All the alty girls I liked from school were into this album. Listened to it in the car and it was alright you know.

In 1994, this album was like a punch to the gut after the grunge revolution of the last few years. This is not grunge and this is probably not punk either. Does this album have its roots in punk? Absolutely, but I'm not sure this can be qualified as punk music. Regardless, I'm not sure there is a bad song on this album and it caused me to explore Green Day's previous albums as well, which I also enjoyed. This album is a gateway drug for what I'll call pop-punk and really opened me up to a lot of other "real" punk bands, as well as much of the music I listen to even now. This kind of music makes up a lot of my running music and so this album is a 5-star classic to me. Also, I thought Green Day was from Europe before I heard them speak. The way Billie Joe sings and how he looked, I thought he looked English.

Not bad, but not their best album

Kinda sick of green day - it's on rotation too much on the radio and I just can't anymore

The whole thing is a lot of fun. I would totally listen to this again

I try to listen to albums on here with fresh ears, but sometimes that proves impossible, like now. From hearing this hundreds of times in my teens to hearing it played live in full in 2013, even after many years away I can still recite every line before it comes up. I'd actually love to know how it would sound from an impartial perspective. 15-year old me would award it an easy 5*, but listening back there's just too many non-bangers that I think it would be unfair on some of the album I've ranked 4*. A few of the tracks towards the end are skippable but thankfully short. I've always disliked the placement of She though, it breaks up such a great run of songs before and after it right when you feel like the album should be hitting its peak. First four tracks amongs the best openers in pop punk though.

It’s Green Day. It’s punk. I want I enjoy this more but men doing punk just isn’t my thing 5/10

Anthem of early high school and middle school. This album goes so hard, and is filled with non-radio hits. Peters out in the end. However, I can't say I don't feel "power chorded out" by the end of this album. Its really simplistic. Still fun.

Peak Green Day.

Easy 5 lots of bangers on here.

I always took Green Day as a bit of a cynical project. 90s American Post Punk, right? How could that be a sincere take on the genre? I sort of dismissed it out of hand. And shame on me for doing so. This album is cohesive, the production is fantastic. The musicianship is really good. But this is why I'm on this website. I'm opening myself up to changing the opinions of my younger self. Here we are.

Not a great start when you don't like the lead singers voice. Then when he starts singing his mum is telling him to get a job and stop wanking.... Not for me. And all the songs sound the same. Shit.

A lot of nostalgia on this album and some great tunes!

12 yr old me loves this

4.0

Pretty average punk in my opinion. I'm not a fan of the singer's whiny, nasally vocals. There were a couple of good tracks though, I just wish they had a less annoying singer. Favorite track: Basket Case.

A classic from my youth so this review may be overstating things a little.

Enjoyable, self-deprecating, rock. Good.

I don't understand those who think early green day > later green day

Want to give it a 4.5 but I'll round to 5 cause I had fun! Enjoyed it a lot

Fun silly childish but in places inspired

Dumb pop punk fun. Full of hooks and memorable choruses.

This is a tight record, each musician is at the peak of their instrument's power. The songs are short and snappy, sometimes silly, yes, but there's some really poignant songs in there too if you listen. 'Welcome to Paradise', 'She', 'Sassafras Roots', 'When I Come Around', some excellent fucking songs right there. In fact, the second half of the record is fire! 4 / 5 stars.

Damn this was definitely a big album for me. Can’t wait to listen through! Know all these words. Takes me back to when things were simpler. I remember looking at every detail of this album cover! Can’t believe this, of all albums, is on Apple Music in 192kHz. Sounds pretty good, all things considered! Never listened to this so hi-fi before. Drums sound great! Vocals, and bass, not bad either. Guitar sounds… 90’s. But it works. That transition from Chump to Longview! So good! This album really does mean a lot to me. I think I’ll have to do a 5. Peak 90’s pop punk. For a kid that got into punk in the 90’s, this was a seminal record.

It's not even my favorite Green Day album, but it's a classic. Green Day started a new wave of Punk amid America's slide into Grunge. It's short, it's loud, and it definitely gets the point across. It's not particularly musically complex, but its influence and emotion definitely leave this as a good contender.

Not interesting

Bello bello.

Too much punk for my taste, but some good pieces and some great lyrics. Too bad it is drowned out too often by guitar battling and hard drumming.

Sicher guter Sound, war aber nie mein Stil.

Start to end brilliant. Has a good amount of Green Days most famost tracks on it. Standouts are of course, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, She, When I come Around.

Great Album.Every Track Till when I come around is great.Obviously when i come around,Basket case and Longview are amazing.I don’t have a lot to say it’s just great I love it so much.catchy and punchy riffs with amazing drums and great vocals in small punk songs.

Great album and defining of the 90s

This album feels very 2003, which I guess makes it ahead of its time since it turns out it came out in 1994! It’s a cool album, not amazing though I can see how it clearly influenced the next decade of rock music. Fav tracks: Basket Case, When I Come Around

Kevätpäivä bändi... Käännä niin että viesti välittyy.. mielikuva välittyy.. Hilpeää kevät musiikkia..

I would call it pop punk not punk. But a pretty good album regardless. Better than any of their future output.

It's tight and well produced - but I'm not the market for it

A fantastic album. If not their best, one of them. Definitely top 2. I enjoy every song on this album and believe that it has a ton of range, but I’ve been listening to this album my whole life, so I’m a little biased. A generation defining album with incalculable impact. This is a great angsty album for moody teenagers that also contains deeper material you can find relevant later in life. 5/5

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-Zvvtvibl0 Was I here? I plea the 5th. This album, as much as any other on this list, deserves 5 stars. But this album also destroyed any chance of rock shows, much less free rock shows, to be had on the hatch shell. I mean, who the hell flips over porta-potties? Insanity. So my vote here is in protest that if Dookie hadn't come out, we'd still have rock shows at the Hatch Shell.

Wonderful pop punk. Enjoyed the short quick nugget approach of these songs. Interesting that all the big hits are the only ones over 3 minutes (when i come around is the 4th hit at 2:58). Still lots to enjoy here.

Too rowdy for me

Album 2 6/7/23 This one I've heard MANY times. Let's give it another spin! What can I say? Peak pop punk. The songs rip, they're simple yet effective, and they never overstay their welcome. Green day really understood their lane here and didn't take themselves too seriously, but made a damn great collection of tracks. Apathy has never sounded so full of vigor. Also, it includes the all-time best song about masturbation, so points for that.

I don't think I've listened to this in full in about 25 years, but it's just as I remembered it. Solid song writing, and very much captures the polished SoCal Punk sound of the 90's.

Was great when I was in 4th grade. Still just as great. 5/5

Gonna be brief and give it a C.

4.5

I do like a bit of Green Day, they're lively and energetic, a bit of fun in a world of correctness. I've heard their music termed as pop punk, but ive never heard of that term before and im not sure how correct that is, I would have said it was more polished americana garage band music, which is normally a musical area I avoid like the plauge, but these guys created something different. Dookie was their first commercial breakthrough album, and although lively, it was very samey, but thankfully they went on to pull more accomplished albums together. I hadn't listened to this album in full before, I guess I would listen to it again, but sadly there are a couple of tracks to skip in there.

Not for me

This album is one of those that will never grow old for me. Played it constantly for about 2 years when it came out, can even remember the first time listening to it on the journey home with my dad after buying it. It's comfort food now!

Great

listened

Derde album van Green Day. Zoals wel meer materiaal van de band staat het thema van jongvolwassen eenzaamheid en gevoelens centraal. Typisch Green Day album met bekende nummers zoals "Basket Case" en "When I Come Around". leukste nummer: Longview De naam van het album stamt van ervaringen van de band zelf, die vaak last kregen van diarree door slecht eten op tours.

Solid album, contains many amazing songs such as welcome to paradise. There is a good amount of filler tho, so I gotta rate it a 3.

No hope of being objective about this one

Some songs were okay, the last song was super annoying.

Un tres en toda la norma. Sentía que estaba escuchando a un adolescente x del 2003. Realmente no hay mucho que ver en él, supongo que está bien, pero no tiene nada por lo que quiera buscarlo fuera de querer sentirme como morro de 15 que se cree punk por saltarse las clases.

3,7

Light 5

🤟🏽🤟🏽

repetitivo

Pretty good

Maybe the ultimate pop punk album, at least for my generation. I love how nervous that album is, it sweats the typical teenage energy with its relentless flow of songs. They're also great musicians, we rarely talk about that but they're a really tight unit, Tre and Mike's rythmic section is awesome

Ah yes, a long forgotten time when punk rock was still good.

Pop punk at his best

Dookie is on my favorite 90s records. Billie Joe Armstrong songwriting is at its best, with incredible punchlines, catchy chorus and verses. Tré Cool's drumming is energetic and wild. "Burnout" is one of the best intro ever. It gets the listener overwhelmed right from the start. Another peculiarity of the album can be found in the bridges, made up of and focusing on drum'n'bass. Okay, I'll shut up about it, I just love it.

Doesn’t hold up, given how much I used to thrash it. But clear that what makes this band great is all three are pulling their weight musician wise.

A fun listen, full of catchy hooks. Pretty much the definition of same-y, although they do at least vary the tempo a few times. Not mixed particularly well, though maybe it’s a problem on my end. Maybe singlehandedly started the pop punk revival? Definitely a good album, even if it’s pretty mood-dependent for me in terms of how I feel about it. Best song: When I Come Around

Love basket case, but it was generally a bit samey

Call it punk, call it pop, call it what you want. This album put Green Day on the map with banger after banger. 15 songs in 38 minutes?! For some reason anytime I listen to this album I want to start playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater and listen to this genre of music all day long. Album art 11/10

Crazy this came out in 1994. Was 3 years old. Listening to this a lot in middle school when we were using CD or watching MTV music videos. Was interesting to listen back on it.

Another album that is absolutely riddle with bangers. The trifecta of Lynard Skynard, Little Richard, and Green Day is complete. Seriously, this is one of the best pop-punk albums/bands ever. I give this genre a lot of grief because it's so copy and paste; but these guys started it all, and only did it with a slightly whiny voice. Longview has such an iconic baseline. Feels like another 3.5 star album, but I'm giving it the Nostalgia Bump to 4 stars.

I always forget how old this album is. So many great songs from my childhood that I still listen to this day. It's tough to rate fairly for me because I have listened to this album so many times so I am not sure if it's just my nostalgia but I absolutely love this album This was my favorite type of music growing up with the banging snares and powerful guitar riffs Billie Joe is an awesome alternative singer and frontman Shout-out to the album cover also

Brings me back to listening to this in my old Honda Civic growing up! The Chump transition into Longview is primo. Longview also happens to be one of my favorite songs. Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around - this is my favorite kinda punk.

Flashback to my teen tears

Not a fan.

standout track- basket case

An album I’ve heard before and one I truly enjoy. Slight punkier edge to green day but still pop-punky.

This album was always an all time classic for me. All the songs are great but in addition to that the theme of the album is very well written and displayed throughout. It doesn't have that cringy whiney feel that some pop punk from this time and the early 2000s have where they are just complaining. It's genuinely a great look into loneliness, depression and that feeling of what am I supposed to do with my life. Billy Joels voice is always amazing and this is one of the only bands I constantly notice how great the drumming is and think Tré Cool is one of the best to ever do it.

Great pop-punk album. Not very ‘artistic’, per se, but very enjoyable nonetheless. There’s an entire run in the middle of the album that’s mostly made up of hits; who doesn’t know ‘Longview’, ‘Basket Case’, or ‘When I Come Around’? Just a great album.

Not my cup of tea but I can appreciate it for what it is.

Gets a bit repetitive in the back half of this album but is still and decent and iconic punk rock album.

I like 2 songs on this. Talented, but not for me

YUP!

Found it very easy listening, particularly liked 'Pulling Teeth' & 'Basket Case' (drumming is excellent on this track) - would listen again

Dullllllll, couldn't finish.

Good

The nostalgia is strong with this one. Basket Case and When I Come Around in particular take me back to pre-teen days at my friend’s house, before I even knew who Green Day were, discovering a new type of music that was edgy enough to excite a young boy, but with an accessible sense of melody. A kind of ‘pop-punk’, if you will… This is one of those albums where the 5 singles are so strong it seems a shame not to give the whole thing 5 stars, even when there are few tracks that I find pretty average. 4.5

Classic 90s album

One of the most iconic albums of the 90's and for good reason, them and The Offspring brought Punk back to the mainstream, though I'm not as emotionally invested in Greenday It's still a cracker of an album and can't be denied a place as top album.

Green Day had a huge influence on the music I liked growing up, this is one of their best albums.

I grew up listening to this album. It perfectly describes some of the teenage boy angst that we come up against. Especially in the mid to late 90s. Love it

I was an Offspring kid around this whole era, and I never got to listening to much of Green Day or this classic album, despite the fact that Basket Case was on constant rotation on MTV2 / Kerrang TV. I really enjoyed this. It's really upbeat and toe-tappingly good all the way through. I really like Welcome to Paradise - this was one of the songs I did know, but it's nice to re-connect with it. Plenty of other good songs in here including, of course, Basket Case. Re-listening now on headphones I noticed lots of new little details like the additional harmonies that work really well. Overall a well made, fun, good-time album. Music aside, this is also an awesome album cover.

Having a Blast (just like me), Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, She , Sassafras Roots and When I Come Around. This is all about wasting time and being bored. Like me listening to this album.

it made me feel like skateboarding to the grocery store to get a vault soda then shooting paintball guns after. basket case

Green Day is from CA, USA Genre: Punk, rock, pop-punk, skate punk This is their 3rd studio album. Singles from Dookie: ----------------------- Longview (#1 US Alt, #36 USA, #30 UK) Welcome to Paradise (#7 US Alt, #56 USA, #20 UK) Basket Case (#1 US Alt, #56 USA, #7 UK) When I Come Around (#1 US Alt, #6 USA, #27 UK) She (#5 US Alt, #41 USA) 3.5

What can I say? I like Green Day

It's fine.

the first half has some of their better songs but the second half is barren 3.5

Altered my brain chemistry when I first listened to this as a kid. Bangers from start to finish.

Bit overrated

This is the best Green Day album and a good one as well! Lots of great songs

Punk in the 90's looked a lot different from what it did in the 70's or even the 80's. If you weren't slotted into one of the many hardcore subgenres, you were probably leaning more pop punk. Along with the likes of Blink-182 and The Offspring, Green Day would find a fair amount of success with pop punk. It was different from the kind of pop punk formed in the 70's, as skate punk and melodic hardcore would influence the genre, leading to the cultivated sound that Green Day has on Dookie. More than being a defining pop punk record, it's a defining gen x album: it's sarcastic, lazy, and rebellious in the most surface way possible. Not only is it a fun pop punk record, but it's also sort of progressive? More specifically, it's like they put more thought into the songwriting than the average punk band had put into any song. It's tight.

Just an amazing album, every track is a banger. Definitely reminds me of growing up so I'm more nostalgic versus others. Love the blend of bring punk to the pop mainstream. And I really loves the lyrics, melodies, and song breaks. Really great drums and basslines. 5/5 Favorites: Burnout, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Pulling Teeth, Basket Case, She

never was a green day fan : (

One word to describe this album and that is its name. I wish I could give this negative stars.

Can I give two Green Day albums a 5 in good conscience? Because American Idiot is one of my all time favorite albums ever. Yes, yes I can. Green Day was my favorite band as a child and it’s a wonder why my parents were surprised I had anger issues. I was quite literally headbanging to Basket Case before I understood the concepts of addition and subtraction. I think one thing that I respect listening through this in full again is that with all this rage, there’s only one explicit song on the album, which is actually so impressive. Also Bastille did a very good cover of Basket Case with a more orchestral sound if anyone’s interested in that.

I know I shouldn’t play the comparison game with these, but in some cases I feel it’s necessary. The Blue Album came out the same year as this, and it absolutely blows this out of the water. This has the much better album cover though, G’work Green Day. Also, nice cameo in This Is 40. Update: I just found out The Blue Album isn’t even in the 1001 albums, which makes this selection even more depressing.

Nostalgia bomb. Sixth grade assembly cover band Basketcase. Great bass lines and drumming. AOLnation. Glitter gloss and pimples and binder collages and always wanting the boys who don’t want you. The ultimate of uncool said the Austin hipster now himself the ultimate uncool. It all comes around and back around. Stay golden, dookie.

A fun album with some catchy songs. The drums are a particular highlight. 3.75/5

Good in places, a bit of a one trick pony

I was not much of a fan of the singles that came out from this album at the time, and so I didn't consider myself much of a Green Day fan. After I had kind of written them off, I was impressed by later work of theirs, but never got too much into them. Spending some quality time with this today, however, my appreciation grew and I connected more with their talent. It’s some solid punky rock and a great breakthrough album.

I am pretty sure that I didn't really care for Green Day all that much back in the day. I'm sure glad that this project has put them into my listening path. They do not disappoint!

Some solid fun punk. Fun.

When I bought this album not long after its release I fell in love with Green Day. At the time this wasn’t exactly my expected sort of fare and I had plenty of friends react dismissively to my enjoyment of this. But I would feel vindicated over the years as Green Day grew and eventually created the incredible American Idiot. Green Day’s catchy, fun punk-pop songs had me at hello. But there was more to these songs once you become familiar with the lyrics. The performers on this album are a little bratty, a little self obsessed, a little irreverent and way smarter than you’d expect. Dookie is an attractive, youthful album that still charms me to this day. I’m pleased to still be enjoying Dookie after all these years.

3rd April 2023 Listened in the afternoon while painting and sorting Jake and Jess cats. Chilled evening watching SNL and BCS. Ah to be 15 again.

This moves on at a pace with a decent rhythm section. It is standard stuff with no real invention but it is well done. The singer is not strong and someone better might elevate the experience.

Tämä levy ja The Offspringin Smash olivat ensimmäiset levyt, jousta skidinä kiinnostuin, joten taidan olla vähän jäävi arvioimaan tätä mitenkään. Ennen tätä oli pimeys.

Tää on loppujenlopuksi musta aika jees pop-punk levy. Kasetti ja LP-löytyy sivistyksen nimissä 3/5

Onhan tämä paljon parempi kuin American Idiot. En silti oikein jaksa.

Aikainen Green Day on tavallaan ihan hauskaa musaa. Ei kovin hyvää välttämättä, mutta kyllä se vähän hymyilyttää.

Eh

Having a Blast, Welcome to Paradise, When I Come Around. ¡Fantástico!

Good in places. Yet another guitar rocky one which isn't really me.

Third wave punk classic. Other than the throwaway last track, which might be a Daniel Johnston diss track?, there is not a bad song on this album. The run from Longview to When I Come Around is flawless and plays like a greatest hits compilation it’s so stacked with classic tracks. They hit the perfect mix of punk/slacker ethos and pure slap happy fun on this album. The next few albums that followed carried some of that forward, but they never did it again as authentically as Dookie.

Incredible album, seminal and genre defining pop punk record.

when i come arooooound

Most teenage angst driven albums tend to burn out pretty quick, on top of being shallow and cliched. Not dookie though. Besides stuffing this thing with bangers, without overextending the runtime, GD manage to pull off a rare triumph of a fun energetic and listenable pop-punk album! 4 slices of pizza, for the reminding me of my teenage years. 🍕🍕🍕🍕

neo punk

Green Day was always this mainstream'ish punk music to me so I never invested to much time in their work. Now I got suggested this album and I can say that they are alright. Some nice work from the rhythm group here. Can't say that I care too much for it. A solid listen, nothing more, nothing less.

Alright, let's dive into the world of Green Day's Dookie album. This album was a game changer for the punk rock scene and has become a timeless classic that still resonates with listeners today. It's no surprise that you feel nostalgic listening to this album as it truly captures the spirit of the early '90s and the energy of youth. One of the most remarkable things about Dookie is that every single song on this album is an absolute banger. From the iconic opening track "Burnout" to the catchy "Basket Case" and the raw energy of "She", there's no doubt that this album was made to be listened to front to back. Green Day really hits it out of the park with their musicianship and songwriting, bringing together a cohesive sound that combines punk rock, pop, and grunge elements in a way that feels fresh and exciting. As you mentioned, the standout member of the band is the drummer, Tre Cool. His speed and precision on the drums are truly something to behold and add a unique flavor to the overall sound of the album. The guitar work from Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt is also excellent, with each member bringing their own distinct style to the table. The result is a band that sounds like they've been playing together for years, even though this was only their third album. But it's not just the musical talent that makes this album so special. The lyrics and themes of the songs really capture the feelings of being in your early twenties and dealing with the general malaise of life. Tracks like "Longview" and "Welcome to Paradise" explore themes of boredom and frustration, while "She" and "F.O.D." deal with the ups and downs of relationships. Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room - the infamous hidden track. While some may argue that it's a throwaway song, it's important to remember that this was a common practice at the time. It was a nod to the era where fans were used to waiting through minutes of silence to hear something extra at the end of an album. It may be jarring to hear it slapped onto the end of the last song, but it's all part of the experience of listening to this album and adds to the overall charm. In conclusion, Dookie is a punk rock masterpiece that has stood the test of time. It's an album that captures the energy and spirit of the early '90s while also exploring the themes and emotions that are universal to all generations. Green Day's musicianship and songwriting are top-notch, and each member brings something unique to the table. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering this album for the first time, Dookie is a must-listen that will leave you feeling energized and nostalgic all at once.

Brilliant, 4.5

a bit grungy

An amazing album. While not my first intro into punk (that would be Smash) this definitely set off a long standing love affair with pop punk and bands with the Lookout sound. Tre Cool has to be on the of the best drummers in the business, and the songs all have such amazing pop sensibilities. 5/5

hits are great - rest pretty good. 4.5

A classic, nothing else left to say about this really! But I will anyway… Punky, poppy, stoner rock n roll! Some huge tunes on this that even the most alien to Green Day will know of. Basket Case, Welcome to Paradise and When I Come Around are all certified classics and I defy anyone to not love them. Album is a masterpiece.

Little Clash Junior is right cunnin'.

-banger album from a banger band

Not my favourite Green Day but still great

never really liked the lead singa dat much

I think I already pulled out the old tale about how I saw Green Day open for Bad Religion in the early '90s, very early days when they were on Operation Ivy's label and very punk. Nothing wrong with this though it seems like a textbook example of the mainstreamed major label release.

Oddly enough, I had never listened to this complete album. This is wild to imagine given that the 90s rock era is what I grew up on, and I’ve heard half of these songs more time than I care to guess on the radio. The latter perhaps being the primary reason I have not gone from start to finish. That being said, I would give this album 5 stars just because of the nostalgia bump. Thinking of the album critically and neglecting the subjective tidal wave is nearly impossible, so I’ll just give my opinion at face value. Starting with the hits: Longview, Basket Case, and When I come around have always been songs to turn up when the local radio station spins. Welcome to Paradise is less of a favorite, but still great, throw She into that category as well. The rest of the album definitely doesn’t stray from this tried and true pop-punk formula so as a generalization, the power chords and infectious choruses are what make Green Day shine. I won’t say this is a complete album that must be listened to from start to finish, but the presence of the flagship songs is enough for me to recommend this album to anyone. Sassafras Roots, and in the End are honorable mentions.

Last few songs are fairly filler, but overall a really solid album. So many hits on here.

I like this album more than I remember. It's not world beating, but it has some great tracks on it. I'm torn between a high three or low four...

So I thought this would be fairly lightweight punk based on the little Greenday I knew And for the first few tracks that’s all it seemed to be. But as the album progressed the songs got more varied and ambitious A surprisingly enjoyable listen

starts kinda bad, cant hear the lyrics, teenage angst, better by midway instrumentals and solos kinda slap basket case and when i come around are absolute bangers love the drums last 2 songs kinda meh

Pop punk is nearly always boring, so idk if this changes it *Spoiler* It did not. I liked a couple of songs (Blowout has a nice guitar tone), but I absolutely don't understand the appeal of Green Day

That was alright. Not bad, not good. Single time experience. I don't think that you can call that "punk-rock", it's more like just a plastic copy of it. It's sounds not raw at all, there's no riot, it's just a school level pop punk shit. Never was a Green Day fan, not became after that. Somebody may feel nostalgic about this album, but i have my own favorites from this era, far from this.

A high watermark for early 90s punk rock.

I have heard it so much it’s difficult to reflect on it in this way. It was the sound track to my middle school years. I wasn’t mature enough to understand the lyrics at the time and didn’t much care about music either. Looking back at it, it’s certainly a good and influential album.

A large part of teenage-starting to mow the lawn years.

meh. Not my style.

Gotta love some angst

ONE OF MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME!!!!

Five stars, no questions asked.

It's crazy to realize how many great memorable songs are on this album. I owned this album when it came out, but I didn't pay it so much... maybe because it was playing everywhere else. It's a little too pop for my taste, but with this re-listen I still can't deny how good it is. I don't want to hear it, but I get it.

Caught me on a bad day.

you really have to hand it to them. green day was one of the most important rock bands for a really long time, and dookie was one of the reasons why. i used to be absolutely obsessed with this band, i really did. i don't listen to them as much anymore, but i respect their craft, especially this early stuff. feels more challenging, but isn't that always how it goes with bands that make it big? it was good to listen to sounds from a bygone era from a band that's cleaned up their act a lot

Good punk album that has all the major early Green Day hits. Good studio debut.

Really good, catchy, energetic

I'd forgotten that "Longview," "Welcome to Paradise, "Basket Case," and "When I Come Around" were all on the same album. Those alone are worth a four-star grade, and the quality of the rest of the album bumps it up to an easy 5. This isn't just one of the best punk albums of the '90s (the only one I can think of that comes close is Rancid's "...And Out Come the Wolves," although I'm sure there are others), but one of the best album's of the '90s of any genre.

I was late to the punk scene (mostly because I had new wave/metal head friends), so this is was my first intro to pop-punk. This album came out the year I was a freshman & I instantly loved it.

So many memories tied to this album. It still holds up after all this time.

Got 3 songs into this and bailed. Really basic, cr*p songs, no discernible melody. The Dickies and Buzzcocks both did this sooooo much better, with better tunes and with actual punk spirit. All as I suspected, but at least I tried.

This felt like a Green Day Greatest Hits. All the tracks are so familiar. It's a great punk pop album. The tracks are the right duration to capture your attention before it's time to move on. It's not a revolutionary album like London Calling, etc. But Green Day deserve credit for going against the fashion at the time. Making a pop punk record in 1993 wasn't a smart move. This still stands up.

Bangin choons. Took me back to the 6th Form dayroom. #sonicsaysdontnonce

Good Job Green Day

Great stuff

Classic stuff

This was a totally groundbreaking album. Perhaps that's why, I went to see them play it in 1994 at Lollapalooza in Phoenix. It was a crazy day, particularly when everyone bumrushed the stage for the Breeders. I remember ending up near the bottom of a massive pile of people and I was so grateful that I locked my elbows as I hit the concrete. When Green Day came on, I was looking forward to it, but I have to admit that when he dropped trow and exposed himself to the crowd and started spitting on the front rows, my enthusiasm was dampened. Still, a great album and a real departure. Longview is a major song, as is Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case (my fav), She, and obviously When I Come Around. Lots and lots of strong songs and the lesser songs are very listenable.

Good stuff, replicated relentlessly throughout the album.

I think I listened to "Dookie" four times over a three-day stretch, while also listening to "Kerplunk," "Insomniac," "Nimrod," "American Idiot," and part of "21st Century Breakdown." There was a lot of Green Day that weekend. You would get the impression that I love Green Day. My biggest impression was that Billy Joe needs some Nasonex. Or a neti pot. Or a humidifier. Or a long hot shower? It turns out that I referenced some of those albums when we reviewed "American Idiot." I said "Look, we all loved some 'Dookie.' It was dumb punk fun. But we're not gonna pretend that Green Day didn't go gradually downhill from there in their next several albums." and "Who knows, maybe I would eat my words if I went back and listened to all of 'Insomniac' or 'Nimrod.'" And now I'm eating my words. I do love "Dookie." (The album.) But the two follow-ups are nearly as good, and "Dookie" might actually go on a few songs too long. I still hold them responsible for pop-punk, and still think that "American Idiot" was a maturing of their sound that worked really well. But "Dookie" was already pretty polished. (I guess you CAN polish a turd.) And yet, despite all this, I had such a hard time rating this album. I couldn't really place why I was hesitating to give it a 5, so I listened over and over and took the deep dive into their catalogue. And I still don't really have a good explanation for exactly how I feel about Green Day. I like them a lot, I think. But it's not quite love. I do love "She." Underrated best song on "Dookie."

This is the album that kickstarted my little pop-punk loving heart.

The album HOLDS UP. forever.

One could argue this is the best album of the 90s. Culturally, there are good arguments for Nirvana’s Nevermind, Pearl Jam’s Ten (even though Vs is better), and Radiohead’s OK Computer. But you know what, I like this album better than all of those. It holds up just as well as the first time I heard it. Listening again, I realize that there are a lot of lyrics on this album that I don’t know. I used to think it was cheating to read the lyrics to an album if they were in the liner notes. Like it was more authentic if you learn the words by listening over and over. My opinion now…who really cares. Regardless, this album kicks ass and is a 90s defining work.

Gave it a more thorough listen, the lyrics are better than I’ve noticed before and the non-single songs are good, too.

En ole oikeastaan ikinä kummemin fanittanut tätä bändiä, mutta oikein toimivaa settiä ja viihdyttävä levy. Pari kertaa pyöri läpi ja kuuntelen kyllä jatkossakin.

Hyvin on kestäny aikaa. Edelleen kova ja kompakti alusta loppuun

Very very good

The first cd I ever bought. A classic.

- Basket Case! Longview When I Come Around!

Sympa la chanson, quel dommage qu'ils la jouent 12 fois de suite.

The first Green Day album I was ever exposed was Nimrod. I had it on compact disc and probably owned it circa 1996. Dookie came before, so as I enjoyed more and more Green Day, I had to go back and listen to Dookie in pursuit of becoming a true fan. I appreciated the speed of it all: fast drums, fast chords, fast singing. And they had a guy called Tre Cool! So cool! Every song has that Green Day charm, and this is the most in-depth I've listened to this album since about 2001. Song I loved a lost this time around: Having A Blast, Chump, the bass riff in Longview, She, Sasafrass Roots and Coming Clean. Also LOTTA HITS: Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case and When I Come Around...all on one album. Whoa! A solid listen! Too bad they sold out in 2004, which meant a lot to an 18 year old Curtis, but a 37 year old Curtis totally gets why they did. Green Day Forever! "So why are you alone wasting your time? When you could be with me wasting your time?" -Sasafrass Roots

Before it all went wrong

I forgot how many pop chart hits this album produced. I wasn't a fan when it came out, and still not a fan of Green Day, but I get their impact and Dookie is definitely a must-listen. 3.5/5.

Super fun!!! Nostalgic and great to listen to :) it not only pulls me back to teenage years every time I listen to a GD album, it also amazes me how their music stands the test of time. The skill is evident, the words are often relatable, the passion shines through no matter how many years have passed it doesn't feel dated because the quality of sound and instrumentation is just so good (to me anyway with my limited experience and knowledge). Excellent music to get hyped and motivated to get loads of work done haha. Pulling Teeth and Basket Case obviously highlights I love F.O.D. too.

Obviously this isn't my go to Green Day album and for me isn't as mega as American Idiot but there are obviously classics on here. I think it holds up!

It's an absolute belter. Love it all. Interestingly Welcome to Paradise was on Dookie but originally on their previous album Kerplunk.

Just an awesome album. Nothing much else to say. The hits alone warrant a 5. Banger city. TBz 1. Welcome to Paradise 2. When I Come Around 3. Longview 4. Basket Case 5. She

When I come around is such a classic but otherwise don’t like this album too much. Woulda went hard early 2000s though no doubt

Tbc
