I like their newer stuff better but this was so good. So many classics.

They hit just at the right time. Some undeniable hits here. Pop/Punk, Clash Lite, but not bad. A solid first album for a band that has really carved out their niche.

More pop than punk, diet rebellion for the mildly disaffected. And some absolute, bonafide classics.

Альбом в духе группы, нормал

Best sort of Dookie

3.8 - Enjoyed, good fun

I would skip the first two songs and go Chump into Longview to start the album - I like the clean track transition. There are some good pop rock songs here but Basket Case does kinda blow everything else out of the water. Fave Tracks: Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case 3.7/5

One of my favorite albums growing up. Would listen to this constantly on my Walkman in the bus. Sadly didn't hold up as much as I remember. Going 4 but likely deserves 5

Back to back four stars. Please keep it rolling 🙏🏼

Nostalgia, and I'm not ashamed to score as such. Still holds up, but probably pulling from those fond adolescent memories.

Album name: Dookie. Album quality: not dookie

Me singing When I Come Around with the lyrics of Be Our Guest quite annoyingly

Been 25+ years since I had listened to this album. It was popular with classmates when it came out. I appreciated different genre's of music at the time and never really listened to this one. Would listen to again (being my criteria for a 4).

Not a big Green Day guy but this has some good tracks. Nice nostalgia.

Just fun really. Feels very care-free and kiddish, I think anyone can enjoy the hits on here really. Generally pretty good.

Great album, not usually a rock person, but this one was a great listen, I give it a 4.5, but I always round down...

Not a bad album, plus a star for the pure nostalgia of it.

Good album. Enjoyable listen.

Riktigt bra grejer!

Dude, is fricken dookie. Stef said it should be a10 out of 10. She didn't listen to it though. I did.. all by myself.

Jó félchill lemez

Pretty classic pop rock sound. I like it, lyrics are pretty good, but it’s a bit too basic for me, and kind of just monotone with some variation sometimes.

4.5. Trying to not have too many 5 stars but this could easily be one.

I like it, generally a good album. The songs particularly would probably require time to become playlist staples, but I can definitely see the potential.

Сначала было максимально скучно, а потом даже удовольствие получил

another to the list of albums heard through my brothers bedroom wall. I remember as a kid looking at the cover art and trying to see all the literal shitflinging. This is the Green Day I'm most familiar with. The singles off this album still hit, Longview, When I Come Around, and Basket Case are still in rotation today, The rest of the album is still good, but doesnt reach those highs. I remember my brother leaving the room and All By Myself played, being creeped out by it, I told my brother about it and he said no such song exists as he showed me the track listing. As I've aged I learn that it was a secret track and I'm not insane or haunted.

I don’t like punk music but this was some good pop punk!

This shit went crazy when i was 14

Favs: when I come around, she, basket case, Longview. AMAZING DRUMS!! Big big fan

I always avoided Green Day because I thought they were like hippie punk rock with no meaning. This album really opened some doors for me, really creative and interesting and no I'm in a rabbit hold of Green Day albums. Entertaining stuff

Очень классный альбом, динамика, детали, тут есть все что нужно, но понравилось не все треки.

As someone that only experienced the nineties as a toddler, this is totally what I consider the soundtrack of the decade. That raw, pre-pubescent energy you got as a teenager when the world was yours and you didn’t give a fuck. All distilled into 40 minutes of peak pop punk. Personally, I think I like the songs individually more than the complete package. Punk, whether in the pop variety or not, tends to create repetitive albums and Dookie isn’t really an exception. But that’s honestly a nitpick and in general, it’s hard to ignore the impact this album had for the band and music in general. It’s make me feel like a nineties kid… even if I remember literally nothing from it. Favorite track: When I Come Around Other hits: Basket Case, Welcome to Paradise, She, Longview, Burnout

Love this album

Now this is good shit, Maybe its just nostalgia though

A lot of bangers I didn't realize were on the same album, and didn't realize this was Green Day's major debut album. Definitely an introduction of a unique sound to the scene. Some of the harmonies and vocal patterns sound Beach Boys reminiscent sometimes.

took like 3 songs to get good. a little unremarkable (might as be because it's my first time listening, I will get used to them) but I enjoyed most of the tracks. pulling teeth continues to be my fav song from the tracklist even after finishing the whole album.

A good listen. There's definitely some bangers in here, but also some fairly mid tracks. Fun instrumentals and vocal work here and there. 'Basket Case' was my fave.

Eigentlich ist Punk ja nicht so meine Stilrichtung, aber das hat was

Dobry, klasika

The one-two punch of Longview and Welcome to Paradise rips

So of its time and still so relevant.

Genuinely great

Still great at 36

Blast from my teenage past, so probably a bit biased by that, but still a very cool pop/skate punk record!

I'm not that big Green Say fan but both their albums from this list are pretty great and quite different from each other. This one, their breakout record, is a staple of pop punk and has basically defined the genre since its release. There's not much to it musically, actually, it's all very simple and straightforward. Perfect music to turn your brain off to. Key tracks: Burnout Longview Basket Case When I Come Around

A lot of the songs are very similar but there are few that are excellent pop-punk-emo songs that seem to have preceded modern emo that I enjoy

Burnout 4 Having a Blast 4.1 Chump 4.1 Longview 4.2 Welcome to Paradise 4.3 Pulling Teeth 3.8 Basket Case 4 She 3.8 Sassafras Roots 4 When I Come Around 4.2 Coming Clean 3.6 Emenius Sleepus 3.5 In the End 3.5 F.O.D. 3.3 Score: 3.885714286

I sin genre är detta en suverän skiva. Sen kan jag tycka att den här typen av poppig punk tenderar att bli lite långtråkig över en hel skiva, men oavsett har denna så många bra låtar att betyget blir en fyra åt det starkare hållet.

Love me some green day. This album and nimrod were in heavy rotation as a kid.

Never really realized until just now just how great the bass sounds on this album. Brings it from good to great!

This album holds significance to me. When this record came out I was 12 years old and it was a staple at the time. There was girl that was the neighbor to my best friend. Her Mom was dating the neighbors Dad. She was from another town and went to another school so she didn't know what a dweeb I was so she would hang out with us/me. I remember she had come over to my friend's house and we listened to the album in his room. She had this perfume that smelled like coconut that was popular at the time but I don't recall the brand. She really loved the song "She" so we had that on repeat. Later we watch Pet Sematary Two, it was awful but the girl and I weren't paying much attention. We were cuddled up together and I was all in my adolescent feels. Once the movie ended my friend and I walked her home, it was cold outside and she had a thin coat. Me being a gentleman gave her my Charlotte Hornets starter jacket to wear. Once we got to her place she pulled me in and kissed me, my first real kiss tongue and all. I stood there petrified not knowing what to do, butterflies fluttering. It was brief but memorable and embarrassing now. She gave me back my coat and it smelled like her for weeks. I would play Dookie on a loop for the next couple weeks. Eventually she made friends that went to my school and she attended for one day. The friends she made were the popular girls and it didn't take long for her to find out I was not very cool and broke up with me that day. I was crestfallen. That said, I can't hear this album without thinking about that brief moment in time. Not that she hurt me cause I wasn't cool enough, hell I knew I wasn't cool and she might be out of my league. It was the kiss and the smell of her.

I never listened to this album fully. Growing up as a millennial you were either green day or blink 182 camp. I was in the latter. Skipping the singles cause everyone's heard them. I did really enjoy Warning and parts of American idiot. So far the standouts are: Chump, Sassafras roots, She, emenius sleep, f.o.d,

was talking to someone tdy and they referred to green day among other rock bands (i.e. radiohead, blur) from this era as loser rock, and i couldn't have said it better myself i love loser rock

some great songs but a bit samey

Tre Cool is such an underrated drummer. This was never my favorite GD album but the less major songs really grew on me this listen

Easily prefer this to American Idiot. Better songwriting, less obnoxious, not about Bill Clinton. Just a solid pop punk album.

En stabil powerpop/ punkpop som jag och dottern lyssnar på tillsammans.

Banger after banger. And a few non-singles I don't think I've ever heard. But what a great launch of a career. Super good. And the bonus track is ridiculous.

Have listened to this off and on for many many years. Still hits it when I'm in the right mood!

Симпатично, но ничего особо не зацепило

Nostalgia bomb holds up

Wall to wall bangers.

Very fun American poo punk rock

Basket case is an absolute banger

very excited to see this one come up green day certainly took an awful turn. there was a point when you could not escape "lonely road." But that doesn't exist right now. This album is a moment of eternal summer. Adolescent pre-rebellion. Aggravated annoyance. The whole essence of being bored in your house while your parents are at work and all the things that go climbing through your head. my very first experience with this album was through a friend of mine. Instead of doing anything at school he would fill up notebooks with song lyrics. Sometimes he would give them to me. My parents found the scrawl of Longview in my backpack and I got in trouble. i listened to so much punk rock in high school. In the purity of that subculture i didn't allow myself to enjoy the simple pleasure of green day. they were too commercial and the music wasn't hard enough. I reformed my ways and came around to this album later in high school. damn i feel happy listening to this music. It's a little bit of pop and a little bit of punk but no so much of that combination that it becomes cloying. it's just really easy to listen to. I want to Karaoke Basket Case right now. i'm giving this album a 4. i just like the way it makes me feel.

listened to this for the first time at matt clark's house in probably the fifth grade, all sweaty from riding our bmx bikes around the neighborhood. he had a mark brunell jersey on. we were eating those little chalk candy cigarettes, gobbling them like wood chippers. first riff i learned on guitar was "brain stew." not on this record, but of note. grew apart from green day through high school and tuned way out by the time they hit the american idiot/eyeliner phase. not bc of the message; it just read as a lame and desperate attempt at relevance from old dudes. little black outfits and suspenders and ties. punk twee with fauxhawks. the music didn't resonate with me at the time. i was into my classic rock phase, worshipping the who and zeppelin. i liked my dudes long haired and barechested and sepia toned, not looking like my weird awkward cousin at my great aunt's funeral. burnout makes apathy and immaturity fun, something to strive for. chump gets more interesting at the middle of song; the drum and bass bit with the ringing triplet chords and the excellent transition into longview. good bassline and great interaction of all three instruments. a song about apathy, watching tv, and masturbating. a winner. welcome to paradise. i like this song a lot. love how he starts singing the title in the chorus half a second before the instruments come back, the descending backing vocals. bass solo. pulling teeth. 50s style rock n roll singalong. love it. the middle of this record kicks. great guitar tone on the solo. basket case has such a killer chorus. was this on a THPS game? "she" comes dangerously close to boring power chord country until the scream and the guitar tone change. bring that baby forward in the mix boys. sassafras roots. the bass saves it, but not my favorite. it's a song. good question chorus. we still slacking, but real fast. when i come around. god that's a great song. bounces along. a real guitar riff, unlike the last song. bass ducking and weaving around under it. good slow short ringy guitar solo. in the end. drum and bass grab my attention again. FOD. nice acoustic into electric.

This album came out when I was 7. I don't think I was really aware that this band existed til American Idiot came out in 2004 and ruined everyones lives. Atleast it felt like that to me at the time. Nothing about being blasted all over MTV and the Billboard charts and 35 years old with eyeliner felt punk at all. I digress. This album art is awesome. It's burned into my psyche. This is meant to be listened to on 10. Shit is catchy. Dookie is a funny word. Makes be yearn for the 90s CHUMP rolls right into LONGVIEW really seamlessy, not really something I expected from a punk album. LONGVIEW is a killer track. I'm not acquainted enough with punk to apprecite this record fully or to properly hate on it. light 4.

The instrumental was amazing, only downside is that the vocals were more often than not very quiet compared to the instruments and I personally don’t like that.

It's a fun album with some great pop-punk songs, lacks a bit of variety from one song to the next but it's got great energy throughout

very nostalgic, a classic fo suuure

Soundtrack of 1994.

i know that many don’t consider green day to be real punk music, throwing around the term “pop punk” almost as a perjorative, but the punk genre was never really meant to have mass appeal. by definition, if a band can sell over 20 million copies of one album (as this album has), it has popular appeal. this album and this band are pop punk, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. it’s a fun album that definitely has punk elements, but it would be a mistake to label this as merely “punk” without also attaching “pop” to it.

Man it's been awhile since I've listened to this. Back in high school I was more into Green Day's 2000s stuff but I think its time for me to admit that this is better than "American Idiot". It really captures that 90s sleaze! Favorite track: Longview

People describes "Dookie" as "Adolescence: The Album". and as a adolescent, i think they are right. 4/5

Punk rock. Pretty good, doesn’t quite reach the same heights as American Idiot, still a jammer throughout.

I mean, it's Dookie. I get why this record has garnered the attention it has, and I'd give it an easy 5 if I were ranking based on influence. I do think there's better stuff out there, even in Green Day's own discography and it's got to be said it's a rather static record, it just does what it does really really well.

YES! Haven't listened to this one in a hot minute.

Hasn’t listened to this one in ages. There are some big hits, but also some average stuff mixed in. Didn’t hold up as well as I might have predicted, but at this point I’m also far from the target age for this. If I put myself back in that time and age I can feel the thrill of it. At this point for me it’s a 3.5, but I can remember when it meant more than that.

Some great hits and high points, even if the rest kinda blends together a bit.

The mainstream pop-punk classic. Overplayed in its day, but still a fun listen.

Partially listened before Favourite tracks: Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Having a Blast

Who knew the better part of an album could be written about masturbation.

Still a great album.

Nice I mean basket is the best which is why it’s one of their number songs but I can’t remember the other songs so I wouldn’t say it’s notable to me.

Upbeat and fun with a heavy sound, Dookie might just be the shit.

My kids got me the Dookie CD for Father's Day 30 years ago, I believe. Thankfully I don't think they understood some of the lyrics. And I like the album better now than way back when. I am going to round up to a 4.

I don’t like punk rock, but if I had to listen to one punk record, it would be this one. Billie Joe’s singing saves it for me — it’s melodic and not shouty. Doesn’t hurt that this is the first album I ever owned!

Iconic album and album title. It’s not a 5 because I’m not playing this music for my enjoyment, I’m listening to it like I look at art in a museum.

peak fun summery juice

I liked it

Bueno

This takes me back to high school. Just a fun record with a lot of energy and you get the sense that everyone had a blast making this.

The background music to my life in middle school. Absolute classic album that helped to put punk back in the mainstream and start my lifelong love for the genre. A solid inclusion on this list

Quintessential punk rock album

Great ass album!

If not the most innovative stuff out there, it sure is a fun listen. It starts out with a bang and never stops — to the point that my ears were craving some breathers in between.

Rock was in a weird place in the 90's. Just to make sure, I read through the biggest albums up until Dookie. There were some last gaps of the hair scene, some big albums from established acts like REM, U2, Billy Joel, and Aerosmith, but it was mostly just grunge. It dominated rock for three years so solidly that the only new acts in the genre with a major album that I could find were the Red Hot Chili Peppers, 4 Non Blondes, the Cranberries and Melissa Etheridge. It seemed like the only answer to grunge was Lilith Fair. Which makes this album a big deal. It's apparently the biggest selling punk album ever, and helped to give an alternative to grunge in mainstream rock, to the point that the next decade was a clash of post-grunge and pop punk. Is it good, though? Yeah. There's three rock staples on the album, and the rest of the album is more of the same. It does grate on me after a while, and I wish it would mix the sound up a bit more, but this is definitely the punk album I've enjoyed the most. So far. I'm assuming London Calling is coming, and it's not American Idiot, but for now, this wins the punk crown so far. I also think this album, along with American Idiot, draws a line between punk and pop punk, so I'm not sure how I'm going to classify the "number bands" genre, if there are any on this list.

01) Burnout - 7,5 02) Having a Blast - 7,5 03) Chump - 7,5 04) Longview - 9,0 05) Welcome to Paradise - 8,0 06) Pulling Teeth - 7,5 07) Basket Case - 10,0 08) She - 8,0 09) Sassafras Roots - 7,5 10) When I Come Around - 10,0 11) Coming Clean - 7,0 12) Emenius Sleepus - 7,5 13) In the End - 7,5 14) F.O.D. - 7,5 TOTAL: 8,00 (80/100) Current ranking: 156/484

i love punk, and i love pop punk. green day never clicked for me for some reason. it's good, but i don't recognize it as amazing

I enjoy some Green Day, this is definitely one of their best albums

Maybe this is the 00s nostalgia talking, but always have had a soft spot for Green Day. This is a good pop punk album, with the clear highlight "When I Come Around." Enjoyed it!

Good

Just some solid pop-punk that anyone can enjoy. One of Green Day's best.

Really good

very much enjoy the virgin vibes of the album and the music of it all

Punk rock, lots of recognizable songs

Good album

You can really see how this was the pivotal album to spark pop punk, as it doesn't regard the original punk spirit at all, but instead lends its eyes at catchy melodies and high energy bangers. The dynamic builds and pauses before the chorous hits is frequently used to good effect, as on "When I come around".

Highlights: Chump, Basketcase, Welcome to Paradise, Sassafras Roots. In a nutshell: a spit shine for punk rock. You gotta hand it to Green Day- they were determined to sound awesome. Compare the Kerplunk! recording of Welcome to Paradise with the Dookie version. The changes are nuanced but getting help with the production made WTP sound punchier. I went in only knowing three songs- Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case and When I Come Around. The outro on Chump is magnificent, neatly transitioning into the next track (Longview). Maybe front loaded, but Dookie still kicks ass. Overall: 8/10

fuckin grand

dumbass name for an album but god damn was this a good phase

would have been a 5 star if they had kept the original name

The standard for pop punk, a genre I still really don't care for in general, but damn this album rips and is worth the hype.

8/10 I believe I’m rating this relative to my mixed but growing appreciation of American Idiot, it’s definitely a better album in context of their second wind in my mind, not that it isn’t great, but I have more an appreciation for where they came from compared to their later records that I think are hit or miss. This, alongside Smash by Offspring, is another necessary Pop Punk foundation for the youth, though it seems like the aesthetics and sound of Dookie have aged much better and have had a grip on “Alternative” culture than most Rock or Punk albums from that decade. It comes with the unfortunately annoying conversations regarding what is “REAL PUNK” but it’s still good that it exists. I love the energy on this album a lot, though it comes with the downside of feeling “same-y” throughout, I appreciate its outcast syndrome and dejected feelings with the humor throughout. Shoutout bisexuals that say the f slur fr

Great album and to the point.

During the 1970s and early 1980s, punk music was intense, direct, and rooted in non-conformity, protesting against the establishment and authoritarianism. It was a chaotic sound intended to cut through the overwhelming presence of mainstream culture, compelling you to stop, listen, and take notice. Dookie isn't that type of punk. In the early 90s, Green Day emerged as one of the pioneering pop-punk bands to achieve mainstream success, focusing on enjoyment and accessibility. Although their sound had similarities to 70s punk, the lyrical themes revolved more around individual experiences like boredom, anxiety, relationships, and sexuality. Rather than protesting against societal structures, they expressed frustrations of their own personal experiences within society. And it was refreshing following the bleak and intense nature of the grunge music era. When this album was released, I was in my final year of university. I wasn't a punk kid (or especially emo), but I understood what they were saying. I loved the catchy hooks, the quick tempo, the powerful guitars, the harmonies, and the drum beats that made it impossible to remain still. There are some Grade A songs on this album ("Longview", "Basket Case", and "When I Come Around") - 30+ years on, the album holds up. The only downside is how the album ends. But then again, perhaps "All by Myself" embodies a feeling similar to releasing air from a balloon. It is over. Time to deflate.

Fun short songs, little variety. low 4

It's a solid pop punk record. Really catchy, ultimately a little samey for my tastes. F.o.D is my top track for sure.

Funny commentary on things.

One of the best albums by one of the most iconic modern punk rock bands. I used to be more into Green Day back in the day, so my rating might be influenced by teenage nostalgia, but this album leaves little to criticize. One could wish for a little more variety, because the songs do tend to sound quite similar, but in this case I would consider it as “Delivered as ordered”.

I really liked this but I don't think it's their best album.

Unclear how to be objective in my assessment of this album. Green day is all nostalgia for me and I love it. I was vibing through the whole album. Is it repetitive? Yes, but I don't mind for some reason!

This was pretty good. A lot of songs I like.

I was excited for this one. It holds up, but wouldn't say it's the best of GDs earlier albums. It's a little homogenous, but I'll take it any day!

Green Day's 'sellout' album. I mean, the singles on this defined punk in the 90s. Basket Case still hits as hard as the first time I heard it. Mike Dirnt is just annihilating his kit. Tre Cool is in the background shredding the bass. Billie Joe is about as intelligible as Eddie Vedder but you still want to sing along. You've got the whole MTV generation singing about masturbating. Non-single She is probably my favorite Green Day song. This is the definitive pre American Idiot Green Day album . What more do you want? Holy shit, I forgot about All By Myself. Hilarious and creepy.

Raddest shit ever when I was a teenager and not too bad now! Some very impressive musicianship from some snotty young men, and it’s fun. If you’re in the right head space this record still has all the charms.

Dookie held up pretty well honestly, this was a fun listen and more detailed than I remembered it to be. Rating: 4.25

Classic pop punk. Biased slightly as they are one of the best and most consistent live acts about but it slaps

Still an absolute banger album.

14 year old me loved this album. It still holds up

ah to be 14 again :)

Still a classic.

Classic

Strong 4, almost a 4.5 for me.

Fun teenage dirtbag neurosis in 2 minute doses. It's snappy, good bass, good drums and easy to sing along with. First time listening to the album as a whole and surprised at both how many hits there are and the plethora of great one liner lyrics. "Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?"

A surprising number of hits on this album. The end kind of lost the thread, but overall pretty good!

Already owned this one. For a reason. It’s great!

[7/10]

First cd I ever bought with my own money. This is probably a 5 star for me based on nostalgia alone. Haven’t listened to the whole thing in probably 25 years, so I’m excited to give it another spin. Giving it a listen, I could make the same criticism I did for Guns N’ Roses’ album — music for teenage boys of a certain era — and it doesn’t hit the same way now that I’m in my 40s. Still a great example of pop music from the 90s though, and something I enjoyed coming back to.

Day 30: Dookie - Green Day. Green Day album 1/2. I DID IT ALL FOR THE DOOKIE (C'MON) THE DOOKIE (C'MON), SO YOU CAN TAKE THAT COOKIE!!! Wait, sorry...wrong thing. Pop punk is a less-abrasive punk sub-genre in comparison to classic 1970's punk rock. However, it does not necessarily mean that there is less angst involved in the music. While I'm not a fan of punk music, I'm very glad that a new generation of punk music has been spawned in the 1990's. Green Day, along with bands like blink-182 and Sum 41, have fronted the 1990's pop punk scene. I find cheerful melodies paired with angst-filled lyrics of pop punk songs to be quite interesting, and they feel very nostalgic. I like it. Personally, I prefer American Idiot over Dookie. I feel like if you grew up listening to Green Day, you wouldn't grow out of their music, and this would feel much cooler. I, however, grew up listening to P!nk. Anyway, there's quite a bit of variety in this album, and I like that. Personal Enjoyment: 3/5. How Much It Belongs Here: 4/5.

Taught myself a lot of these songs when I got my guitar.

Classic Pop Punk right here.

Dookie is stacked with pop-punk classics that still hold up decades later. Green Day really found their sweet spot here — catchy hooks, snotty vocals, and just enough angst to soundtrack a teenager slamming the bedroom door. "Welcome to Paradise" might technically be a re-release, but it's still an all-time banger. "Basket Case" takes the top spot for me though — and not just because of the Roll Tide energy. If there’s a weak link, it’s probably “In The End,” which feels more filler than fire. Still, this album helped define a genre, and it earns its four stars easy.

I really don't like pop punk, but I'll set my prejudices aside and admit that I quite enjoyed this album. The album is 38 minutes with 15 songs so it's pretty jam-packed with short hard hitting songs. The album has some of the better Green Day hits on it like Welcome to Paradise and When I Come Around. The album tracks aren't all as memorable but they're nice to hear and just as fun as the rest. The closer was a bit of a useless bummer but otherwise a fun listen. Still not punk though.

I have this one. Catchy as hell

i grew up with this album, my dad constantly playing songs from this band. this is basically the album that made me want to learn guitar. fun album, a bit repetitive at times but it’s paved a way for green day. the album’s overall theme is just really relatable and i’ve dreamt of living the life of an unemployed man in his mid twenties, masturbating as a pastime activity. something about the theme really just sparks an inspiration in me. like there’s a beauty in living in a loop and constantly in boredom. dookie isn’t the best album ever (to me, at least) but it has made a significant impact on my life. and i think, just because it’s a simple pop punk album doesn’t mean it’s bad. you don’t need to shred the mixolydian scale to make a song sound good. the story behind an album matters much more to me rather than technical complexity. sorry for the little rant

Classic Green Day. Songs that trigger nostalgia, yet they hail from a time before mine. I liked Green Day songs before, but this album gives me a greater appreciation… for how shit some of their older stuff is. Dookie is in fact the word I would use to describe “21 Guns”. Cool, fun, sellouts but they sound good!

Some nostalgia value but wouldn't be my favorite band today.

How can you tell Green Day from other popular artists? Other artists play in major or minor key, but Green Day plays in Dookie.

Another one from my childhood. My older brother and his friends played this one a lot. Nostalgia aside, these dudes know how to write catchy pop songs. 3.5

"Basket Case" is one of my favourite songs of all time, and I love "When I Come Around" too. To be honest, the rest of the album was fine, though I found it a bit repetitive. 3.5 rounded up

Basket Case, When I Come Around

Fun and solid. The punk-ier songs tend to blend together and sound very similar. The best parts of this album are when Green Day move away from the punk sound and actually let the songs breathe and develop. Has enough of both worlds to be great, but not excellent. Top tracks: Basket Case, She, When I Come Around

timeless

A 90s classic - Green Day is always a nostalgia trip. Whilst they might not be quite our go to anymore, they're a classic for a reason. We enjoyed this.

sometimes I give myself the creeps

Bass makes this. Transition from chump to Longview is chefs kiss

It’s been about 20 years since I last listened to this album front to back, and it still slaps. Tre’s drumming is particularly noteworthy on this one. So much of the music I listened to growing up was directly inspired by Green Day and this album. Holds lots of nostalgia for me. Standout songs: Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case

I love it!!

80/100

I like this album plenty but Green Day falls short of 5 star worthy for me generally.

7/10. Good album. Some classics.

Dookie Not necessarily my favourite genre, but I have a bit of a soft spot for this sort of pop punk, post grunge and pre emo, and this is surely the best example of this type of music. It’s not their fault they birthed Sum 41, Blink 182, Cupboard 37, Hook 92 and Toast 13, and that Busted and McFly teenified them. Their melodic sensibilities are clear, and while some songs are stronger than others when it’s good it’s really good; Longview (one of the better songs about wanking) Welcome to Paradise and Basket Case are excellent, catchy bits of power-pop-punk. Lyrically they stand apart from their peers too, there’s none of the puerile lyrics of Blink 182 and they eschew the self pitying, cringeworthy, teenage, my parents hate me whininess of many other bands. Their focus on the frustration, boredom, anxiety and the limited horizon of teenage and young adult life feels true to life and authentic in a way many punk, metal and alt bands from the same time do not. It’s a really enjoyable listen, with some great highs and generally solid tracks. As it’s the best example of this sort of thing It just crosses into the 4s 💩💩💩💩 Playlist submission: Basket Case is obviously great, but I’ll go with Longview

I'm personally not a huge Green Day fan but I'm also not a Green Day hater and of the random albums ive been listening to this one was closest to my regular music taste so it was a bit of a breath of fresh air. I'd say it's a pretty good album all the songs just sound like Green Day

Nostalgic.

3.5 stars rounded up. The singles and b-sides like Sassafras Roots are great. The rest is serviceable 90s pop punk.

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip down memory lane. It holds up pretty well too! Although the hidden track (not so hidden these days, on Spotify) wasn't needed and leaves a bit of a sour taste after a really well put together pop-punk masterpiece.

Bardzo fajne. W zasadzie to równy album, bez słabych piosenek, ale z kilkoma bardzo dobrymi. Takie 4/5. Piosenki z największą liczbą wyświetleń najlepsze. Nie jest to zaskakujące.

The same mix of cultural factors that produced this album also produced Weezer and Foo Fighters. Listen one of the three bands and you will hear echos of the other two. This is a really good album with multiple radio hits and enough edge to keep it real. I personally prefer one notch closer to punk on the pop-punk spectrum, but there is no denying that Green Day rocks.

Ein tolles Album, dass man sich immer wieder anhören kann.

Modern punk rock at its finest

i own a t-shirt i love dearly with this album cover from when the album was first released. this is one of green day's best albums, and completely encompasses the self indulgent, immature, and yet somehow endearing teenage spirit of pop punk. billie joe armstrong is "one of those melodramatic fools" and i love him for it.

7/10

the ninetiest album, straight teenage dirtbag vibes, i dig it. basket case is a classic when i come around is another classic all by myself is probably the best way to end this 90s ride i really liked this album

Pop punk is a risible genre which took the righteous anger of its forerunners and replaced it with a petulant ‘passage a l’act’ which didn’t accomplish much more than egocentric whinging. ‘Dookie’ is partly responsible for this, right down to the sensory overload of shit puns and childish in-jokes that populate the front cover of its sleeve. But flip it over to the rear cover and you get closer to Green Day’s mission statement here: a close up from one of their chaotic gigs around the time showing a sweaty mosh pit of frenzied kids. It was these kids that the band were talking to, disclosing the frustrations of middle America’s suburban neuroses. It might be largely superficial, but it’s a theme that the band really perfected here in a set of 14 excellent songs. It’s hard to believe this is the same guy who wrote American Idiot, because everything he and Mike Dirnt touched on this record was pretty much gold. The production is immense, with Armstrong’s barking guitar mingling with Dirnt’s elastic bass playing to propel you through this record at a breathless pace. This conciseness, clearly indebted to the Ramones, is my favourite part of the album, and even when they slow the pace down in tracks like “Pulling Teeth” (a real highlight), they still conjure up some power pop genius. Re-listening to this reminded me how many of these tracks had seeped into my brain as a teenager, and even if Green Day were already churning out brilliant albums before Dookie, this one is arguably a cut above the rest of their discography. All that being said, something makes me reluctant to give it a perfect score. Possibly it’s juvenile pretensions are just to overbearing to ignore, especially when you see Dookie constantly placed in discussions of ‘great punk albums’. It might not have aged all that well, but it’s still a fantastic listen nonetheless.

Currently on the second song "Having a Blast", so far, I think this album is pretty upbeat, energetic, fun, and catchy. The instrumentals are really hooking me, the vocals not so much, I never really enjoyed green day's singing... ><.

Classic

I have fond memories of this album: owning a CD player type FM stereo and popping my Dookie CD in it that I got from the Mall's FYE. Playing Minecraft on the 360 with my brother while listening to Dookie. Good memories. Now, I'm not completely in love with every song but it holds up and will always be an enjoyable listen.

Solid listen. Got some confirmed classic but All by Myself was a rough way to end the album.

Good album

A sensação de nostalgia que senti ao ouvir Dookie... É como se já as tivesse ouvido as músicas, mesmo que eu não as conhecesse. Essa sensação nostalgica demostra a força e a originalidade de Green Day.

Their best album. It’s a shame to lump it in with pop punk. It’s a bit more interesting than that.

Green Day were at the forefront of the 90's/00's pop punk surge. A ton of big hits on this album. It started off kind of slow but really got going. I remember my older cousins were obsessed with this album.

# Playlist track - Basket Case # Notes - Super fun! - I happened to listen to this a lot as a pre-teen, so it feels really nostalgic. Still, after all this years it feels young, fresh and energetic. - Not quite punk, not quite pop. But that's not really an issue. - Album would do better without the last 3-4 songs, but they are not terrible. Cost 1 star from my review tho!

I really can't stand Green Day but this album slaps. Greats songs except for \"All By Myself\" which is just a ridiculous, adolescent ode to onanism. I guess that's to be expected from an album named after what the artwork monkey is trying to decide to throw (or not). This was a fun album - it's too bad Green Day sees themselves so self-important these days.

i do love an album that flows and the first 4 tracks here are great. want to 5* it but despite it being a good solid album it misses some wow factor

Accomplished Pop-Punk-Rock album. I liked it.

As good an example of pop-punk as you are likely to find. This still holds up pretty well.

This makes being a loser sound cool as hell.

If it was just about what’s on the album, I’d give it a 5, but this album is the starting point that ended up with me hearing pop punk type sounds in modern country pop and that just makes me fucking sad.

Been years since I last listened to this. Still pretty fresh! Lyrically, I didn't pay much attention when it first came out, but there's some pretty solid poetry underneath those three chords. Punks that can play! The hits still sound great -- and the filler stuff is at least passable. I've long thought that "She" is one of the overlooked GD songs. Just pump your fist and go with it.

An amazing collection of guitar-driven pop songs. Always happy to hear this record, and still holds up after more than 25 years. A hugely influential album. In my opinion, the pinnacle of pop punk. 4⭐️

Plenty of stand out tracks on offer here 💪

Punks been dead so many times, but now time has blunted the 1977 to 1994 to the point where the kids are probably unable to tell the difference. These boys sang british, confusing matters. Any Billy Joe is a pretty good frontman and songwriter, love the Dirnt harmonies, simple but effective, and Mr. Cool is an effective drummer. And a better one than say the lately "GOATed" Mr. Barker, at least for my tastes. Anyway some pretty assured songwriting and performance, and some memorable epoch defining songs on this one.

Great punk rock album, which introduced me to the genre 30 years ago, at a time when most the rock chart was metal and grunge. Lot of the early classics like Basket Case, Longview and When I Come Around. 4/5

Enjoyed, a bit samey. As expected. 7/10

Très Disney Channel

8/10 I had too much fun listening to this album when I was a kid to give it any less. Still a fun listen. 11-19-2024

Big 4. Multiple classics that i enjoy.

Melodischer Punk. Geradliniger Pop mit viel Kraft könnte man auch sagen. Wow.

A great album. I wore this thing out in High School

A fine album all around.

14/11/24 I would have given this album 5 stars but I didn't realise when the songs were changing as they all sounded too similar.

This album was me discovering I would have been a real loser if I was a teenager in the 90’s lmao

Another album my teenage self loved, just before their American Idiot era. It’s still great but for me especially the most famous songs on it.

Very effective punk rock with moments of greatness and sometimes cheeky 4.25

4☆/5 11.08.2024

Far more enjoyable than I'd expected. Not sure if I'd call it punk, but I don't think anyone should care either. It's a top notch 3 piece band - each instrument can shine and there is still room for some joyous snotty nosed teenage musings.

Took a as minute to get going and settle in, but a great album with a quiet, weird, but fun ending I had never heard.

Puts the pop in punk. Very teenage, very one-note, but I can't help but like it. Songs to hate suburbia by. Billie Joe's voice is whiny, but it's a pleasant whine. There are also some great basslines on here. Yes, there's very much a formula that they stick to here, but it's rarely boring. As befitting a POP punk album, the best songs on this are the singles. They knew. Fav tracks: Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, When I Come Around

Takes me back

Dookie is so good. I love Dookie. Once I had Dookie in my ears, I was having a great time 👍🏻 Not the Green Day I grew up loving but in retrospect (which is the case for a lot of my fav Pop Punk bands as a kid) their early sound is so so strong and this is like, probably their best work

i feel like i have ostrich egg all over my noggin

First half is top notch, after basket case gets a bit filler-y. Welcome to Paradise is such a tune. 3.75/5

Green day are so recognisable and this was a great listen. Basket case a highlight but a fun listen throughout

Favorite Track: When I Come Around

Love

Malgré une apparence d’explosion et de désorganisation, tout est orchestré et réglé au quart de tour. Il y a du génie dans la finesse des paroles et son alliage rythmique à la musique

Punk pop on the rise.

Straight up manic, hyperactive VIBES. Absolutely loved most of the songs. Weird ending songs though, feels like they just phoned that in. Maybe by design?

good silly fun. simple constant instrumentation is pushed to creative limits in the best way

Standout bangers interspersed with pop-punk that gets you going. The sound may fall on the commercial side but the earnest themes about anxiety, loneliness and mental health prevent it from being cynical or trite. Will definitely relisten.

This is definitely one of the reasons i’m doing this. I used to think Green Day was on the really bad side of punk where you couldn’t believe they would actually do anything punk whatsoever. That may still be true but I have a lot more respect for their music and band as a whole

makes me feel like a skater

Pretty fun! Songs blur together a bit. The singles stand out and I don't think it's just because I knew them already. Of the album tracks I liked Pulling Teeth a lot. 3.5/4

There are some men of a certain age, probably wearing an old Ramones t shirt that’s a bit too small for them nowadays, who would look at this album and complain that it’s not ‘proper punk’. I would counter by saying that here we have 15 banging tunes in 38 minutes, dealing with boredom, alienation, growing up in an uncertain world that just doesn’t care, as well as the usual teenage concerns of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll. What could be more punk than that?

Funk as puck 🤘 Yeah, that was fun, but didn't The Buzzcocks do it all twenty years earlier?

A solid album – one of the better punk entries on the list – just slightly edging out American Idiot as the strongest "well-known" Green Day album. The album seems less full of itself, less insistent upon itself (as the famous saying goes). It exists, first and foremost, to provide a clean, energetic punk-rock sound – rather than prioritising proving its own cleverness. This is something that American Idiot fell prey to, though that album was still very good. So, Dookie. A sharp, consistent, relatively simple-sounding (particularly in terms of harmonies and instrumentation) setlist, with a surprisingly good ratio of meat to filler. In fact, upon a first listen, I'd argue that there was essentially zero filler – except maybe the closing track All by Myself, which is a goofy little aside that probably should've gotten the chop. Save that kind of lo-fi acoustic fluff for breathtaking swansong projects like Abbey Road (though even in that context, Her Majesty is questionable). My favourite tracks are also the ones with the most Spotify listens: Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, Longview, When I Come Around... Seems like Green Day fans (and to an extent, the musical public) know their stuff. 4/5 Key tracks: Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, When I Come Around

Dookie has great punk rock vibes and is more or less the starting point of Green Day’s music for the average fan. There’s quite a lot of timeless hits on this album that are still played frequently 30 years later. I love the Green Day style, but admittedly the non-hits do eventually run together a bit more than I’d care for.

This album absolutely rocks. 100% listenable. Will just say it doesn't do it quite for me what Blink does, but that's a preference thing. Thoroughly deserves 4/5 imo on listenability alone.

Stilechtes Album im Green Day Sound. Schrill, Kraftvoll und schräg. Die Songs sind gut aufeinander abgestimmt und sinnvoll arrangiert. Mit “Basket Case” und “When I come around” hat das Album auch zwei Earcatcher, weswegen sich ein Wiederhören aufdrängt.

Pretty standard fair when it comes to pop punk but solid playing, catchy writing and generally fun. Feels like it encapsulates the 90's era pretty well. I prefer American Idiot since I grew up with it and have nostalgia for it but this is a good record.

Really fun listen, enjoyed it a lot.

Is a classic and was my first exposure to Green Day back in the day. But, it lacks consistency. A handful of bangers but a lot of meh songs

Lemppari: Pulling Teeth Vähiten lemppari: Having a blast

This album is so boring as a whole. I remember so many of these songs from when I was younger. But Jesus, as an album you could put these songs in any order. It’s like 3.5

186/1001 Se cumplen 20 años del glorioso #AmericanIdiot, pero todo empezó con este. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

A keeper

This is a fantastic record and certainly where the band started finding their iconic sound. I don’t love it as much as their later work but there are some great tunes on here.

I think we have this CD but I never listened to it. I would listen again now.

Good stuff

A really good album.

Not all in. But I like it.

There are some great songs, some good songs, and some real let downs. I think the strength of the good songs, as well as the rhythm section, keep the album moving forward.

Classic pop punk album that I remember listening to on repeat on cassette.

I listen to this every so often, and it still hits.

Brash yet fun pop punk Driving and melodic noise Self consciously whined

Really good album, didn’t realise how many bangers were on it. Kinda tempered off towards the end of the album so not 5 stars

Confession time. Many of these songs were forever ingrained in my youth, the soundtrack to a million mix tapes, CDs, Winamp playlists, hangouts, and parties, but I'd never heard this classic album in full before. By the time I became an album collector in my later teens, I was also an insufferable music elitist douche that considered these pop-punk pioneers and their light-hearted attitude beneath me. Something for my younger sister to enjoy. Listening to this was both deeply nostalgic and strangely fresh. Full of Big riffs, solid basslines, clean production and no skips, it's an undeniably great album that holds up well, no matter what my stupid 17 year old self thought.

While I'm not huge on Punk, Dookie is a great album with many of Green Day's great hits, although I found the start of it to be somewhat weak compared to the rest.

What an extremely good sounding album and well mixed, whom ever plays the bass goes hard. Definitely punk at its best but it's still punk. It's not like going on a wine tasting tour, it's like just go to the pub have 12 beers and have some fun.

15 tracks in 40 minutes, bro needs to chill out They call it dookie because this album is the shit. HYEEEAYEEAAAGH

Their first masterpiece. And I kinda remember there was a bit of a split in the music community at the time. Were Green Day the next big thing in rock, or way too commercialized pop/rock fraudsters. For me, it was clear they were special. Their mix of rock, pop, punk, and even grunge and keep the songs catchy and also have some songwriting depth? The proof is this album still holds up after all these years.

Прикольная панкуха, очень задорная и приятная.

Not as good as Kerplunk and with more filler, but still decent. Perfectly timed for 15-year old me. The best songs are brilliant, Longview, FOD and Welcome to Paradise in particular (although that is already on Kerplunk). Listening back it's pretty clear they were already starting to run out of tunes at the point they signed for a major, which is a real shame, but there's at least 5 songs here that should have been b-sides only, Sassafras Roots the most obvious. Can't bring myself to rate it lower than a 4 though, partly for nostalgia but also on merit due to the serious bangers spread across the record. Anthems for bored teenagers in suburbia, and the last good Green Day record. I mean yeah it basically is The Ramones. Putting Kerplunk on immediately afterwards for a proper good time throughout.

One of my all time favourite albums! Great from start to finish.

Okay so I thought - meh, Green Day, never was into that. And then you listen and you realize how solid this album is. Upbeat, uptempo, songs about everyday man and everyday problems. I wouldn’t say I like Punk either but I like some Punk, and I don’t like Alternative either, but clearly some Alternative is pretty good. This is pretty good stuff.

Siis tämä on roadtrip musiikkia!!

Love their edge, and somehow their songs don't sound repetitive.

Great Guitar Riffs Lyrically not as good as some of their later work

Classic punk album. This is a great listen.

Voice of a generation. Hard rocking but relatable. From "Basket Case" to "All by Myself" - honest, sometimes funny, always straightforward.

Fun punk rock that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Stone cold classic

90s pop punk doesn't get much better than "She"

I almost resent Green Day being good, but goddamnnit, this is great.

Very fun and energetic album from Green Day. Had a great time listening to the Dookie album and it definitely helped uplift my day.

welcome to paradise

Awesome album

Some cracking tunes - stood the test of time

Great album. Different and loved the vocals.

Yeah, I can relate a lot the the lyrics, still.

I actually enjoyed it on the way back from Miami. Solid songs, some definitely better than others.

I loved this album and thought this is going to be an easy 5. But listening through again for the first time in years it didn’t hit quite as hard for me as it once did. The great songs were still great but a little too much filler for a 5

This is such an iconic album that you just have to love it.

It’s a good album can’t argue that, I never was the biggest fan and consider them a bit overrated. Coming back after almost 2 decades to listen from start to finish you really appreciate that this album had 3 solid hits which is rare. I probably let my mainstream bias cloud the relisten for years

Nuevamente toca ponerse con un disco completo de una banda de mi niñez/adolescencia y de la que nunca escuché más que canciones en la radio o en canales como MTv. Buen disco para despabilarse, lleno de temas pegadizos y hitazos de los que no recordaba su nombre. Me encantaron sus momentos de estar arriba (como con la seguidilla de "Chump"-"Longview"-"Welcome to paradise") para luego volver a ritmos más tranquilos. Todo muy good.

Another one that I haven't heard as an album, only random songs here and there. It starts off so very 90s. Outside the songs I already knew and liked, the rest all sounded very similar - the start of GD's signature sound but not quite their peak. 4* Highlights (songs I already liked): longview, she, fod, basket case, welcome to paradise

Some great songs but also lots of filler, so not a perfect score.

Pop punk banger, really established Green Day as big dogs. Loved it

This was my favorite album 10 years ago, let's see how it has held up over time.

First off: stunning album art! Doesn't this image encapsulate the 1990s? Like the ending of 'The Day of the Locust' by Nathanael West but with Nintendos, AOL, and Fruitopia. Even dogs are getting into the crosshairs. Self-destruction is not the word I would use to describe this album. I don't think Billie Joe Armstrong inflicts serious pain on himself, but you certainly believe him when he says he thought about it. Take "She" and "Coming Clean," two songs that are Queer-coded and discuss Billie Joe's bisexuality. You'd think that there would be more coverage of this during this initial album release, especially with Pansy Division opening for Green Day on the Dookie tour. To me, that upholds a real kind of supervision and commitment to punk ethos that you would never see from, say, their contemporaries in SoCal punk Blink-182. And unlike Blink-182 (a band that's crass but not all that vulnerable or, frankly, interesting), Green Day does perfect a model of retaining legitimate SoCal punk roots within a framework of commercial success. People accused them of selling out for this record after parting with Lookout! Records and signing with Reprise. In a few reviews on this website, I see people make the point that this is NOT punk, but in fact pop-punk or just straight pop. Personally, I can't think of anything LESS punk than aligning yourself with traditionalist, conservative views of music and genre. Not that I'm defending obvious industry plants or talentless hacks assembled in a boardroom by high-priced executives, but come on. Lobby your complaints at literally anything else. Besides, I feel like Green Day have some serious SoCal punk bonefides. Why else would they opt to go with Rob Cavallo from The Muffs in the producer chair? Maybe they didn't want to be confined to the technical and production constraints of DIY, but that doesn't mean they abandoned the ethos altogether. Anyway, enough about this, let's get to the music. There are so many good, satisfying dips. The rhythm section of Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool charge so effortlessly on "Having a Blast" and particularly "Longview." One thing that I particularly enjoy about SoCal punk (even though, it's not my favourite scene) is the few times in which it dialogues with other canonically Californian subgenres. When you hear that bassline in "Longview," it rings exactly like surf-punk. I appreciate that Green Day is not afraid to embrace other influences in their music. On "Pulling Teeth," you can tell these guys were playing a lot of Beatles covers. The 90s pop-punk version of "I Should Have Known Better." I'll wrap up with highlighting some of the excellent images in this record found in Billie Joe's lyrics, which I feel speaks to the very excellent album cover: "Get me off this Velcro seat and get me moving." "Smoking cigarettes, wasting your time.""I'm feeling like a dog in heat/barred indoors from the summer street." A-

Happy Grunge. X-over between Dinosaur Jr and the Smith.

Somewhat weak start from what I remember (first 3 songs) Picks up after Longview- I see why that single was so succesful

This album is ubiquitous with pop punk. 30 years later it still sounds like something that could have been written today. It threaded the needle of expressing indie teenage angst while appealing to the masses and still holds up nowadays. The hits from this album are still punk anthems decades later. Green Day was everywhere shortly after this album dropped and stayed close to the top for a long while. I saw Green Day somewhat recently and they still have it. I rarely play them in my regular rotation but whenever they come up in the wild I'm always surprised how much I know and enjoy their music. Dookie will always hold a special place. 3.91 stars

Selling out or perfecting their craft which happened to coincide with mainstream audiences? Whatever your thoughts were at the time or today, the tunes here are rapid and relentless.

This album has a lot of character I think probably the most of any Green Day album. Probably the best Green Day album. Only because the direction they chose to go in it just wasn't as artistically interesting as this was. The middle stretch is fantastic. Beginning is pretty samey and the ending is interesting.

This one is a classic, and the definition of how Punk (or any) music should be: fun, with great musicianship and songs and good quality songs with great melodies. It's not too much to ask for, but for a long time it was for the genre. This deserves all the praise it got. 4/5

La portada va igual o incluso más dura que el disco.

Will die on the hill that “Pop-Punk” is the worst genre of music to exist. Wretched, cringe-worthy, yank trash. Saying all that, I have a soft spot for Green Day and have enjoyed their music from afar, without every being really invested in the band. This is the first Green Day album I’ve ever listened to and unsurprisingly, I enjoyed it. It’s fine, nowt special, just fine. 7/10

So many classic tracks on this one, and the vibes have really held up well. I remember oogling the album cover art as a young kid, and giggling at the silliness of the final track. Aging wonderfully.

Excellent, super catchy pop punk

I like Green Day but their rhythms make me feel tense if I listen too long

I came to the Greenday party a little late and although I cherry-pick the Greenday albums I listen to, this album is definitely a cherry. 15 songs in 38 minutes, It's absolutely non-stop! The energy is just awesome.

Feels like there's a ton of bangers mixed in with bland and boring songs. If this album was 8-10 songs long it would feel like a best of compilation. Still one of the most well produced Green Day albums. From when they were in their peek. Favorites : When I come around, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case

Noteworthy songs - 808080808 Magical Dream - Kinda catchy synth, but the rest is bland. Ancodia - Good background noise. Cobra Bora - Actually kind of cool, reminds me of Bomberman Hero. Pacific 202 - N64 vibes, but melody isn't great. Donkey Doctor - Nothing too special, weird ending. 808080808 - Really cool beginning. A little slow in the middle but stays interesting enough. Sunrise - Nothing remarkable. The Fat Shadow - Eerie. Very short.

Хороший альбом. Не такой хороший, как я себе помню из детства (и не так уж вообще-то панковый, а именно что ПОП-панковый; тогда казалось, что это вообще-то вершина агрессивной музыки без вот этих шреддингов и экстремальных вокальных штучек). Группа Грин Дей, хотя уже сильно группа Ария, всегда будет восприниматься мной с теплотой, потому что для меня они стали одним из поворотных коллективов в переходе от "музыка, которая играет по радио" к "музыка, которая нравится лично мне". Лучшая песня - Basket Case.
