American Idiot

Never listened to before, only heard select songs "Old" comparatively Very same-samey from song to song Start of Extraordinary Girl is nice because its not punk rock and then it becomes punk rock again. tsk tsk Not an enjoyable album, cannot comment on its production quality Thought the last song was incredibly good until I realized that spotify had turned on radio mode and was playing a Gorillaz song LMAO

Despite the nostalgia behind this one, I can’t get myself behind everyone’s favorite mainstream emo LP of the aughts. The highlights (‘Idiot,’ ‘Boulevard,’ ‘September’) show the band at their most creative and confrontational, but they’re ultimately dragged down by being coupled to longer, less innovative sections in the weird decision to shove two songs together into one for a cinematic purpose. The rest is just filler - I’m not expecting punk songs to use more than three chords, but the production is so sterile and lifeless that the lack of dynamic melodies/tempos/rhythms really sinks this one to two-star territory.

Green Day has always been an anomaly. Highly polished, impeccably produced and finished, and aimed at the heart of the American wallet. But when you listen to them, all of their themes are raw, gritty, and anti-capitalist. If you like Green Day, you'll love this pop-punk opera. If you don't then you're better off listening to something else.

From albums named after shit to political agitator, hey? Naaaaah.

mid

Fine for what it is, again not my kind of thing

Eigenlijk iets leuker dan ik dacht, maar toch ook weer niet heel interessant. Beter dan Dire Straits, dat dan weer wel.

To me they still sound like a high school teen band.

I always love the idea of a concept/rock opera album. But they never quite live up to the potential. Anyway, this was just background noise for me. Maybe I'd enjoy it more if I listened to the lyrics?

jeune mais pas dingouf

Meh. They sold out after Dookie.

Meh

Green Day always made me feel old and out of touch, even when I was 13. I just get absolutely nothing from it, and never have. As far as this album: the lyrics sound interesting on first listen (if you can make out what he's saying...he's drowned out by instruments a lot of the time), but then you actually look into them and they don't seem to stand up to any sort of analysis...just come off as surface-level and sort of vacuous. The whole album just seems like it was written to be someone's first exposure to the kinds of ideas in the album (e.g. Certain problems with American suburban life, America's foreign policy, people giving up their dreams/values to be a "paper-pusher" in a cubicle somewhere, etc.). If your in your early teens and it's one of the first times that you're thinking about these things, then maybe you think "Oh shit, he's right! These are problems!" but for me: I just can't find anything new/interesting here. That's not to say that albums/songs/art needs to have new ideas; sometimes these things are good for taking an old, well-known idea and illustrating it in a new or interesting way (or just a way that is pleasant to listen to). But I don't think this album does that either. Seems like a bunch of things that have been done better in the decades prior to this album's release. Maybe this album puts it in terms that better speaks to certain subsets of America's youth, but I was never in those subsets, and it certainly does nothing for the me of today. Incidentally, I do hate Billy Joe Armstrong's voice, so that obviously doesn't help me enjoy this album. Positives: I don't mind "Give me Novocaine", and I think the drums are good in many songs. I also have respect for concept albums that try to do big things - I just think this one falls short.

Þetta er ekki beinlínis leiðinlegt, en þetta er tilbreytingarlítið og verður leiðigjarnt til lengdar. Boulevard of broken dreams gæti ég hlustað á nokkrum sinnum, hitt er voða bleh.

Not my thing

⭐⭐. Não consegui nem terminar. Já conhecia a maioria das músicas. Meh.

Wake me up, when this album ends

Just… kind of bland. Doesn’t feel energetic and doesn’t feel emotional

Not bad per se, just not what I’m into. Lots of songs that I remember from the radio but feels like it lacks the emotion of their earlier albums.

Meh

Hon min fälla drottning...

meh

Tjoooj, dobri su mi i definitvno vidim zasto su se proslavili, imali jak utjecaj na kulturu/glazbu tada, ali imam jaku averziju prema GD-ju zbog nekih zena pa ce bit dvojka :/

"The emotional travails of two clueless punks—one passive, one aggressive, both projections of the auteur. There's no economics, no race, hardly any compassion."

Repetitive

If I was a disenfranchised young white kid living in the suburbs I might be able to relate and get into this more but all I hear is a ton of guitar and a whiney punk pop voice for an hour

Ein großes Lob ans saubere Handwerk; super produzierte Songs; vielleicht hat man sich an den technischen Möglichkeiten so sehr ergötzt, dass man vergaß, ein paar seiner Darlings zu killen. Was zur Völlerei am Punkrock Stick noch etwas komisch hinzukommt, ist der Jeckyll/Hyde Gestus des radiotauglichen Stadion-Materials, das auf sehr schmalzige Art sellout säuselt. Chris Martin gibt mehr als 1.6

This is not my favorite. Top tracks Holiday Wake me up when September ends

This album is terrible.

This album was… ok. It wasn’t my favorite but I didn’t hate it either. The only tracks I really enjoyed were the singles they’ve dropped when this album came out. It was plain and lacking a spark that I look for in music. Top tracks: American idiot, Give me Novacaine, Wake Me Up When September Ends

Though this album marked a bad turning point for this band, the album as a whole was better than I remembered. Could be nostalgia talking, but I thought it ages well.

The worst green day The fall of green day

I find this music quite uninspiring.

Good old Green Day. Wasn't a fan back then, not a huge fan now.

Ergh. Nah, not having this. Only interested in Nimrod and Dookie.

A pop-punk album that hasn't aged well and sounds trite/over-produced. 'Jesus of Suburbia' is the least hackneyed, due to the meter changes. 4/10, used to like this.

It was ok. Just ok.

Not my favorite Green Day album.

Decent. A few alright singles. 5/10

Meh

Don't want to listen to this generic hot trash.

Wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be but still not one I’m going to come back to

It's nice to see kids music making the cut, but this doesn't really do much for me as an adult.

Not a big fan. Never been huge into Green Day and pop punk in genre, all feels very samey. Highlights: Holiday, Too Much Too Soon

Tough. So much harder to listen to than anticipated. Just too much all the time. I also saw that E-boy was listening to Mac while I was listening to this and I really needed that antidote

Gähn day. Generisches Punk Rock -Gedudel. Die Platte hat 2-3 Momente, sonst aber gar nix.

meh

i didn't wanna listen to this lol im just gonna give it a two

Nobody ever asked for 7, 8 and NINE minute green day songs. That being said some good individual tracks but not enough to save the whole piece.

Nope.... this type of grunge is just bad pop dressed up and sold to the disenfranchised.

Can't stand it so boring

Don't like it Too noisy

I didn't enjoy any of this. I think it's trying to be ironically idiotically American but actually it comes over as sincerely idiotic. Maybe in a different way to the most obvious stereotypical American idiocy but this is its own flavour

Hit album from Green Day

I don’t rlly like greenday anymore

Unlistenable garbage (in my opinion)

I don’t waste my time with Green Day.

1st album was cool, this was just overplayed on the radio.

я ненавижу это гавно

From 924 Gilman to this...man what a shame

I’ve never been a fan of Green Day. I think all their songs kinda sound the same. And this album was so overplayed when it came out that I literally couldn’t stand it. I can’t even get through the song “wake me up when September ends”. Honestly I think the only reason this is on the list is because of the whole political scene at the time. Which is probably why I also dislike it so much.

I hated their sound when Dookie came out, and I hate it now. That clean, 90s production style, the guitar sound, the way the drums are miked ... everything about this causes waves of hostility to be unleashed within me. They are good at what they do, which explains their successful careers. But I hate what they do.

Acknowledged, Green Day flipped the script on themselves and did things they'd never even contemplated while their global fame/money machine was being built. And, being a poser had real weight when I was 15, at least in a world that included Pete Verdone. Green Day challenged my understanding of the trajectory of punk, and upset my understanding of the social order in force at the time. So I rejected them. I still don't care for their music.

I found it annoying at best.

I will forever be pissed at Green Day for not doing the "don't wanna be in the MAGA agenda" thing at the Super Bowl. What a bunch of cop-outs. My gripes with this band aside, this album is atrocious. It's so painfully basic in a way that punk music shouldn't be. It's kind of hard to call it punk music at all. It's alt-rock that sometimes insults George Bush or suburban neighborhoods, I guess. The music is all chord progressions I've genuinely heard in nursery rhymes with some of the most bland and unmotivating lyrics I've heard in an album that's trying to be whatever unmotivating isn't. I don't even care that half the album is overplayed, I haven't heard half of these songs in a year or two and I like them LESS than I did then. Special bonus points to Holiday / Boulevard of Broken Dreams for managing to ruin an almost good song by tacking a boring radio hit to the second half. That's how the entire album is, although "almost good" is a stretch for anything that isn't Holiday by itself and the latter two parts of Homecoming. I swear the only reason this album got anywhere near as popular as it did is because they tried to make the most un-punk punk album imaginable, and they sure as hell succeeded. Genuinely one of the worst albums I've had on the list so far.

Sell-out punks

Eurovision komplett med tonartshöjning. Är det Jon-Henrik som gästar i We are the waiting? Könsrock utan kön. Medelålders män som tror de fortfarande riskerar att bli utsparkade från High school. Sk. Punklåtar över 3 minuter. Fruktansvärda trummarfills och gitarrsolon. Jag behöver tvätta öronen med svintask efteråt.

American idiot is so relevant today Everything else has been boring Sample the beginning music of whatsername

Uggghhhh

Rubbish

Trash

Blah. Boring mainstream punk-ish sound.

I HATE GREEN DAY

Green day vind ik heel erg cringe. Het mag van mij in het rijtje: suzan en freek, kane, kensington en macklemore. De Tenenkrommers

Punk pop for the youth. Heard it 50 years ago.

I hate this band. Nothing they have done or will ever do will warrant being included in this list.

My biggest enemies

Afraid I don't know these guys...the only Green Day I know of made a couple great albums in the early 90's. Wonder what happened to em

Soft "punk" rock for middle class socialist brats from suburban families who never really had to work.

Don't like them, didn't listen.

This shit fucking honks why would this even be on the list?

Abhorrent

A few famous songs. Overall not my taste.

I’m really happy that’s over

Woof

Beste Lieder: Holiday/ Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Whatsername Lieder auf Playlist: 0

First 1/3 of album: ok this still slaps. Rest of album: mayyyybe not 😞 But we still needed to collectively experience this as a generation so I'm glad I went through the American Idiot Listening of 2004.I DID NOT ENJOY THIS.

Bailed after about 3 songs as it was clearly going to be the same all the way through. Plodding pop rock. Idiots indeed.

This is punk rock glossed up to the point that it has about as much sonic character as a Toto record. The songs themselves are strings of dull metal-leaning power chords topped off with affected singing that sounds more like Broadway than the Bay Area. And really, so many words with so little of substance actually being said.

God I hate Green Day. Watered-down, overproduced, pop-punk trash.

Terrible

Cheese balls. Dookie was their peak

I really liked this one when it came out. Now, during this relisten, I was so bored.

green gay

Not listening

It’s not for me and I also think it’s objectively bad.

Just awful. What a bunch of poseurs.

No.

I can't stand this album. 1 Star. I used to love Green Day back when they released Dookie. But I feel like this band has continued to disappoint me with the direction they've taken their sound ever since.

Ass

I've heard a lifetime of Green Day, and 100% of it was forced upon me.

Don’t like green day

Stupid

Pop punk shit

Lyder som introen til en nickelodeon serie

Shopping mall punk. Billy Joe has a knack for melody, but it is still a sacrilege.

track 2 being 9+ minutes is a greater crime than any carried out by the bush administration tbh

I hate Green Day with the exception of their first album. They are the same as Sum41, Avril Lavigne for me.

Hahaha. This is as far from a masterpiece as you can get. Every track sounds like it was written by a marketing team in Converse for people who think rebellion is a font choice. A soundtrack for kids grounded for the weekend. A middle finger pointed towards yourself.

Green Day. Do not need to say much more, avoid at all costs.

This will hopefully be the last time I have to listen to this album. Being a millennial who grew up in the peak of emo and pop punk I have to say, I've never gotten the appeal. The term "Pop Punk" itself feels like an oxymoron. The album is just painfully boring, too long, and way overplayed. Just not a fan of this album or Green Day or Pop Punk in general.

I don’t like them.

Only giving this heap one star because I have to rate it.

Fuck you Bush. It's time to get out of Iraq, Bush. What were you doing there in the first place, Bush? You didn't even get properly elected, Bush. Are you happy now, Bush? Fuck you, Bush.

There are only a handful of Green Day songs that were released after Kerplunk, this album does not have any of them.

It makes total sense that this became a successful Broadway show.

+: Holiday, St. Jimmy +-: American Idiot, Are We the Waiting, Give Me Novacaine, Extraordinary Girl, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Homecoming, Whatsername -: Jesus of Suburbia, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, She's a Rebel, Letterbomb 4,0/10

I dont get how Green Day have held on to such a big place in American culture - Dookie was amazing, Brain Stew was pretty good, but that Good Riddance song gave them a ruinous taste of sincere balladeering and since then it's been a long steep decline. This album was their big return to the spotlight - an Anti-Bush pop punk opera that is just as embarrasing as that sounds. They still have a nice bright overdriven guitar sound and some decent riffs as well as a gift for a catchy vocal melody, but they're totally wasted on this. Turgid slow tempos turn into forced sped up breakdowns, bombastic production, bloated song writing (8 minutes! 8!), corny arena rock climaxes. The lyrics are pure dumb guys making a statement stuff. Honestly, their songs about teenage disaffection, smoking and jacking off offer a more profound insight into suburban American culture and alienation than this overblown grandiose turd. When Sept Ends is truly abysmal - I know I 've heard this before, but it is so much worse than I could possibly have imagined, how was THIS their return to the bigtime? Good lord this whole thing just sucks so bad.

Trash

BJA is a douchebag USA hater. I love the band, but cannot give a great review to them.

I have a bias against this album and band. So my reviews won't be very objective. To me. This is just fraudulent punk rock. It lacks sincerity. But again I'm biased.

nope

Overrated

Capitalism, according to various thinkers concerned with the cultural mode of postmodernism, is fantastic at absorbing its critique. So good that it often goes one better – commodifying the terms of its deconstruction, always-already negating its critics … to the extent that if they’re especially charismatic and/or unlucky, they’re turned into t-shirt designs. In the early 00s, Greenday was smarting. “Warning” had represented a doomy portent only to the band themselves: they were in danger of becoming obsolete. Greenday huddled, began tracking a new record … and then the tapes were stolen. It’s a sliding doors moment, as had they released “Cigarettes…” they might have disappeared forever. Instead they scrapped the project and began working on what would become “American Idiot”. And the rest is history; or, as the angel of history might put it (and in more ways than one), “a bad record.” As the angel sees history piling up before her, destructive winds driving her forever backward, this album can boast a mounting body count of better artists and their ideas. Here there’s melodies lifted from Bryan Adams, Joann Jet; riffs and ornamentation seemingly lifted completely (surely Dillinger Four got an out of court settlement?); and then – not content with having “musically quoted” from The Kinks on the abortively boring “Warning” – there’s the one where our Anglophile magpies return to Blighty to the answer the question of “what would happen if ‘How soon is now’ was also ‘Wonderwall’?” I wouldn’t mind it – in fact I might even enjoy it – if it weren’t for the fact that it feels so nakedly cynical. Everything about this album feels like the result of focus group testing: the “emo” uniform, the accusatory anti-government stuff (“this trended great with the NOFX kids, Bill, just consider it”), the “concept” of a “Jesus of Suburbia” – a figure who might be the target persona of this elaborate marketing action brought to musical life. And then there’s the “punk rock opera” element: songs that blend into one another, a creative choice that feels grafted onto the whole thing late in the piece after someone noticed that everything’s in pretty much the same key. It’s enough to have one wondering whether the “American Idiot” being narrated isn’t actually you, the listener, for ever letting yourself think that this meant anything more to Greenday than revivified album sales numbers. So, while I’ve been trying to keep my cool through this review, I also need to be fair to myself: this felt fucking lame in 2004 and it feels fucking lame now. This is not an album of rebellion, these are not songs of resistance or hope. This is a pastiche of punk, the sound of the end of history. There is no alternative. Suburbia’s soundtrack is the only game in town. For 15-year old Matthew’s sake, here are three albums released in or before 2004 that I loved back then, succeed where American Idiot fails, and actually should be on this list: “Sticks and Stones” by New Found Glory (pop-punk that looks for you, finds you, and stays with you; actual magic); “Casually dressed and deep in conversation” by Funeral for a Friend (the ultimate melding of post-hardcore and emo, unapologetically hi-fi and edifyingly anthemic); “Tell all your friends” by Taking Back Sunday (atmospheric, antagonistic, bratty, brash, brilliant – gigged into shape, never knowingly focus-grouped).

That's just not possible. What kind of albums are they suggesting to me? 'Pippi Pop Punk' by Vorstadt Kids. I hate it. There would probably be more of a punk attitude if they had peed the songs on garbage cans. No, I really can't do anything with that. Apart from that, I can't do anything with any "Green Day" release that I know of. That's something for the garbage can of music history.

Dookie is one of the most influential albums of my life. This is not Dookie. Ambitious, maybe, but that didn't make for good listening for me. Each song I was hoping to be the last and there'd be another. And another.

Newer Green Day sucks nuts

Not really my choice.

Had I been 12 when this came out I might have considered this "deep" and "edgy" and then I might have something positive to say in this review. However even in 2004 I was a lot older then 12 and also I don't think I ever heard it before now since I don't recognize any of it. From my review for Dookie "Loud but only slightly obnoxious". This album however is more than slightly obnoxious as reflected in the 1 star rating.

I had no idea that Green Day had sold so many of this album, nor that they'd sold nearly twice as many of Dookie. They are both way up there in the best selling albums of all time. In some ways it's not surprising with this one: it's such middle of the road inoffensive pop rock. Personally, I struggled to get through it. There was a bit of Homecoming that I enjoyed, but that was about it. I struggle to understand how I can find this so uninspiring, but Dookie can be one of my favourite albums of all time. It's either (1) I heard Dookie at a formative time and listened to it so much that it became a part of me, and every subsequent listen reminds me of how i felt and who i was when i first discovered it but actually if I heard it for the first time now I wouldn't think it had value; or (2) Dookie and American Idiot are on two sides of a change in the band that involved them adapting their sound to fill stadiums with modern audiences, rather like what happened to Kings of Leon after Aha Shake Heartbreak, and I don't like music produced after a band makes that change. If it is (1) then I feel the difference would be so intrinsically a part of my personality that objectively assessing it would be like trying to look at the back of my own head. However, I'm pretty sure it's (2), that Dookie is actually great and this is actually shit. I mean: at times it actually sounds like someone is taking the piss out of bad quality W-era protest songs. It belongs in the same bin as NOFX's War on Errorism, when just saying President=Moron was something insightful, amusing, rebellious. But then again, I think Dookie is firmly "pop punk", and is there any pop punk album I would listen to for the first time now and enjoy? Perhaps not. But I listened to Warning around the same time as Dookie and I'm pretty sure I would consider that shit even though I liked it at the time. Maybe I should just stop trying to look for any objectivity in valuing these albums and embrace that two albums that probably have similar musical value can be at opposite ends of the scale for me. Dookie IS a 5 star album, this definitely a 1.

hate

Shite, pointless

Low quality "punk" for middle schoolers.

As expected with punk rock. Noisy screaming music. Not my thing.

DNF. Doesn't belong on this list. I like pop punk as much as the next guy but this is easy boring music.

Interesting as a snap shot of early 2000s history. Give me Dookie any day though. The guys voice annoys me and I found the sound of the album as a whole gave me a headache. The simple power cords over and over became so boring.

i dont like pop punk, sorry

I guess it's supposed to be something like their most mature album to date when it was released? All I can hear is that irritating crisp/bright guitar sound so typical of pop punk of that era and these dull melodies. Oh and now they're grown up so they even use accoustic guitars and have freakin' ballads. And of course pseudo-political lyrics. I hated it when it came out, I still hate it.

Fuck this album

Not really my thing , but the title track and ‘when september ends’ are decent pop punk songs . rest of it is formulaic and dated.

Pretty much the only thing I like by Green Day is the song Basketcase and on first full listen, this did nothing to change that.

an ugly, obsolete cultural artifact...weirdly enough made me appreciate the importance of more poignant, specific lyrics (especially to evoke that melancholic vibe i crave) because this has virtually nothing genuine to say...endless filler over a repetitive, tinny mush of compressed power chords 2/10

Horrible. Sanitized pop punk with a forced message trying to be edgy.

Corny, overproduced shite for angry teens. This list so white.

Fuck Green Day

Greenday was greated with cheers when they published Dookie,,, 10 years later.... I skipped through most of the songs on this album, as song A sounds like song B sounds like song C... How has this band managed to captivate so many people for so long? This is the first album that I am giving 1 star...

I really don’t like Green Day

Would rather listen to the real punk/new wave rather than this 20 year's too late sanitized rubbish. Not for me

One of the worst things to come out of 9-11.

Wildly dated clown show

There's nothing worse than bands spouting political opinions held by the retarded class

didn't listen 1/5

crrrriiiiinnnnnggggggeeeeeeee bin genervt dass ich mir das anhören "musste"

Mostly noise and instrument banging, but good if you like that

Ok album singer is a dogshit person -5/5 hope he gets shot :) imagine this 1 star is -5

Un disco terriblemente malo. Pop disfrazado de punk.

Why does this album have two 10-minute songs?

Songs should only be 5+ minutes long if they are good and interesting. I fucking hate Green Day

This is soooo bad. Green Day played a pretty pivotal role in my very early years listening to music. Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac, even Nimrod were all great. Dookie was absolutely vital. I had never listened to this before and I can't believe how far they fell with this record. It's absolutely pandering and derivative and feels so phoned in. As it went on I was realizing more and more that I find it down right offensive. And it just goes and goes and goes, it's way too long. This has to be a candidate for leaving the list when newer stuff is added. 1 star all the way.

Do not appreciate

Green Day sucks!

Hateful divisive speech. Did not like at all.

Never was a fan.

Meh, I appreciate it for being a pivotal album in the mainstreaming of the last vestiges of American punk, but that's also what I hate about it.

bruh

I hate green day - I won't listen.

Have heard 1000 tiems ill pass

oof.

Not my style

This feckless, pseudo-protest bullshit can fuck all the way off.

how dare you send me from Dookie to this shit 1/5

I’d rather undergo nine years of medieval torture than ever listen to this shit again

Dude, the Johnny Test theme song!!! I'm kidding, obviously. It's funny how similar they are, though. Was not excited for this one. Don't have the nostalgia for it that a lot of people have. I also don't really like his voice. I don't really know what to feel about this. It could have been worse. I'm sure that there's some important themes in this album, but I can't really focus on them. There were parts I dare say were okay, and I didn't absolutely hate my time with it like I suspected I might, but I got pretty annoyed and tired of it by the end... I'm left feeling empty. I expected to come out of this experience angry, but there's nothing. I guess my favourite song was Give Me Novacaine/She's a Rebel. but even that song annoyed me at parts.

awful trash

Not a fan of Green Day, still not. The pre-genitors of whiney boy rock wanna-be punk rock bands.

Didn't like it all. I just hate the singers voice, and the instrumentation was more boring than i thought it would be. The lyrics are bad. Some of the guitars sounded okay. But it was not an enjoyable experience, sad because I thought I would have liked it.

God I hate Green Day. Almost all of their famous songs either sound goofy, cheesy, or rip-off another song. You can argue that "songs sound like other songs" all the time in music, but Green Day does it so much that they constantly get called out for it, and that obnoxious voice only detracts from these iconic songs. Now, I will admit most of these rip-off songs are not on this album, but that doesn't excuse my hatred of this whiney ass band. So, let's just say I'm not going into this album with the most neutral mindset of these pop punk shit. Alright, this isn't any better. His vocals still suck, and knowing almost every song in some way just made me know right when it started I hated it. And why, oh why, is a punk album, what's know for being short and sometimes sweet, have multiple way too long songs. I realize they are usually multiple songs in one, but they are always listed as one, so they shall be punished as one. Just awful. Have no clue why pop punk is such a popular genre.

Yritin kitkeä tätä halveksineen teiniminän ja suhtautua avoimesti, mutta siis ei helvetti. Ei ei ei. Kamalia biisejä kaikki paitsi ehkä pari hittiä. Boulevard of Broken Dreams saa isot sympatiat/nostalgiat, koska oli eka biisi, jota opettelin skidinä kitaratunnilla. Mutta en voi sen perusteella antaa tähtiä.

Couldn’t get into it. It just felt very phony to me. I don’t need Billie Joe to tell me how to feel about George Bush, or anything else that actually matters. What on earth is the point of slick, serious Green Day? Don’t get me wrong, I also dislike the rest of their music. But my sense of it is that it at least has a certain integrity in being the anthem for a kind of kid who actually comes from a totally safe suburban home, but chooses to be a dirtbag because everything else is too much effort. Or maybe it’s just that one song.

tough listen, only 1 or 2 decent songs wouldn't listen to it again

Crap

Maybe it was always commercial pop...I was only 13, how could I have known.

What happened to Green Day? I'm all for bands/artists reinventing themselves or choosing different musical paths to explore, but I feel they've almost become a parody of themselves! There's no real substance throughout and every song sounds the same to me, but that's just my opinion

no thank you

Two green day albums in one week, this site fucking hates me

I refuse to listen to this.

didn’t like it

Is it nostalgia? What am I not getting here? 1.5/5

No

Sorry, just not my cup of tea!

fuck me, this was so much worse than i expected. the singles aren't even the worst bit and they're fucking awful. i have no understanding of how this steaming pile of shite was so popular.
