I always used to hate Green Day, like most mainstreamy rock bands, but I have warmed up to some of their stuff, mostly pre-AI. I prefer when they pretend to be punk than emo, which is why this does so little for me. At the day they’re just trend changers, and this isn’t a trend I vibe with. D
Heavy 1001 is Heavy reviews
The last good Green Day album and it's a rock opera that is probably still very lyrically relevant 20 years later. I think it lags a bit in the back half, but the front half is unbelievable.
Album rules. Have always been massive fan of the rock opera setup they did here and still return to this once in a while. The two multi-part songs (Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming) are both amazing.
Thought I would hate this because I remember hating it in 2004. Instead, it's a mix of good songs and bad ballads. Overall it's a meh. Good attempt though. 3/5
