I LOVE THIS ALBUM. I can honestly say that I listen to a few songs from this album every week. Similar to “The Low End Theory” this album changed hip hop as it expanded peoples’ perceptions of what hip hop could be.

I think of this album as the one that brought Green Day to everyone. This is probably the first collection of Green Day that I found myself paying closer attention to the lyrics. Majority of the songs deal with the political division that was starting with the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. I think they were predicting where we are now and we’re almost giving us warnings. Favorite individual songs are: American Idiot Holiday Whatsername This album reminds me of Green Day finally listening to Bad Religion. So, that’s it.

Big fan. Been A LONG TIME since I listened to this entire album and I specifically recall a friend in high school who loved Depeche Mode which somehow led me to listening to the Pixies. I think this is an album that I’ll return to soon and play in the background while getting a few things done.

Eh

So, I was actually somewhat looking forward to listening to this and well, yeah, that didn’t happen. I do like Freedom but that’s about it.
