4/5

Great Album from the beginning of their career, some legendary tunes

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

I had forgotten what fun Green Day are to listen to. This album is longer than I expected from them, they are the master of brief punk songs that don't overstay their welcome, but I guess this album reveals a maturing of their style and I welcome that! Lots of hits to be enjoyed and the rest of the tracks work too.
