Not entirely sure it needed all ofthe 13 minute song, and this is from a Godspeed fan. Opening song was good - actually it’s amazing, but the next few didn’t really grab me until the singles. I’m glad I listened to it, but I didn’t love most of it.

Interesting to hear some blues from before Hendrix (and the original I’m Your Hoochie Coochie Man), but I think I just prefer Jimi Hendrix. I realise that if this is the first blues live album, it’s fairly important, so for that reason I’m glad I listened - I might try some other Muddy Waters, but I don’t think I’ll listen to this again.

Not as much of a fan as I used to be (they’re a great band when you’re a teenager) but I still enjoyed most of this album. The bonus disc is largely a waste of time, you could lose half the songs because they’re either earlier versions of the album tracks, worse versions of songs that are already on Pisces Iscariot (the main reason the bonus tracks are a bit thin - could have been a really good three disc package), or worth the listen but just buried under everything else. I don’t think this is really an album people “should” listen to, although with the themes of most of the lyrics, it does still fit “before you die”. But if you’re into rock, grunge or shoegaze (I can definitely appreciate the shoegaze influences more now than when I was listening to it 20 years ago), it’s a fun listen. He’s not the best singer, but who is?

Just not really enough variety to want to listen to it again. Give me The White Stripes or QOTSA any day. I realise that this band influenced a lot of bands and albums that I like, but that’s because they did it better, with more variation on even one song than this has over the whole album. When there’s not much progression in the songs, it just makes it boring to listen to.

Just a really good album that rocks hard

Other than Wild Horses, none of the songs really grabbed me. Might revisit.

Much more than just the American indie influences, think it still holds up

Expected to give this a 2 or lower, but it’s a 3. Had only heard the singles back in the day - didn’t even realise Holiday was from American Idiot. Managed to miss Greenday completely in my punk phase, I guess because the narrative was they’d already gone commercial? It’s an ok album, never really boring.
