This is the album that saw Green Day go massive and sell out causing many of their traditional fans to go somewhat against them as they pined for the lower budget, smaller records. Records like... more

    American Idiot - Green Day I have been reviewing some of my favourite albums, and have been working my way up to this one! This is in my humble opinion is the greatest album in the history of music. Now I know very few people will agree with me on this and that's fine, we are all entitled to our own opinions and lets be honest, that‘s what makes life interesting. When I bought this album 5 years back in 2004 I never really expected it to be that good. I have always like Green Day but always felt they weren’t quite punching their weight. On this album they put everything together and made rock ... more

    Following 2000’s release of ‘Warning’, fans were left with the distinct feeling that something was seriously wrong in the Green Day camp - the lyrics were heart-felt (almost vomit inducing in some cases), the sound was far more mellowed and the promotion for the record was virtually non existent. What these same fans hadn’t previously comprehended was that the members of the band were now in their late 20’s and couldn’t portray themselves as the same snot nosed punks that 1994 had seen them to be - they had grown up, and with that, as had their music. Billie Joe Armstrong was still the master ... more

    I first heard this on MTV’s The Leak, a section of their web page where they preview an album in its entirety the week prior to its official release. Not being one to really take notice of MTV, it took pure luck to come across it, but being the huge Green Day fan that I am, I had to spoil it for myself and have a listen. So, as the tracks went by, my heart raced faster with every minute, listening to the finest music that Green Day have ever made. With the exception of ‘Basket Case’ and ‘Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)’, this could easily be Green Day’s very own greatest hits. Being from the ... more

    Ok, I know this album has been around for some time, but I felt compelled to write this after rediscovering it in my CD collection and listening to it constantly on my way to and from work for about three weeks now! BACKGROUND ----------------------------------------​--- Green Day formed as part of the California punk scene and are Billie Joe Armstrong (Vocals, Guitar), Mike Dirnt (nee. Mike Pritchard, Bass) and Tre Cool (nee. Frank Edwin Wright III, Drums). They released their first album 39/Smooth in 1989, followed by Kerplunk in 1992. It was only with the release of Dookie though that Green ... more

    Advantages Advantages Excellent vocals, guitar work and overall quality.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some of the softer songs arent quite as good

    Greenday, the very name of the band seems to signify punk rock and grunge music before anyone has even listened to them, its the band gets pop punk addicts buzzing to the sound of theyre own crackling Neurons and will often lift the eylids of even the most hardened death metaller. Greenday are a punk/rock/pop punk outfit that have ben around since 1989/1990 and came on the scene just a few years after another great punk band, The Offspring. However theyre music styles and vocal sounds are both very different and both unique. Greenday consists of a basic band make up of a lead singer with a ... more
