Dookie - Green Day

Advantages: It having amazing songs on it
Disadvantages: a poor start

...you will." Most songs on Dookie are guaranteed to whip the most apathetic mosh-pit into a frenzy, or make you drive a little faster if you happen to be in a car. After a while, you realize that most of the songs come from the exact same mold (they all have a drum-bass break two-thirds in), but by the time Dookie is over you couldn't care less. Completely mindless and completely fun. This is Green Days best album. I first heard of Green Day when they ...
...you were asked when Green Day hit the big time, you would have to say it was it was when 'Dookie' exploded onto the scene in 1994 alongside the offspring's 'Smash'. And when you listen to this album, you will know why it was reated the 57# best album of all time. The songs on this album last forever, this is proven as i have yet to bore of the oldest and the best 'basket case'. The CD cover is great and if you read the little speach bubbles, you'll ...

Advantages: ingenious Songs, well for going off
Disadvantages: -

...of my first albums, Dookie from Green Day, to write about. I had to buy it at that time it was released, since Basket Case was my absolute favorite song. By the album I was even so inspired that I wanted to be a punk. The only thing which remained is an oversize poster with the copy of the cover over my bed. But now to the songs. *Burnout* A short drum roll before this Song fully starts. The melody and the singing are very in usual, so that the ...
...particularly hard. The text deals with the feeling of indifference in puberty. Particularly here the drums succeeded. A very good beginning. 2:07min *Having A Blast* Goes off likewise strongly forward. Absorbed guitars and choir singing provide here for enthusiasm. The text deals with an forced upon friendship. I find the text and also the song very good. 2:44min *Chump* This song scores with an ingenious drummer and great guitars. The best at ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliantly original lyrics, a good hard beat and catchy tunes
Disadvantages: Some coarse language... I think that's all :)

...Angry, energetic, and endearingly honest, Dookie is an album for anyone who’s ever loved and lost, fought with their own psyche or remembers what it was like to be a teenager. ~~ Burnout “Apathy has rained on me now I'm feeling like a soggy dream, so close to drowning but I don't mind…” With its manic drum beats and frenzied guitar, this is a great song to start the album with. Anyone who has felt themselves speeding (literally ...
...out before they actually manage to grow up, this song is for you. ~~ Having A Blast “I'm taking all you down with me, explosives duct taped to my spine. Nothing's gonna change my mind…” A violent, noisy song about losing your mind and being so angry you just want to scream your head off and smash everything in sight. If you ever find yourself feeling this way, listen to this song instead – it’ll be less destructive ... Read review

Advantages: An essential album for all Pop Punk fans out there of the world
Disadvantages: 'Basket Case' irritates me no end

'Dookie' was the album that brought mainstream success to Green Day in the 90's. Released in February 1994 through Reprise Records it contains the hit singles of 'Welcome to Paradise', 'When I Come Around', and of course 'Basket Case'. Although it was the bands breakthrough album, it is not my favourite of theirs and it is in fact their 1995 follow-up release 'Insomniac' that appeals to me most of all their albums. 'Burnout' kicks the album off ...
...way through this album with some fantastically well produced Pop Punk music that is sure to impress. Whilst 'Basket Case' is perhaps the best known track from this release however, it does in fact grate on me no end and is one track that I always skip when listening to this album. I was never a huge fan of the track, but over the years I have heard it played on the music channels so many times that I have just come to entirely despise it. I do like ... Read review

Advantages: best album of the 90s
Disadvantages: none

Dookie is the Green Day album that gained them not only a huge following of fans, not only chart success (what for a punk band!) and for many punk purists the end of the road for Green Day. Dookie is by far their most successful album, but you can see why, this album is jam packed full of quality tracks, the even the general public would listen to! Green Day started out as a little know Californian punk band. Once on the Lookout record label they ...
...record label they released a couple of albums including Kerplunk! (the best name for an album ever in my opinion) and 1039/Smoothed out Slappy Hours (What? You must be thinking!). The latter album is actually two EPs one called Slappy and the other called 1000 Hours and one album 39/Smooth (If you look at all the EP names and the album name you can see how they came up with the name). Green Day signed for the corporate record company Reprise and ... Read review
