Green Day have just released their new 'Best Of' album, but to be honest its reaaally not. Its pretty poor. If it was really a best of album they should have bought the rights off LookOut records for Kerplunk and 1039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. Ok, so I guess, the Superhits album isnt that bad, but if you want to get a Green Day album, it has to be Nimrod.
A sublime line up of 18 awesome songs. Every one of these songs different, and yet every song also has that awesome Green Day feel to it. Not only this, but every song seems to be a classic, whether it be, Hitchin A Ride, Redundant, Time of your life or The Grouch, if you think you like punk rock, after listening to this, you will LOVE it.
When they went on tour for this album, it was quite easily the best gigs they have ever played. They blasted onto stage and played all the classics plus almost the whole of Nimrod. Ive seen a lot of bands in my time, almost all of them superb, but Green Day, blew all of them away with their performance of Nimrod.
My advice to everyone out there is to put Nimrod top of the CD shopping list. An 18 track wonder that you will listen to countless times! This is The Very Best Of Green Day!!!
