American Idiot (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Green Day > Reviews

Advantages: Excellent vocals, guitar work and overall quality.
Disadvantages: Some of the softer songs arent quite as good

...more operatic rock styles and American idiot, the latest offering from them leans so far into it, I would say it is no longer pop punk. Greenday have already produced a good number of albums, all of which have given us 'classic' songs. Dookie the bands breakthrough 1994 album gave us 'Longview' and 'Basketcase' Insomniac Gave us 'Brainstew' and Nimrod gave us 'Time of your life' It was 2000 when the band hit the mainstream though with ...

Advantages: best album of the year
Disadvantages: some people don't own it

...working on their just-released album American Idiot. I knew I would have to buy this CD, especially because I am seeing Green Day in concert in October. I eagerly anticipated September 20, the day it would be released, then couldn't get out of bed long enough to go to the store and buy a copy. Finally, I stole my roommate's and burned it (but I plan to get my own soon!). It was definitely worth the four year wait. This album finds the band experimenting ... Read review

Advantages: One of the finest albums you'll find this decade
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...powerful, serene-yet-shatterproof experience that is American Idiot was born. Contrary to popular misconception, this isn’t a record aimed straight at George Bush’s jugular. Rather, it’s the story of a character, Jimmy, who is content living in his own bubble, away from the real world suppression of Dubya’s regime. On the album opener and title track – a three minute thrashathon ripped straight from the Green-Day-by-numbers Annual – Jimmy expresses ... Read review

Advantages: Scathing, brilliant, powerful, dramatic, emotive, damning, searching... pretty darn good
Disadvantages: Not many

...most bizarre spectacles of the American Presidential election of 2004 was undoubtedly the sight of Democratic Presidential hopeful John Kerry sharing a stage with Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool, collectively known as Green Day, a punk band who had previously demonstrated a very limited knowledge of politics, preferring instead to sing anthems about marijuana and masturbation. The answer to how this came about lies with the band's captivating, ... Read review

Advantages: Its GREEN DAY!!! *squeals*
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

American Idiot is Green Day's return to the music world after their last release of International Superhits back in 2001. I liked many of the songs on their last album, although would not have really considered myself as a big fan of Green Day. On the other hand, I totally love this album, although when I first heard it was not entirely a "huge" fan of Green Day although I did like most of their stuff. This album has developed my interest in Green ... Read review

Advantages: Good Vocals, Political, rocking tunes
Disadvantages: one or two fillers

...of 57 minutes. TRACK ONE - AMERICAN IDIOT --------------------------------------------- As the first chords rip through this track you instantly think back to earlier albums by the band, so in a lot of ways it’s a bit of a false start to the album, but seeing how well it did in the charts people seemed to like it. The song is about the state of things in America, with the Bush government and its wars, it’s also about how the media is really ... Read review

Advantages: great vocal, great songs, everything's great and perfect
Disadvantages: can never get enough of it

...Boulevard of Broken dream in American Idiot album. As their big fan, I am really, really proud of them. I wrote this review while listening to their songs. My housemate must really mad at me right now because he's actually getting bored with it and also he's not really into alternative rock, funk music, he's more to dance music. Well I started to become Green day fans when I listened one of their song from album "Insomniac", Walking Contradiction. ... Read review

Advantages: exhilerating punk opera, over an hour's worth of music, blinding melodies and exhilerating guitars.
Disadvantages: none!

...album once the already familiar American Idiot is out the way, it is this song, at the switch between "Jesus of Suburbia" and "City of the Damned" that you realise that this is a classic album. The nine minute romp of five songs mixed together in a swirling medley is reminiscent of a show tune. This is the introduction of the main character and his life in Jingle Town USA "in the land of make-believe that don't believe in me". Complaining that "everyone's… ... Read review

Advantages: Likeable, Good music
Disadvantages: Not as good as previous albums.

...the latest studio album by American pop-punk rockers Green Day. This is the album that exploded their popularity in the UK and had them filling stadiums in minutes. Milton Keynes Bowl filled with 65,000 people two days in a row gives you some idea of their popularity. This album is a more commercially friendly album than the rest of the works by the trio. After quite a while of not producing an awful lot, this was well worth waiting for. Well, ... Read review

...mixture of hit singles like American Idiot and some good un-hear tracks like Give Me Novacaine. Track listings are- American idiot- This song signifies that Green Day are back!
