...the title: Green Day presents american idiot. To the right of this text is a white hand, cluthcing a grenade, in the shape of a heart. The actual CD has the same nice black background printed on it, with a list of all the tracks. The sleeve is nicely dont, with lyrics written as if by hand, with lots of doodles and crossings out. The sound: When i first bought the CD (£10 from Martian Records) I only liked the American Idiot song, but only because ...

Review of American Idiot (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Green Day

...George W Bush and his American cronies. It’s all very reactionary. Everyone with a recording contract is Bush-thwacking at the moment. It’s all worthy and I can’t argue with the politics, but its getting a bit boring. American Idiot begins with the single of the same name, the undeniable highlight of the album. Its high-energy stomp is the kind of song that makes it alright for 30-somethings like me to still bleach and spike our hair and feel everything ...
...Green Day providing this kind of single to soundtrack our lives and cheer us up during rainy festivals in Leeds. When they submerge into the prog-rock mini-opera of Jesus of Suburbia however thoughts of Yes and Genesis come flooding back…Even the title reminds me of something. Anyone remember David Bowie’s Buddha of Suburbia? No? Exactly! They do wear their influences on their sleeves. Extraordinary Girl is very much like late Jellyfish’s “The ...

..."Wake me Up When September Ends" is a particularly apt track for this review because we clearly have been awoken, by the return of one of the greatest musical entrepeneurs of the 90's. Back with a vengeance and a maturity that cultivates their sound, Green Day are set to dominate once again. I honestly don't know where to start with this album, it's as big as it is beautiful. 21 tracks make up the new masterpiece, a far cry from the likes of Kerrplunk ...

Review of American Idiot (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Green Day

...album. I even wrote off American Idiot the single off as a bad song. The one lonely day i was watching kerrang and it came on. With nothing better to do i watched and listened intently. This was where I caught the green day bug. The songs seemed more mature and had an extra meaning and the solo in American Idiot just made me think they were trying to say "this is Green Day and we are back!" The album became a must have for me and therefore I went ...
...with all albums it took me a few listens to get into it. From there i learnt every song on the album on guitar, i even attempted on drums. The album was that good arguably it became an obssession. It also had a strong political view in it and therefore really caught my eye as a mature album. With a lot of messages that Green Day were trying to get across, returning to the true roots of punk, such as the Sex Pistols, and dragging it by the throat ...

Review of American Idiot (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Green Day

...people. Those who listen to American Idiot are probably, quite likely (without meaning to cause offence) the people who this album is protesting against. The best song has to be Jesus of Surburbia based purely on the epic length and opera/punk style it takes on. This creates an overwhelming surge of emotions that are candidly displayed in the lyrics. The use of profanity certainly does help to sell the anger in these songs, but for me on a personal ...
...the other songs, there is a lot of repetition in style and genre, which further highlights to me that this is not supposed to be about a great ''punk rock'' record. It's more like how Billie Joe feels about the US today, his father death (wake me up when september ends) and self pity (boulevard of broken dreams). What makes this different is the way the message has been put across. It's accessible to everyone. Anyone can understand the meaning behind ...

Review of American Idiot (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Green Day

Having been a fairweather fan of this band over the years - not madly into them but prepared to admit that they have written some good songs: Good Riddance, When I Come Around, Minority - I found myself intrigued by the reviews of this album and its anti-Bush stance in the form of a pseudo-concept album rather than the usual Punk ranting. Having heard and really liked the 3 singles so far released - especially Boulevard of Broken Dreams and Holiday ...
...of pushed into buying by my 8 yr old brother-in-law and his 10 yr old sister who really liked these songs too. I was pleasantly surprised at how much Billie Jos songwriting had come on - the two major pieces: Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming are oustanding both musically and lyrically and by bypassing the usual "I hate the government" rants that most bands resort to to make a name for themselves in such highly-charged political times it has made ...

Review of American Idiot (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Green Day

I found American idiot one of the best albums ever. If your into blink 182 or slipknot or even busted, then you'll love this! If it wasn't for green day, then, where would blink 182, slipknot or busted be today. When green day started in 1994, it started the revolution of pop/rock. Although, back in England, we haven't heard of them until just recently, when most British people heard of them, they all fell in love immediately! Although some British ...
...The first song American idiot is awesome though and although it isn't as cool as boulevard of broken dreams, it is certainly almost as good with the lyrics and the rhythm and the beat. The next song on the album was Jesus of suburbia, a five part song. Part one, Jesus of suburbia is all about Jesus being in suburbia, it could be you, me or anyone because we all perform miracles in our life – no matter how small they are, we still have miracles! Part ...

...but since the release of American Idiot everyone has gone crazy. Am ive had enough the single American Idiot also the title of the album (obviously) was great to being with even I enjoyed it. But then it began to get played on the radio all the time over and over again and then the album was advertised on TV with the American Idiot single playing in the background and then the worst had happened not only was it being played on Kerrang radio and Television ...
...heard one line in the American Idiot song and are now obsessed with the band. I do still like green but sadly im really put off by all the kids and newbys to green day who think they the number one fan when they only have 1 single or there latest album when I feel the real work is in there old stuff. For those of you who do infact like Green Day and you would like to know the price of this album then it varies from £8.99 to £14.99 and you most defiantly ...

Compared to the old Greenday, this album is very revived. The long wait for a new realease shocked everyone with this bouncy album. The quality is great, and all the songs link, telling us a full story. A great effect by far. ...

...when September ends and Home coming. Wake me up when September ends has to be my favourite track on the album as its very moving and poetic and I love it its brilliant the video to wake me up when September ends its also very heart breaking and tearful as it portrays the life and a young girl who's boyfriend has gone to war and she never knows if he will return. This album only cost me £9.99 but I have seen it for as little as £7.99 and as much as ...

Its not about an american idiot, its about a guy trying his damnedest not to be an idiot, trying not to accept the future handed to him by the establishment ("im not part of a redneck agenda"), but getting seduced by drugs ("give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright") and turning into part of the problem. Its like trainspotting, fight club, taxi driver and oliver twist set to a scorching soundtrack. ...

Review of American Idiot (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Green Day

Having just listened to this album i think its quite good. It has a good variation of tracks, from slow, heavy rock, fast paced. I wasn't expecting much from this album but was quite surprised to enjoy it. ♪ Wake me up when september ends♪ luk out for this track as it is one of the more slow tracks on the album. The song still has a good vibe to it. ♫Jesus of surburbia♫ & ♫homecoming♫ have been broken down even ...
...gud idea as at times you are able to spot a change in the song though other times you have problems. In my experience of listening to albums i can honestly say that i have never seen a track split up into so many sections. ♫American idiot♫ the debut single from this album and title of the album is sang really well and sends out a political message. The booklet inside the album in my opinion isn't particularly special but works well ...

...day before the release of American Idiot. Now, this american punk band are on an unstoppable role. This album has managed to put Green Day back up there amongst the best bands in the world. This is a fifty-seven-minute politically charged album. The brilliant "American Idiot" opens the album, with Billie Joe Armstrong having a dig at the current American government. There's plenty more of this to come. "Jesus of Suburbia" is a magnificent 9 minute ...
...embarks on a trip round America. It doesn't drag like you may expect, but simply makes you wanna pick up a guitar of your own and try and write a tune like this, because this is the business. "Holiday" is arguably the best track on the album, which is not anti - american, but anti - war. This is a trip that makes you want to bang your head non stop, but "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" afterwards is like the hangover, a powerful, addictive song, which ...

...the tracks:- 1.American idiot American Idiot is a great song which you will listen to over and over again and after a week suddenly realise there are other tracks on the CD. A good song for any time of day. I would say this is one of the best tracks on the CD but not advised for young children, featuring a couple of swear words but nothing that would bother an adult. Very good depth. Overall a great song.***** - 5 star. 2.i.Jesus of Suburbia A ...
...into a fast, bassy song which is probably good to drive along to. ii.City of the damned Another slow outing but with a quick paced and quite load chorus which is well worth listening to. The sort of chorus you fast forward to. iii.I don't care This is basically a filler and just repeats I don't care over and over but still good to fill the gaps between to great songs. iv.Dearly beloved This is singing. Not the hard rock you were listening to ...
