Advantages: loud, tuneful, cynical, beautiful Disadvantages: it ends
This is an album that I put on repeat and sing along to. I've done this a few times a day in the last week. I think it's starting to get on my roommates nerves, but I don't care, because I love this album. Oh yes. Love. To take it back a little, Green Day are one of the big names in rock. Some people are more devoted than others, some people will tell you that they wimped out with "Warning", some people will just glaze over thinking about Billie ... ...fall on the latest product, and this one is another upward boost. Unlike most albums, this one has something of theme, phrases and ideas from one song turning up in another, linking it all together in a glorious glee of sound. Admittedly, the video for "Wake Me Up When September Ends" was, in my opinion, a mistake - it's more of a short film with music than a music video, and the kids really annoyed me - but that video is not on this CD. This is ...

...the rock style of American idot , to the more chilling Wake Me Up When September Ends. The anti-war / America message shows a different style to the previous albums, but is still as good. The only problem I have with the album is the fact that some of the songs have been over-played, the best example of this is Boulevard Of Broken Dreams.
It is worth buying, even if you have heard other Green Day albums and don't think they are anything special, ...

Advantages: Fast, Furious, Funny, Interesting Disadvantages: Some songs are dreary.
This outstanding band has produced one of the finest albums any of us have seen for years.
The now elderly band (almost together for 15 years now) has changed musical history.
The album is all most a story of a man named Jimmy rampaging around doing drugs, messing around and really having no sense.
But then things happen and he becomes rapidly more deppresive with some of the later songs such as a line in "Letter Bomb" is:
"It's not over till ...

One of green day's finest albums, i really like the songs but some are really rubbish although that is my opinion, i do love some of the songs, some are quite stupid. On of their new songs with U2 is not in the album which is sad :-( but you can always buy the single, and now that they are much older the songs are much better and their image is much better.... Th'e lyrics are very interesting and meaningful, my favourite song is 'american idiot' ...

Advantages: A great way to get into a good mood Disadvantages: Some tracks have already been over played on the radio causing dislike.
...after listening to the track American Idiot on the radio. Like most albums i expected more then one track to completely uniterest me and therefore lead me to disliking the album, on some levels. However, i found that it was a wise buy as i am interested by all the tracks and that greenday have kept up te good work. With their usual range of sounds greenday have done it again and this time they have even decided to write a story with the lyrics of ...

Advantages: Good songs Disadvantages: Not like previous Green Day songs.
...back with their newest album; American Idiot. Fused with their trademark pop punk riffs, this really was the album that 'made' Green Day. Despite all their previous top selling albums, this album appealed to everyone. The album itself is somewhat of a punk opera. American Idiot is a very typical, sadistic teens outlook on life. At times the album seems very childish and manufactured but nevertheless, it was and still is a huge hit.
The songs on ... ...but I think that despite American Idiot bringing many new fans to Green Day, it also destroyed some of their dedicated fans, people who liked their 'real' music. This album contains the kind of music which you can just sit and sing along to. Fun and easy going - if you're into pop punk riffs and sadistic lyrics. ...

Advantages: Great Music! Disadvantages: Some inapropriate language!
American Idiot, is the number one album from Green Day.
I bought the album for £8.99 off the internet. At first I wasn't sure about my purchase, all of my friends had the album, and I had only heard the one single, "American Idiot". But after I recieved the album in the post, it was straight into my walkman ( a personal CD player!) and then I realized how ace it was!
It is agreeable that it is the type of music that is to the liking of some people ... ...some people. But, you soon forget the occasional "sh*t" or "f***" as the music circulates your head with the though - provoking lyrics.
But it is up to you tif you want to buy the ace album.

...it is about a typical American kid taking drugs because, and he feels emptiness in his life. It’s been 4 years of waiting since warning was released and it proves to be worth the wait.
Seeing the Cd’s title and its front cover, you can already say that this album will have a political theme. They reminds me of a punk rock band called ‘”The Clash”, maybe Greenday would want follow their footsteps. “Boulevard of broken dreams” and “American idiot ... ...trying to dominate the whole world and Greenday is showing their disappointment about the whole war thing. Overall this album will be Greenday’s finest work as to date, with lyrics and melodies that goes well between songs plus voicing their very important message that America has gone mad over the war in Iraq. This is definitely a must have album. ...
