Dookie - Green Day > Reviews

Advantages: Not a bad track on this
Disadvantages: None

Still my fave green day album even although their newer stuff is amazing also. So much energy in this record, every song is catchy, power punk. Mike Dirnt's bass lines are what make these songs so catchy and as a bass player I love this album, for playing along with. I bought this when it first came out but it still sounds fresh today, just as good as any of the newer/younger punk bands around. There are no ballad-y type songs on this album, the ... Read review

Advantages: Great lyrics, bass rhythms and drumming. Good vocals too.
Disadvantages: A little short.

...I have to say that Dookie has to be the best album they have ever released, their newer ones such Warning is not a patch on it. Every song is different, yet still brilliant, the bass, guitar and drums working together so well in every song. My favourites are 'Welcome to paradise' and 'Burning Out', both classics. I have seen it available at HMV for £9.99, but cheaper at Woolworths for only £7.99. Nobody should be without it. ... Read review

Advantages: Energy, eloquence, genuine
Disadvantages: Angsty

Dookie is an absolute necessity for any nouveau Green Day bandwaggoner. Find out where it all began, and experience Green Day as they were when they were still young and didn't wear makeup and skinny jeans. Dookie's songs speak to a generation of kids experiencing angst, as well as adults who remember how it was. Songs like She are quite possibly the most eloquent of the whole pop/punk genre. Original Green Day really can't compare to today's geriatric ... Read review

What can I say? A friend of mine once said that every dy should have some Green Day, I'd have to agree. Classic album and a must for every music fan.

Advantages: Pop punk at its very very best.
Disadvantages: Maybe a few too many songs.

...to fame with Americam Idiot, Dookie still remains, in my opinion, their finest work. The album kicks off as it means to go on with the fast paced punk rock of Burnout. The lyrics also set the tone for the rest of the album, talking about apathy, bordom and as the title suggests, burnout. Having a Blast and Chump continue the mood of bored and angry youth with Chump segueing into one of the highpoints of the album, the instumental of Longview. Here ... Read review

Advantages: a breath of fresh air in punk music
Disadvantages: first few songs are only average

this is NOT the debut album of greenday but it is the one that made the band a big hit giving them chart success and a very large number of fans around the world. If you don't remember the first song you've heard from the band, allow me to remind you of "Basket case". Now you should remember of what was going on in the year 1994. The truth is that in this album you will also find a song called "welcome to paradise" which was recorded back in 1991 ... Read review

Advantages: Many great songs on the CD, addictive and captivating, awe striking
Disadvantages: Nothing i can think of!

IMy favourite all time CD in many respects! In all honesty, before i purchased this CD, i had only ever heard of Green Day and had never actually listened to any of their music. As a result i bought this CD without knowing whether or not i would enjoy it... I WAS NOT idsappointed. It took a while for me to appreciate all the songs on the CD, but after listening to it once i was addicted. It was perfect for me as a young wanna be guitarist. I had ... Read review

Advantages: Great lyrics and Sounds
Disadvantages: None at all

This album was released in 1995 but it still lives on to be a great album. Great tracks such as When I come around, Welcome to paradise and Longview give this album a great rating for listening. With Billy Joe Armstrong singing and Tre Cools drummin they contrast to form a great sound one not to be forgotten, the lyrics are great and it is excellent. i think this album will be on the shelves for more years to come, already it has been up the ...

Advantages: Unique style
Disadvantages: Not suitble for all ages

This is one of the first Green Day ablums I owned. Absoulutly loved it. Green Day certainly aint everybodys cup of tea so to speak and I myself listen to many different types of music but I really enjoyed this cd. The Californan band first hit England in the early 90's and never really went away, there was a queit period before they smashed into the top 40 again Band members are Billie Joe Armstrong - Vocals/Guitar, Mike Dirnt - Bass/Vocals, ...

Brilliant songs, best played very loud. Easy to sing along to. Still sounds great when you listen to it, even though it is over 10 years old.

Advantages: Great songs, Green Day's best.
Disadvantages: None that I can think of!

...older material, I think that Dookie was Green Day's most original album and by far the best! Every song on the album has a unique and catchy sound, and not like many other bands that I can think of. On this album the band have gone for a very up-beat sound, without losing the punk-rock beat. I'm sure you'll love the album just as much as I do! This album proves that Green Day are deffinately in tune with the kids from the 90's. :) ... Read review

Advantages: the whole album!
Disadvantages: It's not free!

...own sound, the music on dookie tends to be short guitar blazing tracks, which do more then to please any Punk-wanabie. There are so many tracks on this album I like, I don't want to sound like a lier and make you think i'm overating this album, But honestly if you like punk, Greenday are the only contenders, Sure theres bands like Offspring, but sadly they seem to be going more commercial all the time. I loved Greenday since I first heard Nimrod at ... Read review
