Advantages: Some terrific tracks are included in this collection. Disadvantages: The two new tracks recorded for this release are not very good.
'International Superhits' was released in late 2001, a greatest hits compilation album featuring two new songs also. The two new songs are those of 'Maria' and 'Poprocks & Coke', neither of which I find to be particularly enjoyable; the rest of the album however is definitely worth taking a listen to. Twenty one tracks are featured here; the two newly recorded tracks are featured first and then nineteen of the bands greatest 'International Superhits' ...

...(apart from the lads). Anyway INTERNATIONAL SUPERHITS WILL BE THE STARTING POINT OF THE REVOLUTION, THE POSTION THIS ALBUM GOT IN THE CHARTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN NUMBER ONE AND THE POP INDUSTRY WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS and as I tell you about the best album in the world either download Kazaa and then on that download Good Riddance or if you already got Kazaa then download Good Riddance.

...band.
Near the close of International Superhits we find “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) an acoustic ballad that finds Billie Joe Armstrong taking a surprisingly grown-up look into the past. "I hope you had the time of your life," he sings recognising the difference between then and now, and band who made their mark on mainstream with an album that was titled after the slang for faeces. Sometimes growing up is the only option and if you ...

Green Day were the first band I liked during my 'Crossover' from Rap to Rock. I loved how they'd sing just happy and merry songs yet have some of the deepest and most thought provoking lyrics. They're kind of a perfect middle between heavy-metal and soft rock, with a little bit of shouting in some songs, yet they'd maintain their cool and not go to overboard while shouting like maniacs. I love their Music and everything they stand for.
The band ...

Advantages: Amazing variety, and all of there best tracks from old albums Disadvantages: NONE!!
...Insomniac, American Idiot and finally, International Superhits.
Be Warned, if you only like songs of kerplunk, american idiot, 39 smooth, shenanigans, this isn't the alubum for you. However, if you like songs from Nimrod, Warning, Insomniac and Dookie, this is the perfect partner! The album contains songs form these.
This compilation album was released in 2001 on Reprise Records, and as the name suggests, it contains all of their best song from ...

Since then the band have made controversial news in their appearance at Woodstock ’94, and have completed world and national tours with an army of dedicated fans growing at every stage.
Other releases include the darker ‘Insomniac’ in 1995, hugely popular ‘Nimrod’ in 1997, the experimental ‘Warning’ in 2000, their greatest hits from 1994-2000 found in ...

The Boys are back! Review ofInternational Superhits - Green Dayby
FinkII
Advantages: Great songs, cool art work, lively Disadvantages: a few songs let it down
I love this album, I started listening to Green Day 2 years ago, so this album was well out by then.. It contains all their greatest tracks (as well as a few not so good ones) and as you listen to you will hear them as they progress and improve through their careers.
The songs starts with Maria and the album is lively from the onset, before ending with the more sombre Macy's Day Parade.
Here's what I thought of each of the tracks:
Maria-

Advantages: International Superhits: All the best of Greendays old songs! Disadvantages: none!
...track listing and the black International Superhits logo used on the front cover.
PLAYLIST
1. Maria- Catchy, one of their earliest hits but not the best on the album. I would rate it at 3/5.
2. Poprocks And Coke- An extremely catchy tune, which is great to sing along to. One of my firm favourites- 4/5
3. Longview- the bassline in this song is amazing and their is some great guitar playing at the beginning. This is one of the best tracks musically. ...

...2001 compilation ‘Green Day – International Superhits’. Priced at only £5.97 form Asda, it has 21 tracks, all of which are brilliant, it’s a complete bargain. I would advise anyone who hasn’t already, too rush out and buy it.
The band consists of Billy Joe – Guitar and Vocals, Mike Dirnt – Bass and Tre Cool – Drums. The albums track listing is:
1. Maria
2. Poprocks & Coke
3. Longview

Advantages: All the best of early Green Day in one package. Disadvantages: Only a 'Greatest Hits', rather than a real album.
Firstly, I'll start by saying that this IS NOT a true Green Day album, it's merely a collection of the best tracks from their early releases. As such, most fans will have no real reason to buy this, as they'll have heard all but two of the songs already.
The tracks, in the most part, are taken from the first four albums (Dookie, Insomniac, nimrod., and Warning), with the following exceptions:
'Maria' was a b-side to the single 'Warning',
'She' ...

Advantages: A combination of Green Day's best songs from their albums Disadvantages: NONE!!
I bought this as a taster of the other albums by Green Day simply because I didn't want to go out and buy all of them. I think that the guys have done well in putting this collection together and it shows how their well written and wonderful lyrics can be expressed through amazing rock songs by the almighty Green Day. The neswest album is also one to look out for "American Idiot" (which you may relate to my user name as I am a big fan) is also an ...

...have this album. Green Days International Superhits is nothing short of a punk-fest extravaganza!
This Album contains all the top songs spanning from the albums Nookie up until Warning. These include the classics from Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, Geek Stink Breath, Nice Guys Finish Last, Warning, Minority and many more classics.
What grabbed me more about this Album is the way Billy Joe, Tre and Mike all created that Punk-Rock feeling that ...
