Album Description

The first original album since 2000 from modern rock superheroes Green Day, American Idiot is one of the most anticipated and controversial albums of the year. Scathing yet self-effacing as it tells the tale of Green Dayâ??s Billie Joe Armstrong, American Idiot is the punk rock epic. "A bold, polished punk opera." (Entertainment Weekly) "They're the biggest, most successful, punk band the world has ever seen. What's more, Green Day's next album may well be their masterpiece." (Kerrang!)

Amazon.com

For its first new set of music since 2000's Warning, Green Day tears up the blueprint and comes up with something unexpected: a punk rock concept album built around elaborate melodies, odd tempo changes, and a collection of songs that freely reference classic rock warhorses like the Beatles and Pink Floyd. "She's a Rebel" and "St. Jimmy" might sound like vintage Green Day, but the rest of the disc finds the Northern California trio trying on a variety of different guises: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is a cliché-strewn Foo Fighters-style power ballad; "Extraordinary Girl" floats on Indian strings; and the hushed "Wake Me Up When September Ends" wouldn't sound entirely out of place on a Jessica Simpson record. It doesn't always work. "Dearly Beloved" eerily resembles the Alarm's "68 Guns," while the title track eerily resembles something Green Day has already done far too many times. But, overall, American Idiot represents a promising step forward. --Aidin Vaziri

Most people would probably be shocked to know that Green Day has been in the music business for over 20 years because of how relevant they still are to our society. My favorite song period by Green Day is definitely Jesus Of Suburbia. Longer than most songs, it has the chance to show several sides of the story of life.

You don't get more corporate rock than this album. When I think of Green Days American Idiot I think of those im so "different" yet just like everybody else teenagers.

This is good, but not for all people. Kids would probably like this the most. You probably would not like this if over 30, but thats just my opinion.

I don't really not like this album but it could have been better. Although i did like "Holiday" i wouldn't recommend this album unless you truely like Green Day.

Im sorry but this album was not worth the purchase. Almost every track on this, bored me to death. Dont get me wrong there are some track such as track 22, when it's time that are worth listening to, however i would not pay for this cd.

Green Day has always produced a great sound. While they have changed their sound a bit with the times, that is to be expected. The first single off this album "American Idiot" is a great song to get a feel for the "new" Green day.
