American Idiot is a hot albummm
 

Agreed.

I agree, minus the mentally retarded spelling.

I still prefer their pre-Dookie cds (39/smooth and Kerplunk!)...and as for their mainstream days..Insomniac pwnd em all!

Music is for sinners anyway.

Repent!! :mad:

Sez the failed pope.

Wow, where did you go all this time?

Had the album for awhile loved it.

Saw them in albany last night, and what a fuckin show. One of the best live shows I've seen, better than expected specially their covers of Shout and We Are The Champions

That would be interesting to hear.

Yea, my sister went to thier show the other day and they played We Are the Champions she said.

I'm sick of the album now.. I've listened to it a lot.

I have thrashed it, don't listen to it much now. It's still all over the radio :mad:

Yeah its a great album

It's not a terrific album. There's a few good songs on there. Although that Boulevard of Broken Dreams is fuckin stupid. It's so slow and depressing. If I want to listen to depressing songs, I'll borrow Simple Plan off someone.

Oi. Why would anyone want to listen to a Simple Plan anyway?

Boulevard of Broken Dreams is a decent song, but it really shines in its place within the concept album American Idiot is supposed to be. context. Depressing? yeah, but it's cool.

And this is considering I can't name a single SONG off one of their other records I even like.

American Idiot is a fantastic album. One of the best of the last five years or so.

As has been said before, the title track doesn't quite fit the overall feel of the album, but it does sort of work as a foreword to it. Top to bottom, there's not a weak song on the album, and I constantly find myself humming one track or another.

When I first heard that they were making a "rock opera," I thought they'd completely lost their minds, but it really is wonderful. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.

Exactly my point.

It's a fantastic album which I think is Green Day's best work. American Idiot, Jesus of Suburbia, Holiday, Boulevard, Letterbomb, When September Ends and Homecoming are all top songs. In my view it's the album of the year.

I can't pick a bad song off the album.

They don't thrash it on the radio station I listen to, so the only time I hear it is when I play it.

Pretty lame point.

The only song I hear on the radio is BoBD.

Not surprising though.

I read this thinking the title said American Idol. :o

I deleted the album off my computer the other day. Sick of hearing it. :p

lol stfu

It is indeed one fan-fucking-tastic album. I should listen to it right now and I probably will.

I nearly played it in the car the other day when I was on a long trip - I played the new Foo Fighters instead :y:

Green Day still rocks tho'

I completely agree.

I actually finally got myself to listen to it last month and I was really impressed by it. Boulevard of Broken dreams being played 15,000 times a day on the radio was pretty much halting me from listening to it. Glad I did :y:

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, it's a fuckin' great album...not a weak song on it.</font>

Now that its kool for punk to actually have something to say Green Day decideds to say something. Fuck them.

Dookie > All

Way to bitch about an argument you evidently don't understand.

If punk is all about a message, why are the Ramones (Often as shallow as the beach boys) considered punk?

They're rubbish.

Yeah, but the reason that they're not punk isn't that they're not "anti-authority," it's because they're more produced than New Wave, can't play for shit, and really have nothing to do with punk.

It had nothing to do with authority. The only "rebellion" in punk was from overprocessed sound and overproduced record cuts. Which all those groups use. In other words, it was counter-culture, so by definition, Blink can never be punk.

But hey, ramble on like the stupid twat you normally are. I mean, it must be punk because you said so...

I don't think RDD is saying they are punk. He is saying he just laughs at the people who bitch and moan about those bands not being punk.

Does it matter? His argument is pointless anyway.

Besides, he calls them punk all the time. I'd say he's said they're punk enough.

They're only considered "punk" because whiny understood little girls like him don't want to call them what they really are...Boy bands.

BTW, Linkin Park is my favorite thrash artist.

That's ironic, they happen to be my favorite techno group :shifty:

Yeah, they're a fusion act.

It depends on the era. Punk meant different things at different times. In the begining it was a conservative movement (the Ramones were mostly conservative as an example) and it was about just being over the top, and playing shitty songs as fast as you could. In the 80's/90's, punk became more about a message. In recent years it has morphed into some kind of annoying whiney emo bullshit.

Green Day just fucking sucks to me. They marketed punk to the masses in a bubble gum disguise and created legions of kids who thought they were being all cool and different, like all the annoying real punk kids who real and different, but atleast the "real punks" most of the time were listening to music that provoked real thought. Same thing with Blink and all those shitty pop punk bands, marketing punk to the masses.. I woulndt even hate GD so much if it werent for that American Idiot song. they wait till they can safely have a message before they decide to. fuck them.

Seriously ahh I hate GD, give me some fucking Bad Religion, best punk band ever.

you only hold this opinion because you know you listen to shitty girl music.
