Okay, i think it is Green Days best album so far, people may moan about the ballads, selling out and them riding the political coattails. While it annoys me that all anyone knows are the ballads they are amazing and everyone liked them before they were released as singles, some people said they sold out with Dookie because it sold loads, they then made Insomniac which wasn't big hit stuff so also erm 2 10 minute songs hardly gonna smash into charts with those are they! Also only two songs on the album are remotely political really (they just happened to be singles) the rest is a kind of a concept album really. Basically with this album they saw Blink and the following crowd were all 'growing up' (in other words writing ballads, serious topics and dabbling with make up and black) and starting to catch up. Green Day looked at this, looked at their watches, asked what took them so long, released this and stormed off into the distance. BUT what i wanted to mention (went off on a tangent) was that i listened to the album without the lead part (you know when your CD player goes duff and the vocals and some of the instruments cut out). and i recommend you do it at least once! The backing vocals are really great and you notice all these little bits that you didn't notice before! Its pretty cool yay!

EXACTLY! They can't win really, if it had hardly sold any people would claim it was hardcore etc. or crap. It sells loads and they are sell outs!
Like I've said before, my gripe with them becoming this popular is you get tonnes or dull FHM type blokes/lads coming to their gigs. Despite thinking they are "nutta's!" they are actually REALLY dull!

lol when one has a girlfriend, one is not bothered about the ladies. Plus I'm not bothered about women at gigs anyway, look at most of the guys that are... how much fun does it look like they have? As INTERESTING as i'm sure your hair is, i'd rather dance about a bit!

Oh viewing pleasure fair enough. Even my GF has said i can look but not touch (or gawp, and if i look make sure i'm not with her and its not OTT). But as i'm sure you know some people just go for the wet pink stuff!

I know this is slightly off topic now - but I have since listened to American Idiot on a dodgy player and Andy is right! There is loads of stuff on there that you never notice, and some of it's quite cool. I'm not a huge fan of the ballardy ones myself - although Boulevard of Broken Dreams has cool lyrics - but I agree that it is their best so far.

because it makes dem down wit da kidz!
I personally wouldn't want to be known as someone who is down wit da kidz. Rumours would start flying, accusations will be made and courtrooms will follow! all from spelling cool with a K.
*not going to make obvious Jacko joke*
