![]() 21 Guns $0.99 This music sucks so bad it would make feces smell good. Green Day suck and this song is possibly one of the worst, most annoying songs I've had the displeasure of hearing. Die Green Day. ![]() Insomniac $7.98 Although "Dookie" is always considered the best Green Day album, to me "Insomiac" is DEFINITELY just as good, if not BETTER. On "Insomniac", Green Day gives us the bratty attitude, heavy power chords, catchy vocal melodies, energetic drumming and powerful basslines that make these 33 minutes a true punk classic. The music on this album is a bit heavier than "Dookie" and it's overall a bit more in-your-face, but with that comes a big slab of unforgettable songs that you can basically listen to all the way through and never get bored with. This album has spawned the popular songs such as "Geek Stink Breath" with its heavy chugging guitar riffs, the metal-influenced headbanger "Brain Stew" which feels like the entire song is one big breakdown...in a good way!, the very fast and very punk "Jaded", and the semi-sarcastic, semi "I don't care" attitude of "Stuck With Me". Those songs right there capture Green Day in their prime, but even beyond that we get even more. "Aramtage Shanks", the opener, reminds me quite a bit of "Burnout", the first song on "Dookie". "Brat" is one of my favorite old Green Day songs with a very catchy vocal melody throughout the chorus. "86" is another sing-a-long with a really cool overall vibe to it. "Panic Song" has a frantic opening bassline and a long, really well-written intro. The rest of the songs all fit in together really well and flow nicely, making it an overall conscice and smooth album. "Insomniac" is definitely one of the best albums of punk in the last 20 years, and is far too underrated for its own good. With that being said, I hope all reader will go to the store, pick it up and crank it in your room, your car, wherever. "Insomniac" is Green Day at their best! Thanks for the time, and peace. ![]() American Idiot $18.98 Many people have called Green Day "sell-outs" or "modern rock/punk posers", but I beg to differ those opinions. True in their early days of "Kerplunk!" and "Dookie" they had a punk sound and were full of angst and rebellion, but one can't stay young forever. The prior album to this was "Warning". That's a great album too, but this one (American Idiot) is the hallmark album of their careers. This album also shows the bands maturity and it shows they have a bit of a soft side. "Wake Me Up When September Ends" is about Billy Joe's fathers death and also references to 9/11. For a band to be taken seriously, they need to show some softness and emotion. After 5 years of this albums release, I still get a little emotional when I hear that song. The first single, however, is pretty straight forward. Why conform to the accepted American norm? Don't be American Idiots people! Yes, this is not the first rock opera ever released in the history of music, but it is most certainly one of the best ever. I love every track on this album. I am thirsty for more Billy, Mike and Tre. Please keep on rocking until you are in your 50s!! (Did I mention that I've loved Green Day since "Kerplunk"?) ![]() Nimrod $11.98 Well first I have to say I am not into green day's old stuff. Anyways so I bought this cd from best buy and when I got home got it on my ipod nano 4g. So I started listening to it and thought that it take some time to get used to but it has been a year of constantly trying to listen to it and I think its just good. Sure I found three songs I really liked but nothing else I could really relate of have fun with listening to. Anyways I would not get nimrod if you like 21st century breakdown. |
