Music

This is the first Green Day album I have listened to in any depth since Dookie. I am not sure if I have been missing out, but American Idiot would certainly suggest that I have. I had heard nothing but good things about this album and it was time I found out for myself if they were true.

I will admit now that this review is a bit overdue as I have been listening to the album for a few weeks. I really enjoy it. Green Day takes a pretty interesting political and social stance that you do not generally see in mainstream music. My favorite tracks off of the album are #2 "Jesus of Suburbia" and #3 "Holiday".

A pretty interesting piece of gossip is that there will be a movie deal for Green Day associated with this album. That would be pretty exciting for the boys in the band I am sure. That on top of winning the Grammy for Best Rock Album in 2004 should make them pretty proud of American Idiot. Check it out.

Buy American Idiot $13.49
