American Idiot: Parental Advisory - Green Day Reviews

American Idiot is Green Day's seventh album and was created after the masters for an album entitled "Cigarettes and Valentines" were stolen. Whether this was a better album or a blessing in disguise we will never know, but the band decided to start over with American Idiot. American Idiot is a new direction for Green Day, instead of ...  Read the complete review

American Idiot is Green Day's seventh album, and sadly, not their best. I don't use the term "selling out" because I think it's naive to say, but this album has marked something of a decline in the quality of their songs, and with its political commentary on America, it just feels as though they're jumping on the bandwagon with whatever ...  Read the complete review

American Idiot, the 7th studio release from the brilliant Green Day has to be one of the most important albums of the noughties! The band were almost ready to give up after encountering problems working together, a 4 year gap since last album Warning, and having the original master tapes stolen from the studio. Instead of giving up though, the ...  Read the complete review

Green Days American Idiot has got to be one of the longest owned albums I have in my relatively young collection. I also shall add that not only does it hold this position, but it also probably holds the top spot as my favourite album, or at least it is somewhere near the top! I can remember the first time I listened to it all the way through. It ...  Read the complete review

American idiot was the seventh studio album from the band green day, and it was also their most recent album until the release of their new album 21st century breakdown recently. It was a bit of a change from the days of punk they used to be in and it was seen as a lot more mainstream than their other albums, however I can see the benefits in this ...  Read the complete review

Well have been reviewing some of my favorite albums, and have been working my way upto this one! This is in my humble opinion the greatest album in the history of music. Now I know very people will agree with me on the and that's fine. When I bought 5 years back in 2004 I never really expected it to be that good. Have always like Green Day but ...  Read the complete review

Green Day American Idiot (2004) I noticed the other day that the new Green Day single 'Know your enemy' from their new album has been getting a lot of airplay, so have had a listen to their new album (which I will review at a later date) and compared it to this album, which I have to say I find hard to believe was released ...  Read the complete review

I love Green Day, always have and although some may say that this isn't clssic Green Day and that they have gone commercial I still love it. I think the best thing about this albumn is that you don't have to be a Green Day fan to love it and I think thats what music is all about, connecting with people, many different people. Whats not to love? ...  Read the complete review

I've been a fan of Green Day since the old Dookie days, but since buying this album I've been a huge fan. American Idiot is their seventh studio album and has a more mature sound then the albums that came before it. It is a little more mainstream than their previous works but the talent is still fantastic and the tracks incredibly ...  Read the complete review

So, I reviewed Green Day's 'Dookie' and thought that I may as well review all of the other Green Day albums that I own aswell! The following information about the band is copied from my Dookie review as I couldn't really change it but I feel that the information is still needed! **THE BAND** Green Day are an American ...  Read the complete review

While Green Day had already established themselves on the world stage before the release of this album, the catchy anthems, epic tracks and social conscience found on this CD served to remind us all why they got to be so popular in the first instance. The band have managed to create an album that is powerful but also easy to listen to and there's ...  Read the complete review

Green Day are a great American punk band and while this album is not their best, I tend to prefer their earlier material which is far more edgy and raw it is still a great album that I'm still listening to every so often. There is a good mix on this album, some fast and frenetic songs that they do so well and some slower more edgy songs ...  Read the complete review

Green Day came back, with a vengence in 2004 with American Idiot. Although this album is not my personal favorite, it is 110% top notch. Old Green Day were more underground back in the day but the release of American Idiot aka "new" Green Day blasted them into the mainstream. Not a lot of people know that this album is actually A ...  Read the complete review

I can never really decide whether I want to be a rock chick or a dance diva, I do love dance music however equally I enjoy rock concerts, it is a real dilemma at festivals that offer both options at the same time but such is life. American Idiot is not Greenday best album, you have to sample their earlier work to get that but it is ...  Read the complete review

In the last ten years or so, I have been a great lover of alternative rock. If I was pushed to reveal my two favourite bands, I would have to say , the foo fighters, and the red hot chili's. Green day, would probably weigh in at a close third. The first of their albums that I heard was dookie, way back more years ago than I care to ...  Read the complete review

Green Day are one of the most famous punk/rock groups in the world, and this is mainly down to the album they released 4 years ago. I first got into Green Day when I heard what is fast becoming one of their trade mark songs, American Idiot, and the rythym just caught me and stayed with me, and from then on I couldn't get it out of my ...  Read the complete review

Green Day:American idiot: At first i thought it wouldnt be the same greenday i thought they changed their style of music to something more less punk. but i was obviously wrong its took me until now to get this album and yes thats a long time 4 years but i was afraid of wasting my money on an album i wouldnt like. turns out ive only gone ...  Read the complete review

As you have guessed by now for the members of the site - this is where my member picture is from. It is the heart grenade that features on the front of this magnificent CD. I think Green Day is now my favourite band as their music is great. Here is the factual information on the CD: Released: September 21st 2004 Genre: ...  Read the complete review

This has to be the most surprising album yet from Green Day after the studio demo recording for their latest release was stolen from their recording studio. The band seemed to have moved away from their typical new wave punk style and focused on a more commercial and mainstream type of rock music. In terms of popularity I think that this album ...  Read the complete review
