What do you think? American Idiot by Green Day?

Question

I think its GENIUS with the whole rebel, St.Jimmy versus JOS thing, but I personaly like their older stuff better. WARNING is my favorite album. And dont true fans are ones who like stuff on American Idiot best. Whats your fave album and what do you think about American Idiot?

Answer 1

i was listening to st. jimmy when i saw the question XD american idiot has half good songs half.....well not so good lol. i think doogie was my favorite

Answer 2

I actually adore this album by them, I don't believe it's their best but it is definetly a masterpiece.I like their album Dookie.

Answer 3

My favourite albums are Dookie and Nimrod. But I also like Kerplunk! and Warning a lot.

Although I think American Idiot is still a great album, the whole concept it's based upon is incredible, I think. I love how they made these characters which re-appear and represent certain things.  

Answer 4

Wait, true fans like American Idiot best? How about: A bunch of teenage girls thought Billie Joe Armstrong was so super hot and thought he was so rebellious to make a song called American Idiot. Oh, his eyeliner and beautiful green eyes.

Billie even said "There are times when we are playing older stuff and people in the front don't even know what we are playing." They think that's a good thing, finally getting out of the shadow of Dookie, but when really it's just a bunch of teenyboppers buying the album and going to see them in concert.

Or am I just interpreting that sentence wrong? If I am, I'm sorry.

Anyway, I think it's better than people give it credit for. They don't see the whole JOS/St. Jimmy/Whatsername story. They just see American Idiot and think it's ****. They have to give the d**n album a try.

But my favorite albums are: Dookie, Nimrod, Warning and Kerplunk!

I like 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, too.

Answer 5

It wasn't bad, a couple of songs made me cringe a bit but there was enough good ones on there for me to class it a good album.

Warnings my fave too, Blood s*x & Booze is a top tune.

Dookie's great of course but Nimrod is seriously underrated, short and to the point punk rock!!

Answer 6

i like doodkie, but american idiot is good 2. but i am not a huge fan of them, i'm more of a fall out boy fan

Answer 7

10,000 slapped out happy hours and dookie are the best american idiot was awful mostly
