I enjoyed the album more than I would think. It's got some very good songs on it (especially "Wake Me Up When September Ends"). The idea of a 'rock opera' doesn't really work though. It feels more like a regular studio album...

Rated it 75/100.

If American punk-rock meets "The Wall" then this would be the result. I remember back when I was a pre-teen and rocking out to Green Day. While I have grown tired of their music, this album has a brilliant story to it, filled with raw emotion - whether it's the ballads or the chapter tracks - it's good.

ok so maybe it's not the white album, and maybe green day aren't the beatles, but it's a damn good album, especially for a band whose song's mostly only incorporate a four-chord power-pattern, but you have to give them credit for being so ambitious. good on them, so what it may not sound THAT much different from their previous albums but it's loads of fun and deserves to be remembered for it. everybody chill and stop being so anally pretentious about what a "good" album is, enjoy and expand with all kinds of music, start here :)

Pseudo-political riff-raff from a pop punk band that never outgrew their teen angst. It's ambitious for them but mediocre at best. Definitely has some good moments.

For intellectual political punk/rock see Fugazi, Gang Of Four, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag...

A damn good album. Would be better if it weren't for "Are We the Waiting", which is just a God-awful track, but being as short as it is I'm usually willing to forgive the album that misstep. The first four tracks are virtually flawless, and though it loses steam after that, there are plenty of brilliant tracks ("She's a Rebel", "Letterbomb", "Homecoming" were always among my favorites).

I believe this is their best album. Green Day has never made album anyway. Just great from start to finish. In my top 10.

There are a lot of jerks who come here and vote down comments appreciating this excellent album. Maybe they're the same people who voted for Dubya Bush. OK, that's not fair... but likely true in some cases. There never should have been a time so lousy that it called for a punk rock opera like this. But then there was... a time so incredibly stupid.... when everything got so turned upside down that rock stars were actually supporting a war based entirely on a pack of see-through lies. And everyone pretended it was right.. except for a very few. Of all the major rock bands, only one band said fuck it, this bullshit calls for something big, balls-to-the wall awesome that will get lots of attention. I was there when American idiots voted down American Idiot and I think that's who still votes this down. Keep on giving thumbs down... idiots.
