Editorial Review:
Album Description:
The first original album since 2000 from modern rock superheroes Green Day, American Idiot is one of the most anticipated and controversial albums of the year. Scathing yet self-effacing as it tells the tale of Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong, American Idiot is the punk rock epic. 'A bold, polished punk opera.' (Entertainment Weekly) 'They're the biggest, most successful, punk band the world has ever seen. What's more, Green Day's next album may well be their masterpiece.' (Kerrang!)
Amazon.com:
For its first new set of music since 2000's Warning, Green Day tears up the blueprint and comes up with something unexpected: a punk rock concept album built around elaborate melodies, odd tempo changes, and a collection of songs that freely reference classic rock warhorses like the Beatles and Pink Floyd. 'She's a Rebel' and 'St. Jimmy' might sound like vintage Green Day, but the rest of the disc finds the Northern California trio trying on a variety of different guises: 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' is a cliché-strewn Foo Fighters-style power ballad; 'Extraordinary Girl' floats on Indian strings; and the hushed 'Wake Me Up When September Ends' wouldn't sound entirely out of place on a Jessica Simpson record. It doesn't always work. 'Dearly Beloved' eerily resembles the Alarm's '68 Guns,' while the title track eerily resembles something Green Day has already done far too many times. But, overall, American Idiot represents a promising step forward. --Aidin Vaziri

Rating:  - Idiotic
An album by Green Day entitled american idiot for idiot americans. That about sums it up.
Rating:  - True punk!
Who needs those lame Sex Pistol albums like "London Calling", that Ramones junk and Adicts garbage? We've got true punk right here and it's called "American Idiot" by Green Day!
Rating: - My favorite CD
Solid from first note to the last! Best GD yet. If you don't have this, you should!!!
Rating: - One of the greatest albums I've heard in a long time
I was never a Green Day fan growing up, but gave this an open listen and I was blown away.
It's so hard to put into words how amazing this album is.
Rating: - Best Green Day CD.
I have heard all the songs on Insomniac and Dookie and loved them.When I got this I was expecting kind of the same music but got totaly different and I like it.They kinda got away from their punk roots but that's fine by me.I love all the songs on here.The only song that I could live without was Rock and Roll Girlfriend segment on Homecoming.My personal favorite song on the album was either Holiday or Saint Jimmy.The lyrics are sometimes hard to understand because of his accent but you can always ...
