Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

I don't like Green Day. Too soft.

I basically agree.

I just don't like the band.

"Do you want to an American Idiot!?" That's one line from that album song. It's okay and it sold many many copies worldwide.

Green Day = worst band ever
American Idiot = worst song ever
Punk = Worst genre of music ever. Actually, its probably tied with rap and death medal.

My opinion of course.

I didn't want to be an American Idiot, so I didn't buy the album.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Personally I loved the CD. But I also like Greenday, which apparently means that I have an IQ of 3.

Actually my major problem with Greenday is how they changed there image. They used to be California Skater Band style... but then when hardcore punk/goth edge became the style, they changed their looks and started wearing black and eyeliner.

It kinda ticked me off.

But, It is a good CD. They're soft, but a good soft. They have a nice sound. You should buy it, I did once I got over the poser-ness.

I bought it... and I'm more a Tool guy. Tool, they are not.

Of course, Toby, Brad Paisly, Gretchen Wilson, Martina... they're still pretty high up there

I'd recomend you pick up led zeppelin IV.
Or if your after one of them new fangled albums, try contraband from velvet revolver.

if you dont like punk why did you come to this thread?

So what you're saying is, you only want feedback from people who would like the CD you are asking about. You will therefore get only positive feedback and will be further pressured to buy the CD that you subconsciously want to buy. Don't let your subconscious mind control you. It causes depression. I've been there...

...unless you already bought the CD in question and don't want people to know you did until you know that they like it so your subconscious mind will think you will better fit in with society which for some reason is on everybodys "To Do List" even though they constantly complain about how often society ruins their lives. Or maybe I'm just over evaluating this.... Am I? Am I over evaluating this? Or is everybody else just under evaluating it? Is it really me who is crazy, or is it everybody else? Or maybe nobody is crazy and I'm posting this just to get attention because the only way I can is by posting stupid stuff like this. But if that is the case, would I draw attention to that fact? Makes you think.... Or does it.... Just because it makes me think doesn't neccesarily mean that it makes you think. There is probably a lesson to be learned here... crap. I thought I had it there for a second.

I don't really know. I used to love Greenday's old stuff (ie Nimrod, Dookie), but like the guy said, [color=yellow]I can't stand it when bands let politics control their music[/color], and it's obvious thats what fuels this CD. It really sucks since punk is my favorite music, but some of it's such left wing babble that I can barely stand listening to it.


Does this guy even know what punk is and how it started. Punk has always had heavy political messages from the beginnings. Go listen to the Ramones, Sex Pistols, Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys, and the list goes on and on. This guy says that punk is his favorite music but yet had no knowledge of what it is or what it was all about. He doesn't like punk he likes these watered down bands that MTV spoonfeeds us and calls punk. To say that any band shouldn't talk about politics is bad enough but to say that he doesn't like a punk band because of a political message is just plain ignorant. You sir are indeed an American Idiot.

I've listened to Green Day since I was wee lad and have enjoyed a lot of their music, but lately I've forgotten about them so I haven't really had the chance to listen to their latest CD. The song American Idiot hasn't impressed me but the reviews say that the song doesn't do the rest of the CD any justice.
