Is it any good? My radio station was playing almost the whole cd, but I turned it off not knowing what it was. I was thinking about getting it, but I can't really decide if it's worth my money, worth having someone burn for me, or not worth ****. Any opinions on it?

I think it's a great CD/album (or whatever you want to call it). But, of course, this is coming from a huge Green Day fan too. It's a different sound from say Kerplunk or Dookie. I would say give it a try. And hey, if you don't like it, you can always trade it somewhere.

Greenday rock! Certain Americans are idiots. Mentioning no names.

yeah i like american idiot and im sure theres others id have it burned or buy it

Kerry right? :)

This album is well worth the buy. A very exellent comeback by Greenday indeed! :clap:

I'm a Bush fan so I don't like the very political overtones (same with the new Rise Against cd - terrible), but its not too bad. I reccomend having it burned for you or something like that. I wouldn't spend my money on it though.

how in the world could you be a fan of bush?

I hate how everyone is going crazy over the new Green day cd! I mean it's great for the band and all, but now stupid ****ing people who couldn't name three green day songs before this are buying the cd. It pisses me off. I mean I love G.D. but now the new CD is attracking horrible publicity.

My first CD (not first greenday but first cd) was insomniac. I got it when i was like 7 or 8 or something haha... i guess it was pretty new when i got it like 9 years ago maybe... sound right? well anyways i went on to buy their older cds shortly after and really liekd the older punk sound that they had when they sounded more like a garage band. When i was that young i didnt really understand a lot of songs obviously but it was just the sound of the music i liked. I guess the real turning point for me was when nimrod came out.... i didnt like where their sound was going and the song on the cd i really hated and loathed was good riddance.... and then it ended up getting really popular and i was like WTF. that was their last cd that i bought and the last one i plan on getting. When they became mainstream i didnt like it at first becuase lets face it..... no one wants their favorite punk band to become mainstream on mtv and with high school sheep.... but then i realized how dumb that mentality was. honestly.... does other people likeing the same thing as u really lessen the experience for you? It doesnt change music that has already been made. I do feel kinda like green day sold out..... they changed their whole sound and stuff... but it may not have been selling out. Maybe they just did it cause they were kids and now are adults and just matured and their sound/lyrics evolved also...

for whatever reason and for whatever my post is worth for you... i dont think you should be mad that u are no longer an "underground" listener... if its really that big of a deal to u go out and find some other band.... and lets face it green day may not have been pop icons... but they were far from underground ever since dookie. I really dont listen to a lot of green day from after dookie came out.... or at all anymore.... like someone else said further up the thread....

green day used to be good

I was listening to some old school GD last night...I love their older stuff

Greenday are one of the bands that I sort of grew up with. I was 11 or 12 when they started to blow up over here, and I remember seeing them on Top of the Pops (think MTV condensed into half an hour of cheesy pop with one good track smuggled in) and thinking they were great. That was a week before Dookie came out and I bought it pretty much straight after.

I think I just grew out of them really, they were a nice phase to have and they introduced me to some other decent bands, but I'm not in a rush to go out and buy the new record.

I think it's one of Greenday's best albums. Best come back that any band could wish for. I can't wait to go see them again in February! YEEEEEY!!

hehhahaha..h.ahah..aahhhhhh

i need to stop coming in here *dies*

I liked a few songs of the cd ...
but they're cool .. I think you should buy it ! :D

This album is amazing. Jesus of Surburbia is nothing short of an epic. Punk Opera if you will! Letterbomb (Track 10) is my favourite track on it, and there are great songs including another 9 minute epic called Homecoming. Theres also Saint Jimmy, Shes A Rebel, Give Me Novacaine and a great sentiment to Billy-Joe's father - Wake Me Up When September Ends. Fooking Graight!

All Americans are idiots. The fact that you children are on a 'punk' forum disscussing Greenday shows you people know nothing. Anyone with any knowledge of music knows they are just another punk pop band whos music is for 13 year olds. What do people in America know about punk anyway. When people on this side of the world were listening to punk music you people were listening to REO Speedwagon, need I say more.

Funny how you stereotype all americans into liking greenday ignorant bitch. You need to learn to be open minded and listen to more than one persons views retard...GOD I HATE IGNORANT PEOPLE!

I sincerely hope you're no more than 10 years old, otherwise it's pretty pathetic that you haven't matured any more.

I`d like to comment on that..but like a certain politician recently said...we`re old europe... :banghead:

i agree with devalera, you guys are really *** and should be ashamed of yourselves for mentioning green day in a punk forum. and can you blame devalera for thinking all americans are idiots? look at our leader. i dont even want to diss on bush, thats like booing the special olympics.
