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 is represents a promising step forward. –Aidin Vaziri
Product 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.
