MelissaBMar 16, 2008It honestly completely changed the way I felt about music. The first album I've ever completely fallen in love with -- it opened so many doors to different bands for me and, almost 4 years on, 'Whatsername' still blows my mind every time I listen.

GavinBFeb 23, 2008After listening to this album twice I heard it playing in a second hand clothes store in Camden and found I could sing along to every track. Speaks for itself really. Occasionally cringeworthy lyrics fail to sabotage an incredibly punchy album of hookladen songs delivered with incredible energy.

DaleFDec 26, 20073 years after the release of this CD and it's still in my player constantly. Incredible CD.

DesmondH.Dec 2, 2007If you think they are anti-America, you are an idiot. GD are anti-war, idiots.

BernSJul 15, 2007I'm normally annoyed by the user votes being averaged out from some people voting 0 and the rest 10, but this is one of my favourite albums ever, so... Apparently it's not punk, but that means nothing to the likes of me. It's all very accessible pop-rock, and just plain pleasant to listen to. It's not often I can say that I love 11 songs out of 13.

KeilaTJul 9, 2007OK so this is like 4 yrs after Aerican Idiot was released but I still adore this album with every fragment of my teenaged soul. I wish that everyone could comprehend the brilliance and underhanded eloquence of this organized rave! Green Day is impeccable hands down.

-
andievJul 2, 2007this album literally rocks. i love his angry lyrics and the way joe picks at political matters, american idiot was the best song on the album, and also holiday, it just makes you wanna snarl at the government and scream, "cafeteria food freakin sucks!!!" okay, well, i was just getting carried away...but anyway, this album kicks ass

maplejetMay 25, 2007Don't get me wrong. This isn't a bad album, but it ain't GD's greatest. Their previous albums are better and should be given a listen. As for GD haters, go listen to you generic Led Zeppelin and be a poser

SamIDec 13, 2006Hands down my favorite album of 2004. The songs don't really work alone, but as a whole the album is magnificent. A great example of how an album *should* be made, the sum being greater than its parts.

-
-
DylanJul 17, 2006I give it a nine, the songs are very creative and talk about the real world, but 10 minute songs that sometimes go on and on about the same thing dragged the score down. Songs like "Jesus of Suburbia" and "Home Coming" are one of their longer songs,though they do give a message about America today. I give "American Idiot" a great 9 out of 10

KonalDJan 23, 2006Awsome , this is Green Day's best album to date.It's a stunning experience to listen to these meaningful songs.
-
-
AshDJan 22, 2006I've never been into punk music but when I heard 'Boulevard of Broken dreams', I was just drawn in so much by Green Day. I love this album and all the songs sound completely different from eachother and are so unique that you will love every single song off it for different reasons. Definitely the best album of the year.

JonGDec 28, 2005Honestly i think this is a good album, but. The songs kinda get old after awhile and it gets to the point where you just don't wanna listen to it anymore. But all in all this is a pretty good album, and i suggest if you don't have it to go get it because their always crankin out new hits from the album.
-
-
RickHDec 23, 2005American Idiot really holds together and strikes a chord with anyone who was raised and conditioned to what we should believe and then later finding out that we nee to follow our own path, both the postive side as well as the destuctive side, in order to become who we really are.
-
-
GreendayRocksDec 23, 2005I'd personally take on anyone who say's greenday is boring or annoying. This album is easily their 1st to 3rd best album. Every song has it's own brilliance. Also this album is very political. From boulevard of broken dreams to american idiot to jesus of suberbia this album stoops nowhere below brilliance. Two words 'Get IT'!

SamDOct 2, 2005Wow. And I thought Dookie wasd tops. Music is finally edgy as opposed to grungy and the lyrics are AMAZING plus its fun to listen to the story line. love whatsername and letterbomb, while st. jimmy pushes the limits between punk and pop a little far lost a little bit of the green day charm with the edgy music, though... still awesome!
-
-
EliYoudonSep 30, 2005This is a good album overall, but it isn't ALL GOOD. Wake Me Up When September Ends is basically the one I'm not crazy about. Otherwise though, it's good stuff, if just a tad lengthy.

EdCAug 5, 2005While not an insanely complex album, American Idiot is a an excellent and creative album. It shows that Green Day finally grew up.

NunyoBJul 19, 2005I have always loved Green Day, but this album simply blew my mind! Every song on this album is different and great. It has the perfect mix of politics and punk-riffs. Anybody who says Green Day sucks, has never heard any REAL music before in their lives. This is what an album should be. This is the standard. This is perfection!

It is exactly what the band needs to boost itself to the next level of pop-punk prowess.
-
There's still plenty of spunk in to be found in this Sgt. Pepper-lite.
-
Not only does it contain Green Day’s finest songs (and choruses) to date... but it also scratches at the surface of political dissatisfaction with nails sharp enough to leave a nasty scar.
