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.

bebAug 7, 2005Amazing album full of brilliant songs. I had actually not really heard of Green Day before this but i'm off to buy their older albums. Bye!

uberJan 5, 2007This is equal to Dookie at least. The concept is well thought out and delivered

ToddHFeb 25, 2007Awsome album that continues to be amazing even 2 1/2 years later. It will be a classic that will be refered to for many years to come.

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

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.
-
-
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.

TomP.May 5, 2008Honestly, I've barely even listened to this album, I just wanted to comment on how Jon C. may just be the most ignorant person to ever listen to a CD.

JackSMay 13, 2009All of the people below will regret the zero's you have given this album when, in twenty years time, it becomes one of the most influential albums in rock history.
-
-
AndreaPAug 4, 2009A well done record, some songs are awesome but one or two aren't so good. Sure one of the best album by Green Day.

MattGOct 12, 2004Tremendously solid both melodically and lyrically, it also puts forth a political message the young voters need to listen to.
-
-
z28blueNov 28, 2004Lyrical Genius! Catchy Tunes! And it all makes sense! Absolutely, hands down, the best album ive heard all year!
-
-
CourtlandCNov 4, 2004Songs 1-7 are the best seven songs in a row off of any album in the last ten years. The opening strains of guitar and first verse of "We are the Waiting" blow away anything else out there right now.
-
-
jesswOct 16, 2004yeah its good, i like it.
-
-
SebManNov 9, 2004I liked this one, it's got some good slow songs and good faster, catchy songs. "We are the Waiting" sucks shite, though.
-
-
AlexBOct 19, 2004One of the best albums ever! Jesus of Suburbia rocks! Green Day ROCKS!
-
-
gregwOct 20, 2004their Best since Dookie, which is saying something.its almost as perfect as that masterpiece. GO AND BUY IT NOW!!! GREN DAY!!!!!!!!

stevekOct 7, 2004The best Green Day album since Nimrod, and in my opinion one of the best albums ever made. Green Day has always been one of my favourite bands, and American Idiot rose them to #1 in my books. Highlights were 'Jesus of Seburbia' and 'Holiday.'
-
-
AnthonyOct 8, 2004O Man I just got the CD and it blew my mind!!!!! I agree with everything they say that Bush is a dumbass
-
-
SluSep 21, 2004This album is amazing, literary, schizophrenic, depressing, and a musical amalgamation of just about every style, but with the clear distinction of being Green Day. A masterpiece.
-
-
SebB.Jan 11, 2005I found this album to get boring after a while. My favorite songs are American Idiot and holiday. Boulevard just got lame after hearing it a million times on t.v. and on the radio. And no matter how hard you try and convince yourself that they're not, the 2 10 milute songs are WAY to long!
-
-
Lt.DrebinNov 10, 2005Their best album...and that's saying a lot.

EmilyO.Jan 15, 2005This is such an intelligent CD with real insights. The Greenday band has really grown up, which is quite visable in "American Idiot". It was well worth the $20 I paid for it!

RobFJan 30, 2005Great Album to listen from a different sound of Green Day. They did a great job doing this album about America and what has happen through the years in America. Alot of Green Day fans who are only into the punk of Green Day put Green Day had grown up a bit and change there sound and songwriting. Great Job Green Day.

JoshuaEMar 12, 2005holy crap this album is amazing. green days best
-
-
BENLMar 17, 2005Green Day's best. The only album I can listen to from start to end. Bush Bashers include American Idiot and Holiday (Holiday is better than AI). Boulevard is an extremly good song and any one who buys this cd will not be dissappointed.
-
-
dunnolostitMar 25, 2005a good album, compared to whats around today its fantastic. Greenday will definatly make an imprint in music history.
-

DavidLMar 28, 2005Just for the record, IGN gave this a 10/10
-

DanielNMar 29, 2005This album is their best yet. I loved Dookie and appreciate the far more mature lyrics and outstanding music from this album. I'm hooked!
-
-
angelabApr 10, 2005One of if not the best CD i have ever listened to. Every song is amazing and i could listen to it over and over again w/o getting bored or tired. i love all of Green Day's previous albums but this is by far the best and the most fun. My favorite track is number 10-Letterbomb.

sophiedApr 2, 2005i think that american idot is the best album released so far by green day.
-
-
meghancApr 26, 2005this cd was amazing, one of the best i've heard in a long time, its not the usually whiny pop-punk u get today. and like all the other green day albums i can sit through the whole thing with out wanting to skip songs or just plain turn it off
-
-
JamesH.Apr 3, 2005Holy crap...i got this cd after reading ign's review (perfect 10) and i listen to the whole album on a regular basis. Green Day is one of those bands who just consistantly get better and more mature. One of my favorite albums of all time

christianeoMay 27, 2005this album is such a really good one of them .. I love Green day!!!
-
-
AlexPMay 4, 2005undoubtedly the best band ever as far as music goes for me. i gave it a ten because it really appealed to my soul... it is for those with those of broken souls and have romantic passion... it is everything i ever wanted from a cd. I walk a lonely road...
-
-
BillieJoe'sLoverJun 17, 2005i think the album is one of the best..i had just started to get into green day right before the album came out but this c d really started me up w/green day i honestly love the new look they have... and they are one of the best bands i have ever seen! exohexoh billie joe is hott

FloPJun 26, 2005This is the best punk rock album which has ever been released!!!!!!
-
-
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!

-
-
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.

-
-
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

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.
