TimKNov 18, 2004It is amazing it is the best song of Green Day I have ever heard. I can even play it on my electric guitar!

cindyPNov 15, 2004It's amazing. Normally I couldn't listen to an entire Green Day album from start to finish in one sitting. This one is different. They are on!

IainHNov 15, 2004The best album of 2004 beyond doubt. Only Morrsieey, The Libertines and The Ordinary Boys come close. Every song is magnificent.

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.
-
-
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.

bobbynNov 1, 2004Great album,cant take it off the player. winona k REM ha ha there new album is so shite its awfull.

JasonSOct 27, 2004Easily the best album of the year - I cant' stop listening to it. You can really hear the emotion in Billie Joe's voice, the desperation of the characters.

-
NickcooldaddyOct 26, 2004I was blown away by this album, it covers the whole range of moods from heavy punk to soft and slow relaxing music. They've hit the big one with American Idiot.

WinonaKOct 13, 2004Utter shite. do not listen to this crap. I love REM

-
MattGOct 12, 2004Tremendously solid both melodically and lyrically, it also puts forth a political message the young voters need to listen to.

[Anonymous]Oct 11, 2004Best Green Day album, the band finally reaching a level plateau of pop-punk prowess.

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.'

zackzOct 2, 2004This album is good but they are trying to keep popular so they are changing their music to whats popular NOW not in the 90's when the music was good and not good charlette
-
-
StevenIOct 2, 2004The Best Green Day Album to date, Billy Joe and the gang prove that it is possible to take multiple influences from other bands and still create a unique and catchy album. While some may dismiss this album as "messy," this couldn't be farther from the truth, as American Idiot smoothly tells its provocative story through addictively complex songs.

PunkyMcpunkerFunkypunkySep 25, 2004This album has made itself a special spot in my heart and I have been waiting for it for four years. For those who are looking for another masterpiece like "Dookie" might be a little disappointed, but I believe this is the most thought provoking Green Day album yet, you should go pick it up, I don't care who you are. I walk a lonely road!

DominicTSep 24, 2004Very good album, one of the best I ever listened. Buy it right now.

SteveMSep 24, 2004A big messy sprawl of power, melancholic sentiment, anger, confusion, love, rebellion. Fantastic stuff. Green Day's best album yet. Stunning.

-
PhillipRSep 24, 2004I was absolutely shocked and disgusted at how disappointing this album was, as this was recommended to me bya friend with normal good taste in music.
-
-
JustinS.Sep 22, 2004This album is a huge artistic leap for Green Day, in terms of lyrics, concept, and musical ambition. Their best album - yes, better than Dookie.

TrudiJSep 21, 2004Sorely disappointing. My friends made it out to be something it wasn't, that's the last time I take their word for it.
-
-
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.

Awards & Rankings

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.
