a.) a slightly below mediocre album by former-punk band green day. yes, they sold out. but what the hell would've happened if the sex pistols had been around for almost two decades? think about it.

b.) anybody who thinks american idiot is green day's only album, or green day's best album, usually a teenaged girl who makes out with a poster of a certain married man (Billie cough cough) every night. fucktards...go ask your daddy for money to buy good green day (i.e.: smooth, kerplunk, dookie, insomniac). or mow a lawn or something. just stfu.

an album that has been mistakingly compared to the who's "tommy" album. yes, the songs combined do tell a story, just like "tommy," but in no way is it as good as tommy or even the worst album the who could come up with. green day is a fake-punk band and people think that they are punk for listening to green day and skateboarding. that is 100% incorrect. spiking your hair, cutting your wrists, and shopping at hot topic does not make you punk, neither does listening to american idiot.
educated person: do you know who the first punk band was?

emo/fake punk: totally green day man! either them or my chemical romance? or is it blink 182?

educated person: you need to be shot.

A boring album form a generic MTV pop-punk band. It's really is a shame that so many people hail this album for being ground breaking and thought provoking. Amazing a band speaks out against Bush during a time when it is basiacally a fad to hate him. Thirty years ago real punk bands were speaking out against the government, long before punk was sold on wristband at hot topic.
Greenday was an ok band but this album was pure shit

16. American Idiot

Yet another record people love to hate simply because it breaks rank from a bands usual musical direction. Also associated with the "Liberal Media Bias", along with Micheal Moore films, any TV stations minus Fox News, and other scapegoats for peoples mindless hate.

"OMG American Idiot SuX! I don't have the attention span for a nine minute songs! Better go listen to New Found Glory before my head asplodes!"

a once great band who is now overrated. american idiot is hailed a politically-charged "rock opera". as optimistic as i am about the return of pop music to something deeper, more intelligent and controversial, green day has made a commendable effort, but fallen short. purely musically speaking, american idiot is mediocre. a couple decent songs, but interwoven with a tired theme. it seems the california garage band has taken themselves too seriously. rock and roll has always been an outlet for protest, but the message is misguided when it is intended for twelve year olds who only listen to green day for punk rawk street cred.
a valiant effort, delivered to a nescient audiance.

To respond on frog eater (french) that i am, the american language would never have existed without France and Germany. 70 % of english came directly from french and 20% from German. La Fayette a French given to USA their liberty against England. We french sold to you Louissiana that in that period represented half of modern USA. When USA came to help us in 1917, the war was almost finished and we built and offered to you the statue of liberty. To finish, if you think that you saved our asses in 1945, you killed more french dropping bombs than you killed german and Russian destroyed 80% of german army that you would never be able to beat by yourself. Don't be proud of yourselves even USA constitution comes from french writers as Tocqueville and all your technology has been bought with dollars to european scientists for most of it. So more respect or one day frog eaters that win more than 2000 battles will take back our statue of liberty and kick your pretentious asses.............
