american idiot 

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

American Idiot is a good album. Sure, not Green Day's best, but they're talking about important issues and not just writing about the same blah blah blah most bands sing about. They've grown up! They have a right to create music about whatever they want. Green Day rocks! And damn, Billie Joe is HOT!
Green Day is an amazing band, with great song writing skills, a hot lead singer with a hot voice and cool political views.

American Idiot 

2004 Album release from "Green Day," the influential punk/alternative rock band. The concept is a rock opera following the lives of youth in a world they portray as media dominated and where they have no voice.
American Idiot is the only album this year where every single song is great.

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.
