Green Day
American Idiot
back in stock at a cheap price for its first new set of music since 2000's 'warning' green day tears up the blueprint and comes up with something unexpected a punk rock concept album built around elaborate melodies odd tempo changes and a collection of songs that freely reference classic rock warhorses like the beatles and pink floyd 'she's a rebel' and 'st jimmy' might sound like vintage green day but the rest of the disc finds the northern california trio trying on a variety of different guises 'boulevard of broken dreams' is a clichestrewn foo fightersstyle power ballad 'extraordinary girl' floats on indian strings and the hushed 'wake me up when september ends' wouldn't sound entirely out of place on a jessica simpson record
