Really? I was so dissapointed when it came out... It has my favorite Green Day song (Armatage Shanks), but apart from that I don't think it's really good...
A sugarcoated Pink Floyd with less expierimentally courage and more pop-friendliness..
who cares if they're punk or not. It's about the music
i second that. and American Idiot sucked ass as a "protest" song. protest my ass. just a great way to cash in
