Well done then haha

What bothers me about it is them using it as an "easy way back" to the kid-like punk feeling of Kerplunk and Dookie, y'know? As if that makes up for the complete and utter lack of it elsewhere in their music.

I'm also very partial to Insomniac. Extremely underrated and underlooked album. Dookie shadows that album massively - in terms of sound and commercialism.

I agree with what you said though.

I've always thought their biggest sleeper was "Warning". Totally great album that I revisit far more than Dookie. I hit the singles from Dookie but the rest of the album is just alright with me. I should check out Insomniac again.

The hits off Nimrod were great too, though less popular commercially.

I know people that get that feeling about Warning. I don't. I think it's a really dim and boring album. It's good and I respect the change of sound that Green Day produced, but it's not for me.

I used to hate Nimrod but after many listens, it grew on me.

Walking Contradiction was the first instance of me thinking I was listening to "cool" music because I was listening to Green Day.

I was very young. Hahaha

That happened when American Idiot was released. That's why I'm ashamed to say I became a Green Day fan during that album.

Kids dressing like emos... pfft. Green Day weren't even emo!

I had gotten International Superhits just the year before American Idiot came out, so I was pretty familiar and played the part of the asshole hipster that was like "Oh your first Green Day song is Boulevard of Broken Dreams? COOL."

Ashamed to say it but its true.

That is my favorite Green Day album, honestly.

Don't worry, I was on the opposite end of it all. I slagged the emo kids. I liked the music just hated the people involved in emo. But Green Day were not emo!
