While it's no Dookie, American Idiot is pretty friggin good - definitely Green Day's 2nd best album. There are several great singles here, which partly made up the soundtrack to my senior year of high school. I think the only things that kept me from becoming more than a casual Green Day fan, is that a lot of their songs sound really similar, and Billie Joe occasionally includes lyrics that sound like they were written by an emo middle-schooler. Still, his vocals & the trio's musical chemistry cannot be denied.

1) Wake Me Up When September Ends - In the 2nd verse, when the full guitar riff & drum groove come in for the first time - that's probably the best moment on the album. I had a pretty rough time towards the end of this September, and was thinking about this song a lot.
2) Whatsername - I hadn't heard this one before but damn
3) American Idiot - I think I might like Canadian Idiot better...
4) Holiday
5) Boulevard of Broken Dreams
6) She's a Rebel
7) Give Me Novocaine
8) St Jimmy
9) Letterbomb - Well the opening lyrics didn't have to be so ACCURATE geez
10) Extraordinary Girl
11) Jesus of Suburbia
12) Homecoming - Well that was long. Lol the saxophone.
13) Are We the Waiting
