Artist:	Green Day

Description:	The Berkley punk rock trio's follow up to 2000's 'Warning' album. Whereas 'Warning' was the band trying out a more acoustic led introverted approach, 'American Idiot' is a return to the Green Day sound of the early '90s - fast, vitriolic punk rock. The album also includes a deviation from form in the shape of the 9 minute long, five part 'Jesus Of Surburbia'.

Publisher:	Reprise

Review:	Rolling Stone (p.186) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "On AMERICAN IDIOT, the thirteen tracks segue together, expanding into piano balladry and acoustic country shuffle....Green Day have found a way to hit their thirties without either betraying their original spirit or falling on their faces." Mojo (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[I]n AMERICAN IDIOT, they've recorded what could be their masterpiece, a 13-song, hour-long set that's both ambitious and expertly original." Uncut (p.119) - 3 stars out of 5 - "The Berkeley trio's upbeat poppy punk - equally indebted to The Kinks as The Ramones - shows no signs of fatigue, but has now been put to blatantly political use.", Kerrang (09/10/06, p.48) - 4 (out of 5) - "The most ambitious punk album since The Clash's Sandinista."
