I've been thinking about American Idiot, the just-off-Broadway show Jennifer and I saw in NY. I think I said I liked it, but played it for comedy in a disparaging way. I also said something kinda negative about Green Day. So I got the album. I take it all back. Kinda understanding why some of my friends really like the band. No idea what their other albums are like, but American Idiot is just what I need right now.
Well that and the playlist I've been fine-tuning for about six months. And John Lee Hooker.

Date: 2010-09-25 08:01 am (UTC)American Idiot is about the only Green Day I like, or can listen too,
Prior to that, I really hated them. Being one of the biggest band on the planets didn't help matters.
It's just one of those perfectly crafted albums.
The live DVD is excellent.
EMO! :P
