I listened to this governmental/politically influenced cd via illegal downloading programs (thank god) because I was afraid that Green Day would disappoint me. Little did I know this album is amazing!! Oh wait never mind thats the opposite of how i felt. Their sappy new single Wake Me Up When September Ends has simple lyrics and simple guitars to try to have 12 year old girls go nuts. This cd belongs not on the top of everyone's cd collection, but in the bottom of everyone's trash can. Green Day used to pump out good solid punk music that related to people, and this September song doesn't even make any sense!! What is so bad about September?Theres just no feeling behind any of this. It's like they are just trying to appease the record labels and make millions of dollars, which they did with ease, i'm sure.Anyway, don't buy this cd unless you are a guy who wears eyeliner and/or girls pants. You are the only type of person who deserves to listen to music like this.
