Green Day is my favorite band and I heard people talking about them at school. I went out the next day and bought International Superhits and it was horrible. I think their older music was pretty bad. I ordered American Idiot and I was blown away by it. My favorite songs are St. Jimmy, American Idiot, and She's a Rebel. I don't see the point of making 10-minute songs. Some of the songs get boring after a while though, like BOBD and WMUWSE. MOst of the songs really kick butt. Overall it is an awesome cd. I wouldn't listen to the other people who give it like 3 stars. A must by for any Green Day fan.:)Peace:)
