Green Day's "American Idiot" ROCKS

I bought this CD last week - I can't stop listening to it. Every song rocks.

5. great album IMO

4. I never bought a Green Day album before "American Idiot"...

but I agree, it is mighty fab.

Although, I still think the new Interpol album "ANTICS" is better, but that's just me, i can't resist the dark hypnotic rock :P

8. Interpol...

9. I think it's better in some ways...

10. I just got it today too...

The first one took forever to sink into me. This will be similar.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
Don't want a nation that under the new media.
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mindfuck America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Convincing them to walk you.

Well maybe I'm the faggot America.
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda.
Now everybody do the propaganda.
And sing along in the age of paranoia.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Convincing them to walk you.

Don't wanna be an American idiot.
One nation controlled by the media.
Information nation of hysteria.
It's going out to idiot America.

Welcome to a new kind of tension.
All across the alien nation.
Everything isn't meant to be okay.
Television dreams of tomorrow.
We're not the ones who're meant to follow.
Convincing them to walk you.

12. I heard it's like a great rock opera, true?

[Ladyhawk]

13. I've never listened to punk rock until this CD...and I'm addicted to it.

I can't stop listening, either. "Jesus of Suburbia" pounds in my head when I try to go to sleep. That can't be good... :)

[Cozmosis]

14. It is indeed, their best CD in a long time

I can't stop listening!

15. F--- Green day

I hate cheap, commercialized pop punk wannabes.

And I am sick of people assuming that Americans are stupid. Most of the people I know are well educated and/or street smart or talented.
I think it is ridiculous to think that Europeans or Japanese are so much smarter than us. There are just as many asshats over there.
I hate when people bash the average people. Most are a lot smarter than many people will give them credit for and decent, hardworking folk. It is this condescending 'American idiot' nonsense that turns off liberals who do not realize how liberal they are and vote GOP because the GOP doesn't call America an idiot nation.
