Green Day has come a long way since their earlier years of basic punk music. It’s never been particularly easy to pigeon-hole this band and to make sure that we can understand them. The band is talented and they have written some of the most interesting music in the rock world in the last decade or so. Their album, American Idiot, has been well liked both in the US and in other countries and their newest album is also very good. It has many songs in that same vein, with songs about life in the suburbs and selling out in one’s life. They are trying to fashion themselves as “real artists”. It’s such a fun time to see what these people are writing now and their current concert tour has proven that they still connect with young listeners as they always did. Good job guys.
