Los Secuestradores De Burros
Green Day's first and only concept album containing 5 chart-topping hits: the title track American Idiot, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Holiday, Wake Me Up When September Ends and Jesus Of Suburbia.
American Idiot tells the story of a young man (Jesus Of Suburbia) living in a time where media is bias and "redneck" political leaders run the show. JOS becomes frustrated with hislife and what's going on around him and he decides to hit the streets in search of a better life. After living on the streets for a while, he's feeling lonely and continuing to lose hope. He finally meets street-smart St Jimmy and a girl, Whatsername, whom he falls madly in love with. Things started to look up for JOS for a while. Times were good until Whatsername broke his heart and St Jimmycommited suicide. He decides that he hasn't found the better life he was searching for out on the streets and goes back home to find a job and conform to a normal way of life. Even after he returns home he thinks back to the times he spent on the streets and wonders what Whatsername is up to, while trying to forget.
American Idiot has recieved rave reviews and is considered by many to be GreenDay's masterpiece. It shows that there is no limit to what Green Day is capable of.
Shenanigans
This, on the one side new but on the other old album really classifies the meaning of its title. Shenanigans, as miscellaneous things or simply called 'gibberish' or 'nic-nacs' or, if you want me to continue, everyday's silly things, is made up of a collection of b-sides, previously unreleased songsand covers from the Ramones, Fang and The Kinks.
As its title says, as it's made of the songs which took place in different periods, everyone can find something suitable for themselves. From that point of view, you can furioulsy beg some TV station to recognize your talent by listening to 'I Want To Be On TV', you can cry while listening to 'On The Wagon' thinking of your hangovers or destroyyour room under the influence of 'Desensitized'. This album shows the growing up of Green Day members through songs 'cause you can also find some recent ones. To conclude it all: Shenanigans. That's what members of Green Day were up to when they made this album.
International Superhits
A year after an easy-like-a-sunday-morning album called 'Warning', Green Day needed a rest but also anotherdesert for their everlasting fans, they just couldn't stop giving another piece of that sweetness that you can't get enough of. But an urge to rest on the one and a plea from the fans on the other side can't quite go together. So the solution was in a compromise. Isn't that something that moves us along after all?!
Green Day guys put all the greatest songs together making the most wantedcompilation simply called International Superhits. The album contains 21 mega ultra extra super hits which don't allow you to just sit and calmly listen to them, you can't control yourself, you HAVE to jump and sing so loud, that loud that your windows have to tremble, being scared of breaking. Besides (let me call them evergreens) those well known songs, International Superhits also includes twopreviously unreleased songs, Maria and Poprocks & Coke.
Warning
After three years of barely mentioning Green Day, three years of trembling and wondering: Which cave are they hiding in?, they surprised us all. As the fans got used to head-banging while listening to Green Day songs, this album was a big shock to them. But it was a positive shock, wasn't it?!
Through their songs, Green Day guyshave spoken about every day's problems, about problems that were kept somewhere down, that were untouchable for people to speak out about them, all those problems that you could just whisper about being scared that they might cause some new ones.. Green Day guys broke the chains of reality and let those problems out. With Warning, Green Day proved to everyone that they can rock just as hard...
