While you can’t really call the album musical genius, I think you take it a step too far and call it fucking lame. American Idiot was one of the first albums I loved, back when I was into pop rock, and back then it was awesome.
I find this highly ironic, that my first comment on this site is on this article, and I’m wearing my Green Day shirt for the first time since like 2 years ago, and that my username is unintentionally a Green Day album.
