Availability: | In stock |
Green Day's seventh studio album, American Idiot was released in September 2004 and has since sold over 23 million copies worldwide, including 9 million in the US. The album is a punk rock opera masterpiece that won the Best Rock Album at the 2005 Grammy Awards©. Five hit singles were released from the album: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "Holiday," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Jesus of Suburbia," and the title track, "American Idiot." The band's first original album since 2000's Warning, the Rob Cavallo produced release is a punk-rock concept album built around elaborate melodies, odd tempo changes, and a collection of songs that freely reference classic rocks warhorses. Scathing and controversial, yet self-effacing and epic, American Idiot finds the biggest, most successful punk band in the world at their most ambitious. Hands down one of the best releases of the decade!
