Green Day - American Idiot | Album Review

[@sineadkearney1635]

Jesus of suburbia is honestly the greatest song i've ever heard. I just love the musicality and emotion of it and all the different styles.

[@dusthymn8187]

Im not even really a rock fan but just the second it kicks off i fall in love all over again

[@spicyrabbids]

The most underappreciated song of all time.

[@joeyporth6025]

Daanish Rashid nope most people who have listened to the album know it's the best on the album

[@spicyrabbids]

underappreciated song by non green day listeners*

[@DapuffStuff]

It's the Bohemian Rhapsody of Punk Rock.

[@jackg8893]

Green Day is a band that at least everyone recognizes a song. That's a pretty high accomplishment.

[@starkller919]

You gotta thanks Johnny test, the real classic here right?

[@fowlae4414]

The Beatles can say that too.

[@UnorthodoxIndividual]

@@starkller919 lmao I actually can't believe Johnny test got away with that theme song, i always liked the theme because it's just American idiot.

[@koythomas9715]

@@fowlae4414 Yeah, but the Beatles also have the generational advantage. Most grandparents, at least in my experience, are there to tell their kids and grandkids of the Beatles. Green Day can at most be passed down from parents. Both massive bands for different reasons and as such, cannot be compared.

[@jeffemerson60]

A nearly half-hour review of the album that got me into not just pop-punk and concept albums, but just music in general, by my favorite reviewer no less. Today Is a good day.

[@artvjon]

+jeff emerson Jeff, you're the man. I super appreciate that comment, and that you keep up that list of all my album reviews, always up to date I use to scan for stuff pretty often. Thanks for being such a big part of the community, still my favorite viewer dude (suck it Spin it!)

[@VinylScratchElementOfWubs]

Jesus Of Suburbia truly is straight gold. The video, the lyrics, THE INSTRUMENTAL. Every single aspect of this song is just beautiful, not a single flaw, I can't stress it enough how great it is. The video can perk me up any-day.

[@tvbnine793]

Everytime I hear Jesus of Suburbia those 9 minutes and 8 seconds go by so fast..

[@nritsch]

Boulevard of Broken Dreams was the song that introduced me to Green Day.

[@bethanytyson8464]

SAME! Love that song 😄

[@adityanarayandubey4080]

Actually, I first heard Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) but I didn't know who composed it. So, technically I too was introduced to Green Day by Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

[@tvbnine793]

Oh yeah me neither. But my DAD can't for the life of him remember the name of who I'm thinking about so he often calls her whatsername

[@Anuj11]

Whatsername is definitely the most underrated song in the album

Yes, bit I think it's on pair with Letterbomb and Give me Novacaine

[@alphadoge8639]

@@LucasNicolau-ys4kk whatsername isnt really overrated its very praised and i think it deserves that. i beleive letterbomb is more underrated because it is sooo good but nobody ever talks about it.

[@uraqtbb]

Honestly I'm not a fan of Green Day but American Idiot is one of my favorite albums ever

[@brittanybutlermusic]

Loved this! This record changed my life, too. Very similarly, I used to only listen to the radio or the "Now! That's What I Call Music" compilations, haha. But I heard "Boulevard" on the radio one day in 2004, and it caught my ear. My uncle let me borrow his copy of the album and my mind was blown. It inspired me to teach myself guitar and start writing my own material. I became instantly obsessed with them. Went out and got all of their other records. (I also went to Hot Topic and bought all of their merch, lol.) After about a year of listening to nothing but Green Day, they also inspired me to start looking for similar bands because I knew that the whole vibe and energy of that early 2000s "pop/punk/rock" genre was definitely what spoke to me. That's when I discovered Fall Out Boy one morning in '05, watching music videos on MTV in the morning before school. Panic! naturally followed in '05-'06 with Fever. And ever since then I haven't been able to "fall in love" with another band. They're my three. I have tattoos for all of them. But, Green Day will ALWAYS be number 1. (My Green Day tattoo is actually just a simple red star outlined in black, as a little tribute to this record and what it means to me) I just saw them at the House of Blues on Oct. 1st and ended up crying my eyes out during "Letterbomb" (my favorite) and "Jesus Of Suburbia." I kept telling myself "Enjoy this moment for 12-year-old You." ...and just lost it. So, yeah. This was awesome! And I think it's so funny how much I relate to your Green Day videos (as well as your FOB & Panic! stuff!)

[@bethanytyson8464]

Love how music can have such an impact on people's lives ☺️ especially green day!

[@bethanytyson8464]

Love panic too wish I'd found them in '05 tho fever in its hay day must've been so awesome! 😄

[@LoekTheKing]

Start listening to Nirvana! That's now my #1 which has overtaken Green Day, even though I still like Green Day.

[@Zlittlepenguin]

She said, "I can't take this place I'm leaving it behind." Well she said, "I can't take this town. I'm leaving you tonight." Best song on this album. Holy shit.

[@liamc3995]

The Little Penguin YASSSS

[@RenegadeNightmare]

This is my favourite Green Day album. Boulevard of Broken Dreams in the song that got me into music. Holiday's probably my favourite though.

[@tvbnine793]

I grew up in the 2000s, of course I've loved 21 guns and Boulevard of Broken Dreams ever since I was a kid but Holiday was my gateway song. I heard it over the radio my summer going into junior year and I remembered how awesome it was and it was thanks to Holiday I listened to other GD songs like American Idiot, Jesus of Suburbia, Wake me up when September ends, Basket Case, Good Riddance, etc.

[@MDE128]

This is not only my favorite Green Day album, it’s one of my all time favorite musical albums. I could listen to it every week.

[@inthefurnace]

Jon, I think this is your best review ever. You pretty much perfectly articulated what makes American Idiot so great, and as it's my favorite album of all time as well, I don't think I could ever explain it this well. Thanks for doing this, cheers to another 7 years dude

[@blendernoob64]

My 3rd favorite album of all time! Number 1 is Pink Floyd's The Wall, and 2 is Black Holes and Revelations by Muse

[@artvjon]

+blendernoob64 oooh nice choices

[@meagan4605]

The Wall is just 👏👏👏

[@wham1984]

The Wall is so good!

[@taspeteris]

If Green Day put "Outlaws" after "Homecoming" that would compliment coming home and remembering the crazy days and finally fit into an album

[@stuartthehuman5280]

Pēteris Blūms outlaws was made 12 years after AI

[@Trentcantdefend]

And anyway Whatsername is the best album finisher ever

[@stuartthehuman5280]

Tom Formstone I would say Walking Contradiction and F.O.D are better than Whatsername

[@purpleheadedhedgehog3821]

Whatsername is my favourite green day song it's starts of slow but then out of nowhere it straight up punches you in the face with emotion, it is probably one of my favourite songs of all time it's amazing Sorry if I sound like a bitch but that song means so much to me

[@Varun616]

Greatest album ever made.

I can reflect and relate all of your thoughts completely on this record. It came out when I was 6 and I remember buying it with my dad as soon as it was available. My favourite song of all time as well is Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Green Day have been my favourite band ever since, and this has been my favourite album ever since. I even got choked up just watching your review, especially when you almost broke down talking about Wake Me Up When September Ends. Thank you so much, and happy 7 years!

Jon, I probably never agreed more on one of your videos. You said everything about that album that could have been said and more. I was 9 when I first heard the record and knew Green Day since Warning, so I was already into their music thanks to my uncle but when I heard the songs from American Idiot...it just blew me away and still at the age of 21 I listen to this album over and over without getting bored. It definitely is the most listened record in my collection and one that I'll always be thankful for existing! Congrats to 7 years on KZbin and may the next 7 years be as amazing as these have been!

[@ViralRak]

This album holds a pretty special place in my heart as well. My mom is a big green day fan so I grew up with albums like Dookie but there was definitely an increase in love when this album dropped. My mom and I followed the pre release of this record and once it came out we both instantly loved it. It followed me throughout middle school (I used to listen to it every night before I went to bed) and even all these years later I do still love it. I can see why you'd call this your favorite album ever Jon especially if it holds so much personal significance to you. Is it mine? No but I definitely love a lot of it and think it holds up undeniably well. Fantastic review my dude

Thanks for this review. I love this album! (Though MCR's Black Parade is my favorite) i love your passion for Green Day and rock in general. I'm sorry to hear that you grew up in an environment very unaccepting of this music. I was lucky, I grew up in the 70s, 80s listening to my older brother's rock albums which are now classic rock, then listening to grunge in the 90s, a great decade for rock fans. I always had access to great music even though we didn't have youtube or spotify back then.

[@emperorcupcake]

I've been a fan of Green Day since Dookie came out in the 90s, and I LOVE this album front to back. Really enjoyed this detailed review.

Jesus of Suburbia is my favorite song of all time. ‘Give me Novocain’ is also amazing. Those two songs are helping me through a rejection that has hurt me so much. She was my everything, but she drenched my heart in gasoline and lit it. I love her, but she punched me in the face with a cold hard rejection that hurt me more than the rejection itself, but how it makes me realize what all these years of work have built up to a raging destruction of my heart. This whole album just channels my emotions so well. I love it so much. I will love this album forever.

This is a great video. The love of American Idiot is obvious. Going to see Green Day during the American Idiot tour was my first concert, so I definitely understand the love. It was awesome to see them perform it live, too. :) Given that you love American Idiot, have you ever tried listening to Quadrophenia by The Who? Billie Joe Armstrong has name dropped them as a huge influence on his own writing (St. Jimmy was named after the Jimmy in Quadrophenia). You may like that album too.

I agree completely. In my humble opinion, is the greatest album,and one of the best albums that I've ever heard with Californication by the RCP, and Meteora, by Linkin park. I was doing a review in my music school, and I have to do a conference related with how American Idiot was studied (harmonically, by the structure, and so on), and it undoubtedly is a masterpiece.

[@Titan-gs6cf]

Green Day was probably the first rock band of any variation I listened to and I'm realizing now that all of those songs I listened to individually are the songs of American Idiot.

This album is my favorite album of all time. The story is about being lost and I have definitely gone through those thoughts many, many times. However, the songs definitely stand on their own especially Wake me up when september ends. Every time I listen to that song, I start to tear up especially when I see it live. Music is definitely the best way to convey your feelings and thoughts to the world and Green Day proves it here.

[@JuChanable]

hey, it really touched me when you started to get emotional about wake me up when september ends, this song is so powerful I understand you. that is not my favorite album by green day but I like it a lot and you've helped me understanding more. now I think I'm going to listen to it again, especially the track letterbomb that I never reallu understood... so thank you for this incredible review, you're awesome, have a great day. :)

Loved you review man. If you do a redemption review for The Black Parade, can you do the same thing you did here? Like a track by track review? That would be amazing. Two of my favourite albums reviewed by one of my favourite youtubers!

Great review Jon! I've only known for only two years, but you're definitely still going strong ever since. Excited to see what the future brings us from ARTV.

WMUWSE gives me goosebumps. So do several other Green Day songs

[@bethanytyson8464]

Me too the lyrics are emotional and whenever I listen I feel connected to it so good!

[@LucasAlmeida-dz5xh]

Jesus of Suburbia might be my favorite song ever

[@saladhands1127]

Great review the album that introduced me to Green Day. I really appreciate all the work you put into this synopsis.

This is awesome. American Idiot is my favorite album of all time, and the album I grew up to. It's been there for me with tracks like Jesus of Suburbia and We Are the Waiting whenever I was in need of some assurance that I wasn't the only one feeling lost in the world, and it holds a really special place in my heart. Congratulations on 7 years by the way, I loved this video and a lot of your others as well :)

Happy 7th anniversary of your channel!

One of the first reviews that I 100% agree with. This album was pretty much my musical awakening, and one of my favorite albums of all time, definitely a strong 10,000,000/5.

[@FallOutJosie]

this album introduced me to music. as a little 4 year old, wake me up when september ends was my favorite song. to this day it's still one of my favorites. this album means so fucking much to me and i can't thank green day enough for introducing me to music. as difficult as it is to choose, my favorite songs on this record are holiday, are we the waiting, jesus of suburbia (particularly dearly beloved), give me novocaine, she's a rebel, homecoming, and whatsername.

Just like you ARTV this was my first album that I listened to and American Idiot was the first song I listened to and when I saw my mom walk in to my room back when I was in highschool showing me she found American Idiot at a Goodwill I treasure that memory a lot not only because of the album but my mom actually taking the time to get something for my favorite band
