Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - "...Hugely likeable, terribly noisy and cute, as well as being jammed with proper pop songs, there remains nothing wrong with Green Day...", 6 out of 10 - "...Ventures a Kurt Weill-style story-song, Beatles harmonica, even the riff from Petula Clark's 'Downtown'....Armstrong is so earnestly good-hearted, so generally inclined toward the inner misfit...you can't help cheering him on...", 3 stars out of 5 - "...The once-giddy melodies now settle for midtempo jangle or novelty....the best tune picks up where 1997s 'Good Riddance' left off....Green Day as the new Bread - who knew?", "...They draw non-punk influences to their sound while hanging tight to their melodic Midas touch...", 4 out of 5 - "...A good little record....further refining the folk-punk they introduced 2 years ago...", "...May not only be the most beautiful Green Day LP but also the bravest....working with a sense of maturity they have only begun to express...", 3.5 Stars Out of 5-"...This Sort of Music Used to Be Called New Wave in the Late Seventies...", Included in Rolling Stone's "Top 50 Albums of 2000"., "...The sound of 3 men growing old far too gracefully....the tracks stroll along at a worryingly sedate pace, barely breaking a sweat....Like punk never happened. Again."
