Away from the last two Rock Opera specific albums that Green Day produced, the American band always managed to produce very good albums without straying too far from they stood for. Dookie was very cool and its follow up of Insomniac a step up to the big league.

This is the first of three albums due out in the next few months and worries that the group that bought such excellent songs as Wake Me Up When September Ends, the phenomenal Jesus of Suberbia and 21 Guns, have taken on a project too far look founded and it is enough to make a stone heart weep and their detractors making even louder noises of derision.
