CD REVIEW: Green Day “iDOS!”

Green Day “iDOS!”

                Halfway through the new Green Day albums and my only thought is whether or not I should go back and review all of the Green Day that came before this.   Obviously everything prior to and including “Insomniac” would either be “essential” or “classic” versus just your normal review. 

                In any event, this album begins with a slower song that is what happens when you mic an electric guitar instead of plugging it into an amp.   From there, we go into a song called “Fuck Time”, which is not so much about Public Enemy’s “Fuck the Police” but more awkwardly like Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On”.  

                After that, the punk rock songs go somewhere between “Insomniac” and “Nimrod”, though I do vaguely hear some “Dookie” bits in here, but not a lot.    This is just kind of your prototypical punk rock album so let’s hope the next one is better.
