Green Day.. Green Day..

Y'know, American Idiot really isn't too bad of an album. It's catchy here and there, I'll give it that. But it isn't too good of an album, either, and is missing a certain element I can't touch upon that made their previous albums good (well.. Warning excluded, which went full speed ahead to Uninteresting City).

In fact, I would say American Idiot is part of an elaborate plot by Billie Joe Armstrong to get his old self plastered all over the media. Step 1: Create simplistic and catchy music which the Big Four record labels will successfully cram down anybody's throat. Step 2: ??? Step 3: Billie Joe's stupid makeup-coated face is everywhere. TV, the internet, magazines, everything... you can't go anywhere without seeing something about the new and super-spectacular Green Day, and you especially can't miss Billie Joe Armstrong, making that same stupid facial expression that says, "Like, whoa dude. I just earned enough money to coat my toilet in diamonds."

I just want to punch him in the face.
