I picked this up today after avoiding it like the plague for 2 months because...well, it's fucking Green Day. But I was at CD World picking up some DVD's and they had this big-ass display and I've heard all kinds of good things so I figured why not, how bad can it be?
The verdict: this rocks! Really, really great fucking album. I'm actually shocked how good it is. They've moved away from the bullshit pop-punk sound and made what's basically a punk-rock-opera. It's surprisingly complex, with lots of signature changes and long songs.
Give it a listen, trust me. I have a new respect for a band that I've written off for years as basically talentless hacks. They aren't.
