		These are just the clearest touchstones for American Idiot, but reducing the album to its influences gives the inaccurate impression that this is no more than a patchwork quilt of familiar sounds, when it's an idiosyncratic, visionary work in its own right.
		And one of the truly startling things about American Idiot is how the increased musicality of the band is matched by Armstrong's incisive, cutting lyrics, which effectively convey the paranoia and fear of living in American in days after 9/11, but also veer into moving, intimate small-scale character sketches.

		I'm Australian and everytime I hear this song I just want to thank Green Day for speaking their minds against one of the most (if not THE most) powerful nations and governments in the world.
		This is an excellent song and Green Day is one of the dozens if not hundreds of artists stating their mind.

	Green Day - American Idiot \| Review \| - PlanetWisdom.com
		“American Idiot” the single, was released August 12 at number 4 on the Billboard charts.
		This energetic, undeniably Green Day-ish song is a sort of wake up call to the average American, who, they claim, is controlled by the media.
		“American Idiot” seems to be referring to political brainwashing in particular, but the same principle applies to all aspects of the media.

	Kaleo San Diego Church > Articles > Greenday: American Idiot
		The song “American Idiot,” only begins to touch the surface of the album's intent and fury with the American cultural landscape.
		Songs like “Give Me Novacaine,” and “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” do more to assess the human heart and define the source of Billy Joe's pain than most moralizing or neo-psycho babble speeches that are passed off for sermons on a Sunday morning.
		American Idiot might piss you off, or it might bring a sly smile to your face, but it won't leave you without opinion.

		American Idiot has sold 5.7 million units in the US as of August 2006,[1] excluding that American Idiot has sold 1 million digital albums over the internet, and has been certified as a platinum digital record.
		The song "American Idiot" has been described by the band as their public statement in reaction to the confusing and warped scene that is American pop culture since 9/11.
		Certain similarities exist in the music of American Idiot that have caused some to believe that Green Day "ripped off" portions of the album from other artists, although these similarities may exist simply because the songs served as inspiration, or even as references or tributes to the other groups.

	IGN: American Idiot Review
		No, American Idiot is Green Day's masterpiece, their magnum opus, the indelible mark they have left on the music world forever.
		Granted, the song "American Idiot" does have a "single" feel about it, but the piece is easily superior to most of Green Day's radio-airwave contributions in the past.
		The song is as powerful and poignant as it is inflammatory; our President is reduced to the status of "gasman" and the picture painted of battle is as hellish as one might imagine.

	Rolling Stone : American Idiot : Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		American Idiot is the kind of old-school rock opera that went out of style when Keith Moon still had a valid driver's license, in the tradition of the Who's Tommy, Yes' Relayer or Styx's Kilroy Was Here.
		American Idiot could have been a mess; in fact, it is a mess.
		"American Idiot" is the perfect introduction song to this album which describes the general atmosphere.

	Green Day: American Idiot (2004): Reviews
		American Idiot is one of the most politically volatile albums to come out since the ascension of the Accidental President.
		And, sure, as a whole 'American Idiot' can easily be criticised for its simplistic, occasionally naïve sixth form lyrics, all round pomposity and general adherence to the group's tried and tested formula of punchy three-chord pogo-pop.
		Concept or not, American Idiot is still decent fodder for a mosh pit, a luagh and a sob session.

	The Trades - Music Review: Green Day, "American Idiot"
		One of the harshest political statements in a song, "American Idiot" endeavors to walk that line between free speech and John Ashcroft beating down your door.
		One thing you'll like about American Idiot is that the band doesn't come out and say what they mean--everything is done on the story of this guy named Jesus of Suburbia and several other characters introduced later in the album.
		The final chapter of this song is "We're Coming Home Again." Aptly titled, this is reminiscent of some of their more recent work with a little bit of "She" thrown in for good measure.

		American Idiot is one of the worst songs on this album and it's a pretty good song.
		Let's instead focus on the rest of "American Idiot", which starts off with a bang - a one-two punch of the punk rock of the title track and then the epic "Jesus Of Suburbia", which is a punk mini-opera.
		Overall "American Idiot" is Green Day's strongest album ever, which is saying something considering they also have the pop/punk classics "Dookie" and "Insomniac" in their catalogue.

	Green Day - American Idiot Review - sputnikmusic
		"American Idiot" is the overture of a brilliantly demented take on the angst that riddles the youth of the world today, whether it be the truth or not.
		The song works through its movements at a steady pace, proving to be a fine listen, but not as engaging as the care-free sounds of "Jesus of Suburbia." You'll probably want "Homecoming" to end long before it does, which is never a good quality for a lengthy "epic" to have.
		That song's a decent ending, even though it makes the concept album end with a cliff hanger that probably wouldn't be finished (unless Green Day make a sequel to the American Idiot album itself).

	American Idiot by Green Day Songfacts
		American Idiot (the song) is about a person who dosent want to be like the normal american, he wants to be special.
		American Idiot (The song) is just a portion of the album, which when put together tells a portion of the story of the album, similar to Pink Floyd's "The Wall".
		American Idiot is what punk rock is about, if you don't believe me, try listening to The Sex Pistols for a while and hear real punk, not watered down emo crap.

	Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day Songfacts
		In the music video for this song, you can also hear the last faded bits of "Holiday," the other hit from the album, in the background, as this song is the follow up to that.
		I love this song and then for a while I got a little tired of it, but then you hear it and you like it again so I guess this song will last a long time and be remembered.
		Green Day is managing to break that trend with a highly complex narrative on American Idiot (a teriffic album by the way), so keep in mind that their videos have absolutely squat to do with the message and concept their music is communicating.

		American Idiot is about how he's lost in a world of confusion and how government is ****ing him over and such.
		Anywho, this idiot of America is left with a loss of what to do, without a girl, without anything, back at home, but still in that "land of make believe that don't believe in me"....so that's basically it.
		In a nut shell, the American Idiot album is about one guy who is completely lost in an existantional quandry; he doesnt know who he is as a person, or who he is supposed to be.

		Inferences aside, you could argue that American Idiot is a suspect device--a punk concept album/rock opera primed to blow up in the faces of the ruling right-wing American classes but which could just as easily leave splattered egg on the faces of the insurrectionists.
		American Idiot could be brave or it could be stupid, but it really can't be ignored.
		If you liked the song American Idiot you'll like the rest of the album, but I don't feel this is representitive of their previous albums.

	Warping Into the Ultimate Idiots - Green Day articles - GeekStinkBreath.net
		After their album was stolen the guys had a choice to make: go on putting out so-so albums, maybe some B-sides, having a hostile environment when they recorded, or they could suck it up, talk things out, and make what Entertainment Weekly later called “a punk rock masterpiece”; their biggest, most ambitious album to date.
		President Bush is to thank for a lot of 'American Idiot', or blame depending on how you look at it.
		They are also currently involved in their Idiot Club, a replacement for the All Ages Fan Club answering your questions personally and it also includes a chat room, message board, and a lot more.

		American Idiot is the first cd of Green Day that I bought.
		Several years before this album, I had heard some of their songs who were very good like Basket Case,Walking Contradiction,Minority and more...When I heard American Idiot and Boulevard of broken dreams I immediately bought their Cd.
		I was absolutely floored by how incredible "American Idiot" is. I've been a fan of Green Day since the single 'When I Come Around', and I seem to be the only person I know who really enjoys the album "Warning", but "American Idiot" blew my socks off.

	The Collaboratory Forums Forums - American Idiot (Green Day)
		I do like one song on the album though which is the Re-make of I fought the law, which was also redone by the clash.
		Courtnry, I don't think "American Idiot" is really insulting our society as it is just making us think about how much we depend on whatever is on the TV or radio to make us form our opinions.
		In this song, they found the exact right tempo and everything to convey the message of the song, it is not a good song unless the two elements go together.

	"American Idiot" by Green Day
		Out of all the post-Nirvana American alternative bands to break into the pop mainstream, Green Day were second only to Pearl Jam and Soundgarden in terms of influence.
		The main riff through the song is easy, as most "punk" music truly is. You will be working with fast chord changes though, all based solely on power chords.
		Remember to play close attention to the timing with this, as that is the key to the song.

	Frazy.com: Users with : American Idiot
		However, with "American Idiot" they either have finally sold into the corporate world or just happen to want to do what most every other band is doing or has already done.
		All the songs on here are great, the only problem with it is too much politic crap in the songs, but it's still good.
		My favorite song(s) is/are: American Idiot 'cos it sends out the meaning how Bush is an idiot along with his fello' conservatives, how they are making awful decisions, Wake Me Up When September Ends....

		Bille Joe Armstong is another in a long line of celebrity blowhards trying to tell us Republicans are evil, the President is out to kill everyone who disagrees with him, the south is full of stupid people, religious people are morons, and that war is always wrong.
		In the end, the true American Idiot is Bille Joe Armstong himself.
		I reluctantly bought this CD shortly after it came out when a friend told me how good it was during a could care less about them phase and it was all I ended up listening to for a long time.

		American Idiot is a great song - a return to form after 'Warning' (it was a good album, but not great).
		I'd say Kerplunk is one of their best albums but Dookie and American Idiot are really good.

	Top Hits Online
		Last week Beyonce broke Christina Aguilera's string of eight consecutive weeks at #1 with her smash hit "Irreplaceable." This week Beyonce solidifies her lead on the chart, and it appears there will be no worthy challengers to the top spot for at least two weeks.
		"9 Crimes" is an international hit but is getting only minimal airplay in the U.S. This song is a perfect example of how the THO chart is truly a world music chart.
		But songs from the U.S. do very well here - take Daughtry's "It's Not Over," which moves into the top 20 and is the chart's greatest point gainer this week.
