  Amazon.com: Nimrod: Music: Green Day   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Nimrod came along two years after 1995's Insomniac and was the first indication of Green Day's willingness to stretch the boundaries of punk rock.
EVERY song on this album is great, but here are some of my favorites: hitchin' a ride, the grouch, nice guys finish last, worry rock, scattered, king for a day, walking alone, prosthetic head, and time of your life.
Another weakness of 'Nimrod' is that it the tracklist whizzes past you before you have the time to appreciate the songs properly.

 The Music Box: Green Day - Nimrod (Album Review)
After the repetition of Insomniac, Nimrod is a huge step forward for Green Day — at least in part.
It essentially is a transitional album that's nearly twice as long as any of the group's other discs.
Worry Rock is still rooted in the band's punk sound, yet it incorporates a bit of country-rock into it with a guitar solo that jangles and falls somewhere between The Byrds and Neil Young.

 Green Day : Nimrod (Australia Bonus Tracks) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Of course, speedy, catchy punk is at the core of the group's sound, so there are plenty of familiar moments on the resultant album, Nimrod, but there are also new details that make the record an invigorating, if occasionally frustrating, listen.
Still, Nimrod suffers from being simply too much -- although it clocks in at under 50 minutes, the 18 tracks whip by at such a breakneck speed that it leaves you somewhat dazed.
With a little editing, Green Day's growth would have been put in sharper relief, and Nimrod would have been the triumphant leap forward it set out to be.

 Metroactive Music | Green Day
Insomniac, the band's last album, came hard on the heels of Dookie and was more of the same, only less effectively rendered.
Nimrod starts slowly, however: the first three songs are all adequate but somewhat rote.
Strangely, the first single from the album, "Hitchin' a Ride," is not one of the better songs, belonging as it does to a group of emotionally retarded numbers about being a negative loser who's bound to fail.

 Review of Green Day's "Nimrod"
If this album is anything to go by, then this is a band who likes music to be hard and fast.
And in the end that is what makes this album average, as opposed to being really good, or just plain good.
Nimrod is a bit of harmless fun, but ultimately uninspiring.

 Music: Fab formulists (The Boston Phoenix . 10-13-97)
By which I mean the band have made a big pile of new songs as good as those on their 1994 breakthrough album -- songs that literally caused a near-riot when Green Day played Boston's Hatch Shell that summer.
If Nimrod were a Roger Corman film, this would be the point where you'd get up to pee or grab a beer.
Sure, on their early albums the Ramones, Patti Smith, and even Burma and Gang of Four were all good vocal melodists, but the priority during recording was on the immediacy of performances.

 Amazon.co.uk: Nimrod: Music: Green Day   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The best and most beautiful (i hate that word) song on this album is "good riddance(time of your life)" i could listen to that song 1000 times and never get bored of it, you can tell its from the heart.
But personally, I think if Nimrod can be put in the shadow of those other two albums, then Green Day must be one amazing band, because it is fantastic.
Jinx, Haushinka and Reject are nearer the end of the album, and are so samey that by this time they just blend into the background and don't stand out at all for me. Take Back is an interesting foray into metal territory but not something I'd listen to the album for.

 Observer Newspaper - Scene
The album's opening track, "Warning," shows how different the album sounds from their past material.
The best song on the album is also the first single, "Minority." The song is already No. 1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Singles chart, and is one of the best songs of the band's career.
But it is a far cry from the pure punk album that Rancid released this summer, and also nowhere near the power of The Replacements' Tim, the album that shows the best transition a punk band has ever made to more quiet sound.

 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Nimrod
Nimrod starts off with a classic Green Day song, "Nice Guys Finish Last," which gives way to "Hitchin' A Ride," which starts eerie and ends as a head-bobbing scream-along.
Once again, the gears shift for "Uptight," a softer rock song about a guy on the verge of suicide.
Most definitely a transition album from the three-chord formula of their peers into their musical potential, Nimrod hooks you with Dookie charm and holds you there with American Idiot grace.

 Amazon.com: Dookie: Music: Green Day   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
This album was the cure for boredom in the lifeless suburb I grew up in.
Aside from the hits, there was also some great album tracks, such as the lovely "She" and "Pulling Teeth," and "Welcome To Paradise" (a re-recording of the same song off of their "Kerplunk" album) which also received airplay.
This album was a defining moment in which I learned to appreciate a "full album" as opposed to single tracks.

 Green Day Album review: Nimrod - Album   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Personally I think this is the best Green Day album, the others are also better in so many ways but this brings out the true Green Day.
Nimrod Has so many great songs in it, personally my favourite is the all time classic Good Ridence, not to say its my favourite Green Day song though.
In many ways Nimrod has brought Green Day to a new level of their music, from here you could see the changes happening from Nimrod, to Warning then to Green Days most popular album American Idiot, where as 39/smooth, Kerplunk, Dookie and Insomniac all carry the classic Green Day sound.

Auteur de deux albums confidentiels puis de deux best-sellers (Dookie en 1994 et Insomniac en 1995), Green Day avait à coeur avec Nimrod de prouver que sa formule gagnante pouvait reposer sur autre chose que sur trois accords.
Du coup, ce cinquième album est plus élaboré, sans que le trio californien renonce pour autant à son punk-rock mélodique.
Green Day nous offre, avec ce cinquième album, le meilleur de leur musique : les amateurs de punk-rock dans le style de Dookie seront comblés, avec des chansons très efficaces comme Nice Guys Finish Last, The Grouch, Scattered ou Uptight.
