Amazon.co.uk Review
Strangely for a greatest hits compilation, Green Day's International Superhits opens with two new songs recorded in 2001. "Maria" is Green Day playing to their strengths, a burst of rattling skinny tie new wave that has you itching to join the nearest mosh pit, and the cool acoustic pop of "Poprocks and Coke" is worthy of the trio's Nimrod. The implication is clear: the unfortunate diversion undertaken by 2000's Warning (where the band horrifically mutated into The Levellers) is over and now it's business as usual. Thank God for that. Although a host of skate chancers have tried to rewrite the likes of "Basket Case" and "Brain Stew", no one does punk pop better than Billie Joe and the boys. No one does it quite as intelligently either. "Longview" almost sneers at the slacker ennui it seems to embody, "Welcome to Paradise" sneaks in a cheeky steal from Dead Kennedys, and "Redundant" runs on a sublime psyche melody worth of Elliott Smith. All of which proves you don't need a potty mouth and a dull 'tude to be a real rebel--and dreadlocks and dogs on strings are a definite no no. --Ian Watson

Customer Reviews

Green Day: International superhits!
What can I say? The "Best of" collection of one of the greatest bands in the world. You know it's gonna be good! It also contains all their best from Longview to Minority, Basket Case to Warning-you get the picture. I only really got into Green Day in the middle of 2004, and since buying this album, I'm a huge Green Day fan! This is Green Day at their prime, so to anyone who has never heard anything before "American Idiot" I cannot reccomended this enough!

Warning, seriously good!
Now that everyones got over how brilliant American Idiot was, people are going back and listening to some of the classics that this band recorded. This is the greatest collection of all their greatest songs, and includes mint tracks such as WARNING, MINORITY and BASKET CASE.

...this album will lift you up into the sky when you're in a bad mood...
Some outstanding songs on the album would have to be 'Longview', a sarcastic look at the life of REAL people (lol that's the only way I can describe it!); 'Minority', a classic Green Day song which will always be chanted at one in the morning after parties by me and my mates; 'Good Riddance', a touching ballad that is complemented brilliantly by Billie Joe's unique voice and gentle guitar-playing, (it has reduced me to tears in some less sober moments!); 'Warning', a nice, bold look at how authority protects us... actually no, it's just a long list of warnings... buy the album and listen to it if you really wanna know!!!

The last track of the album brings you down brilliantly - the amazingly moving Macy's Day Parade. Again, Billie Joe's lovely voice reaches all the peaks and troughs of this nice, long ballad about - well, you have to listen to it, I sing along all the time but I haven't worked out exactly what it's about yet! It's such a LOVELY song though!

But, if it's hardcore Green Day punk that you're looking for, BUY THIS ALBUM NOW!!! I can go on about the 'lovely songs' but an album full of them would get boring, and it is the good old upbeat, throw-yourself-around-the-room type of punk-pop that Green Day do best that brings this album to life, which is evident in songs such as 'Longview', 'She', 'JAR', 'Poprocks and Coke'... I could go on but I'm only allowed 1000 words!

To sum it up, this album will lift you up into the sky when you're in a bad mood, vent your frustration when angry, and give you a reason to bounce around when you're feeling hyper! BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!!! Just go! Now! Get out the credit card and... BUY IT!
