Amazon.co.uk Review
Punk had flirted with mainstream attention before--the Clash and Sex Pistols had hits--but didn't fully advance from the underground until this pure-punk 1994 album. In singing catchy, tight rock & roll tunes--including "Longview", "Welcome to Paradise" and "When I Come Around"--Green Day sneered its way into the hearts of millions. The Berkeley, California, trio also ignited a debate: Is it selling out for punks to sign with a major record label and become multi-platinum stars? Fortunately, this band didn't seem to care as much as Kurt Cobain did. --Steve Knopper

fantastic
this is got to be the best green day album ever and im an avid fan its got the raw sound of 1039 but bettr produced (sorry lookout) its a must its up there with Paranoid by the mighty sabbath buy this album sold more than that dire american idiot s**t sorry its my personal opinion they say gd sold out after the release of this album but no! american idiot shnard

The best Green Day album to date
This is my favourite Green Day album to date, it is very closely followed by their most recent one, American Idiot. This album is filled with extremely catchy songs and once you hear them a few times, you will feel the urge to sing along as loudly as you can.

There are so many great songs and I don't actually have a favourite, and they are all great. If you want to buy a Green Day album, this is the album to buy, I highly recommend it.

A great album
This album is amazing, but not as good as Green Days latest album 'American idiot'. However, this CD still has some classic songs on it which really do have some of Green Days best.The album starts with 'Burnout'. This is a fun song with some intersting guitar work at the end. The next song 'Having a blast' is quite fast paced, and yet manages to apply the brakes for the amazing chorus.

The album has all of the singles as well, such as: 'longview', 'Basket Case' and 'When I Come Around'. They are all very catchy and among Green Days best. Longview is a very memorable song. The song 'she' starts slowly but then explodes along at a break-neck pace which makes for a good song. This album has 7 excellent tacks, and for about £6- its well wort the buy.

Oh, and by the way- buy their album 'American Idiot' because it has a more mature, darker sound to it........
