AMERICAN IDIOT


In my opinion, "American Idiot" is one of the best albums ever. This one of legendary punk band from California, Greenday, albums is not only unique but also brings the new idea of making an album in music industry. "American Idiot" is an album that lashes out against the American Government and media, and I think it’s a brave and kind of rebel album that shown they are concern about what happen in their country. Not like the other punk rock bands that usually wrote about love songs in their album. "American Idiot" brings a very interesting album concept by telling a story about a guy named St.Jimmy from the beginning of his aim to took over the world until in the last day in his life that represents American government so that from one song to another song is related to each other. The first single that has same title, American Idiot, was the first Green Day record ever to debut at #1 on the Billboard Charts, and other music charts around the world. "American Idiot" was nominated for seven Grammy awards, and took home one, "Best Rock Album". In August of 2005, Green Day took home 7 Video Music Awards from MTV. So that is why I said "American Idiot" is the best album ever.
