Green Day - American Idiot - 2XLP (Reissue)
"American Idiot," Green Day's seminal seventh studio album, released on September 21, 2004, by Reprise Records, represented a pivotal comeback for the band with its bold, politically charged narrative. Described as a "punk rock opera," it tells the story of the disillusioned Jesus of Suburbia against the backdrop of post-9/11 America, employing a mix of punk rock energy and expansive musical storytelling. Following the underwhelming response to "Warning" and the loss of their "Cigarettes and Valentines" master tapes, Green Day returned to their punk roots, enriched with a new theatrical image and a wider musical range. The album's success was staggering, topping charts worldwide, selling over 16 million copies, and earning critical acclaim, including a Grammy for Best Rock Album. Its influence extended beyond music, inspiring a Broadway musical and a planned film, marking "American Idiot" as not only a high point in Green Day's career but also a defining album of the early 21st century.
