Dookie by Green Day

Pros: Some of the catchiest punk rock ever
Cons: :::

California punk trio Green Day made a huge (and muddy) splash at Woodstock '94, gaining the attention of millions. Their famous mudfight was only part of what propelled Green Day and their major label debut Dookie to the mainstream - the ...

Pros: Billie's unique vocals, good lyrics.
Cons: Most songs have a similar sound, may get boring.

Green Day - Dookie produced by Rob Cauallo and released in 1994, was my first experiences with the band. At the time I had just started getting into to rock and alternative music. It was only appropriate that I buy Dookie, it fits in well with ...

Pros: A variety of pop rock punk, ahh, so many titles. GOOD MUSIC.
Cons: Overall bad production leaving room for more impact.

I discovered Greenday along the same time that I discovered Weezer. I was amongst peo ...

Pros: About as Perfect as Pop-Punk ever PurPorted to be
Cons: Punk Purists will Pummel me for using the word "Punk" in this review

OK, so maybe you've seen the title of this review, and you're thinking to yourself "what the hell kind of 'holy trinity' has anything to do with Green Day?" Well, this is the kind of holy trinity that happens completely by accident, one that...

Pros: Basket Case
Cons: Everything else, seriously

In the first half of the 1990s, a band emerged that would bring back a sound not heard since the late 1970s, they would reintroduce the world to a sound that was reminiscent of the rock emerging from the UK at that period, which was dubbed 'punk'. Their ...

Pros: "Longview", "Basket Case", "She" and "When I Come Around".
Cons: Generic punk-pop songs.

At one point in my life, I was a Green Day fan. I guess a lot of people my age can say that. It's a good bet that anyone who went to high school in the mid to late 90s owns the "Dookie" album. In 1994, these guys were on top of the world. So what...

Pros: hookier than Senior Cut Day.  A fantastic album that still holds up
Cons: none

Yes, the new Green Day album is on it's way, so here's my third review of the band's third Full length album part of my Green Day Review Project.  While I thought I might be able to complete the catalog by the 15th, I'm not so sure now.I had ...

Pros: Are unnecessary
Cons: Are even more unnecessary

‘I declare I don’t care no more / I’m burning up and out and growing bored…’ An extract from Five Quick Questions with Green Day (author unknown and most probably nonexistent) 1. Why do you wear eye make-up? We don’t know (a ...

Pros: Fifteen all around great songs, good musical performances, etc.
Cons: It had the unfortunate luck of influencing an all around bad genre of mainstream music.

Dookie is both one of the most loved and hated rock albums of the 90s. It is often credited as the album that single-handedly brought pop-punk into the mainstream while simultaneously extending the sound Nirvana popularized with ...

Pros: Arguably Green Day's best effort. Features many of their classics, and some underrated gems.
Cons: Songs 11 through 13 go by too quickly.

When Grunge was finally settling down and dying out, Green Day stormed onto the scene with their smash hit album, Dookie. Using a formula already created by bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam, and combining it with catchy, fast, punk rock, they had a ...

Pros: An essential album for all Pop Punk fans out there of the world.
Cons: 'Basket Case' irritates me no end.

'Dookie' was the album that brought mainstream success to Green Day in the 90's. Released in February 1994 through Reprise Records it contains the hit singles of 'Welcome to Paradise', 'When I Come Around', and of course 'Basket Case'. Although it was ...

Pros: Features most of Green Day's best songs
Cons: Some songs are just good rather than great

…about everything from leaving home to becoming bored with masturbation. Yup, Green Day are the ultimate “young, dumb and full of c*m” slacker punk group. The title of this record should be enough to give you a clue of the mentality of these boys...

Pros: Catchy mall-punk that keeps you going from beginning to end.
Cons: Tends to blend together, as one Green Day song sounds essentially like all the rest.

OK, I'll be the first to admit it: if Green Day premiered as a new band on MTV today, I'd probably be first in line to ridicule them. The thing is, there was something about 1994 that made it all OK. Green Day may have been mall-punk, but they were punk,...

Pros: Not too loud "Best Alternative Rock Performance" 1994 Features "Basket Case" Hidden Track
Cons: Sound slightly "tinny" Lyrics not complete in "F.O.D."

1994, the world in a craze over the untimely death of Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of Nirvana. At the time music was at its best and at the same time its worst. Nirvana had been like a god to everyone, and everyone was sobbing over Kurt's death. Yet, at...

Pros: Great Lyrics, great music, awesome band members
Cons: The album is getting harder to find

I'll tell you why I bought this album. I bought this album becuase I had recently heard some songs and it, and quite frankly, they rocked! I love the songs on this album because of their punk style and the way that Billie Joe sings is awesome. The album...
