Dookie

Nostalgic but hard to listen to now.

I’ve never got the hang of Green Day. I have no idea why this is so popular, it just seemed a bit tedious to me to be honest. And the last track sucks fwiw

meh. only liked two songs.

well there’s no denying that there’s better punk out there but this is alright to some extent too, but if i wanted punk i’d put something else on and that’s the thing. it has some passable tracks, though for me a lot of them especially on the second half of the record started flowing together and sounding the same. for me usually punks very basic musical composition is to accentuate the lyrics, which usually have some sort of political message of the times the songs were written, which is what makes the genre so great. can't give it those points though if half the songs are about wanking you know?? on a second thought it strikes me as if green day doesn't possess the inherent punk ideology that kickstarted the genre, they just heard where it came from and not caring about the politics just tried to fit into the "lifestyle" of actual punks, which is just a tad inauthentic really and takes away the rawness, the anger, and desire for change that authentic punk possesses, so it almost just isn't punk at all... but i digress hihi xx

Big fan of American Idiot. Had never listened to this album before. Will probably never again (or will to see just what the hell I am missing). Didn't do anything for me. Very disappointing. Important at its time but not for me.

Was familiar with the singles - but had not listened to the album previously. I really like the later album: American Idiot and had high hopes as have a soft spot for punk pop. Unfortunately I found it rather disappointing - all the songs seemed to blur into each other at the same tempo/level with a lack poppy hooks apart from the singles. Maybe it was too early in the day but I found the whole thing rather tiring... :-(

Not for me. This was a great album for them. It got played way too much and it tastes bad in my mouth.

If I never hear any of these songs, I'll still have heard them too many times. I also hate how he sings. And I hate everything that came out of this.

Not a fan - repetitive except Longview which I quite enjoyed. The rest largely blended into one another in a mush. That being said, I can observe and respect this album's influence on the late 90s/early 2000s teen media craze : it's a soundtrack to angst, awkwardness and self discovery.

A few classic songs to be sure. But when you listen to this album straight through, you really notice how similar and interchangeable these songs feel

2,5

Never really got on with green day, Basket Case is their best work though

En 1994, Kurt Cobain venait de se tirer une balle dans le caisson, laissant une génération d'adolescents en chemise à carreaux orpheline et dépressive. Le Grunge, si puissant deux ans plus tôt, commençait à sentir le sapin. Le rap, lui, était en train de devenir le nouveau roi du pétrole, mais pour un mec comme moi qui avait grandi avec le rock, ça restait un langage un peu étranger. Et pour l'électronique, n'en parlons pas, ça me donnait de l'urticaire (à quelques exceptions). Conclusion, le rock avait besoin d'un bon gros électrochoc, d'un truc simple, fun et direct. Et puis, trois gamins de Californie, biberonnés au punk des Ramones et des Sex Pistols, ont débarqué avec "Dookie". Et ce fut un raz-de-marée. Il faut être honnête, en 1994, ce disque était une putain de bouffée d'air frais. C'était rapide, c'était mélodique, c'était insolent. Trente-huit minutes, quinze morceaux, pas de temps mort. Une guitare qui sonne comme une scie sauteuse, une basse funky qui sautille partout, et des paroles qui parlaient de ce que vit n'importe quel adolescent occidental : l'ennui, la branlette, l'anxiété et le sentiment délicieux d'être incompris. "Basket Case", "Longview", "When I Come Around"... Des hymnes instantanés, des tubes parfaits pour faire du skateboard en baggy et se sentir rebelle entre le cours de maths et le dîner chez les parents. C'est là que le piège de la nostalgie se referme car pour toute une génération, ce disque est intouchable. C'est la bande-son de leur premier baiser, de leur premier joint, de leur première cuite. C'est la madeleine de Proust trempée dans du Cola. Si vous aviez 15 ans en 1994, je comprends, vraiment. Mais ce blog n'est pas un album de souvenirs, son but, c'est de voir si ces 1001 disques tiennent encore la route aujourd'hui. Et pour "Dookie", la réponse est : pas vraiment. Alors, mettons les pieds dans le plat. Pourquoi ce 2 sur 5 sévère ? Parce que la nostalgie est une menteuse, et que le temps est un juge impitoyable. Et le temps a révélé la vérité sur "Dookie" : c'est un disque terriblement répétitif. Une fois que tu as écouté trois morceaux, tu les as tous écoutés. C'est la même recette, resservie quinze fois : un couplet un peu calme, un refrain en accords de puissance qui explose, un petit pont, et on recommence. C'est efficace, c'est la recette du bubble-gum : ça a un goût intense au début, mais ça perd sa saveur très, très vite. Au bout du dixième morceau, t'as l'impression d'avoir mangé tout le paquet et t'es au bord de l'indigestion. Et puis, il y a ce que l'album est devenu car avec le recul, ce punk-rock est devenu gentil... Trop gentil. En 1994, ça semblait teigneux en 2024, après avoir réécouté les Sex Pistols, les Ramones ou The Clash, "Dookie" sonne comme du punk pour centre commercial. C'est une rébellion de catalogue, une colère proprette, calibrée pour passer sur MTV entre deux pubs pour des jeans. L'attitude punk est là, mais elle est en plastique. Billie Joe Armstrong chante avec un faux accent anglais, comme un gamin qui imite Johnny Rotten devant son miroir. C'est mignon, mais ça manque cruellement d'authenticité, de danger. Et enfin, il y a le fond. Je suis un vieux con, je l'assume et les paroles sur l'ennui et la masturbation, ça va cinq minutes. Quand tu as 16 ans, "Longview" est un hymne. Quand tu en as 54 et que tu as des factures à payer, ça te fait juste gentiment sourire. C'est le journal intime d'un adolescent, et comme tous les journaux intimes, ça ne vieillit pas très bien. Ça manque de profondeur, de cette douleur universelle et intemporelle qu'un disque comme "Nevermind" pouvait avoir. L'angoisse de "Dookie" est une angoisse de confort, une angoisse de banlieue pavillonnaire. "Dookie" c'était le disque parfait pour une époque, mais un disque parfait pour une époque n'est pas forcément un disque parfait pour toutes les époques. Il a ouvert la porte à une vague de pop-punk encore plus inoffensive et formatée qui a déferlé à la fin des années 90. Il a rendu le punk acceptable, et donc, il l'a un peu tué. "Dookie" est une capsule temporelle, un excellent souvenir d'une époque révolue. Mais quand on le sort de son contexte, il reste un bon petit album de pop-rock énergique, mais terriblement daté et superficiel. C'est un bon album quand tu as 15 ans.

The drummer is seriously putting in overtime on this record. I'm probably the most tolerant person of pop punk out of my friends, but fuck me, even this album is a drag. Every song starts the same and sounds the same, no fucking range from Billie Joe Armstrong whatsoever. Only song I do enjoy is When I Come Around, the rest of these songs could easily have the same title and I'd believe it was the same song. Hopefully I never have to listen to this album again in my life, lame ass whiny album.

Three feels generous for an album that can be summed up by the opening line of basket case: “do you have the time to listen to me whine”. Green Day are a bunch of suburban Californian white boys who write songs for other suburban Californian white boys about how hard it is to be a suburban Californian white boy. This album is full of what would become early 2000’s teen movie needledrop tracks that you half recognise from a single bar you heard in aforementioned movie. It is not good. The fact that these guys got flak from the punk scene for ‘selling out’ is astonishing because I can’t believe they had any credibility in it before they released a studio album. Astonishingly mid album. Basket Case is alright.

The longest 39 minutes of my entire life 5/10 Fav tracks - Basket Case Least Fav - All by Myself

Took me three attempts to listen to this at home without falling asleep. This shit is ass. Sitting through this was like the ludo vico sequence. I guess the drumming is okay

Ok, but not for me 2/5.

Half of this album sounds the exact same as the last pop punk song you heard. The other half has decent melodies and is famous/iconic enough, but then you remember half of THOSE were probably lifted from better rock songs. It's inoffensive without context, but still nothing special in the long run.

Derivative and dull

basket case é uma all time banger listening meio cansativo, pouca variação entre as musicas

Sounds samey

Wow, that was actually a really boring and monotone album. I think I am not a fan of early Green Day at all. It's just that type of punk rock which is grinding your gears for an hour straight, three chords over and over again.

Loud but only slightly obnoxious. Repetitive and not very enjoyable. Not bad enough to hate but bad enough to dislike.

In the late nineties/early naughties I was young and weak and I listened to some pop punk for a short time (actually Blink-182 and The Offspring, that's it) before turning to the most metallic side of things. I'm comfortable with my tastes at that time, but the truth is I never quite like the sound of guitars in this genre, too bright, with too many major keys. I never listened to Dookie before because this phase was too short for me to dive in the glorious history of pop punk, but it has all the same qualities (pretty fun and easy to listen to) and defaults (this horrible guitar sound, all songs could be the same) of other albums of the genre.

A couple of good songs but I'm not in to this style of american 'punk'

The songs felt far too monotonous and felt like power chords for 40 mins. I added a star for basket case as that’s been an ear worm.

Somehow this album is not as bad as I remember (the decent songs) and at the same time way worse than I remember (everything else).

Punk content: zero Pop content: mediocre Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain came out in '94. Why the hell would anyone be listening to this?

2 stars for a few of the classics. Otherwise, a multi-skip track album. Most songs sound the same. And have never been much of punk rock fan

- I like the bass and drum rhythms, but not the actual drums themselves, they sound too light for the type of music it’s trying to be. - Drum fills are good. - 3rd song has bass solo, that’s cool and I like - transition between 3rd song and 4th was great, really liked that - 4th song has great drum rhythm with the tons, and has a good melody, probably my favourite so far - tempo seems to change between chorus and verse - nice fade out - said this before but I really like the bass lines - 6th song is good, new favourite, good chord progression and relaxed tempo - 7th song I have heard before but didn’t realise it was on this album - it’s the new favourite and yes I have the time to listen to you whine - 8th song, I like how the electric guitar came in - what the hell was that scream - I’m finding so far that all the songs are sounding super similar, which isn’t a positive thing - 9th song, sounds like all the other songs, it’s just okay nothing special - actually I liked how the ride cymbal came in towards the end very crisply - 10th song is sounding familiar but I can’t pick why, sounds okay - one thing I’m noticing too is that I’m not picking up much on the lyrics, the voice kind of blends with the music which is another thing I don’t like - okay nice higher guitar solo, wasn’t long but it was nice to have something different - 11th song, sounded like all the others - 12th song sounds exactly like song 11 - there’s this section that’s bass toms and some guitar with no cymbals and that was cool I guess - 13th song I don’t like the fast tempo already, and I don’t like the drum rhythm - another cool section with bass, low guitar and some electric - 14th song it’s started with just light guitar and vocals, it’s a nice change - sounds super thin, I think the mixing is off and Spotifys probably screwed up the normalisation - okay everything else has come in, and it sounds good, the variation is good to have to make it interesting - most interesting song for sure - 15th song, wow okay very different sound here, great guitar, singing is shit, mixing is worse - I like the rawness here - overall I wouldn’t listen again, but good to try something new

I couldn't make it through this...

Green Day has never been my thing. Not punk enough by a long shot to warrant the naivety of their music. Where's the anger, where's the energy?! Coming at it 20 years later, this still holds true for me. Plus, I haaate the guitar sound.

Not a fan

"to me, it's nothing" the attitude of the album Super tempting to play this album too loud and play air drums. The mix is a bit too Punk Rock for my tastes.

Not for me. Sounds too much like the Friends era, and I dislike that series. Silly for me.

Never heard this album, just some of the songs. I'm not a fan of Billy Joe Armstrong's voice nor his lyrics. The band is able to find some hooks, though. Some call Green Day "Punk" or "Hard Rock". I call it "What you get when Katrina and the Waves gets drunk".

Decente, nunca he sido fan de Green Day, pero Dookie es un buen proyecto. Canciones cortas, energéticas y algún que otro buen tema. El corte final horrible, todo sea dicho.

Aaaah je n'aime pas aaaah

Ihan on ookoo, muutamat kohokohdat.

ehhhhh... fine

Meh, nothing stood out

Nostalgic, but a bit too “pop” for me

funny how basket case became a hit because everything sounds the same, haha.

Boring....

Decent pop punk. I've never heard the album but have heard every song. Music for people who think they're edgy to singalong to. 5/10

Oh geez alright. The drumming is undeniably some of my favourite for the genre, I feel like Travis Barker gets more than his fair share that should be redirected to Tre. This album just doesn’t hit like it used to for me. Maybe I’m just old now

Not a huge fan. All sounds the same except the hits.

Not my style. The quality of the album doesn't match with their later work. It might be a nostalgic piece for people that got into Green Day early on.

standard punkscheiß

I like Green Day, but honestly never really loved them. And strangely I think their later albums are better.

Guys, is it punk to sing like a baby boy?

Didn’t realize how much their music just sounds like noise.

Expected to hate it. Didn’t. Didn’t love it either. So there we are.

GD be like GD

Es un disco de Green Day muy parecido a un disco de Green Day

Punk-Rock, 1994 -> 2

snooze

This is good at doing what it intends to do, which is melodic pop punk. But it's not got the bite that I like in punk. Nice of them to let Kermit the Frog sing the last song.

Not my cup of tea. If all I can hear is over drive and the snare, I'm not a fan. Not to say this is bad, I know Green Day is iconic in the genre. It's just not for me 2/5 I won't be reaching for it again.

Sorry but i did not have the time to listen to Billie Joe Armstrong whine.My favorite green day album is Insomniac and that was a better follow up than Dookie in my opinion.Its like a Terminator and Terminator 2 situation, the sequel is better.Who wants to listen to an album that is straight Dookie by the way.Although the mixing is good on this album, I find it an overrated album in my opinion.

Even at 35 minutes, its 25 minutes too long. I just cant listen to this guy whine all day

solo la ultima cancion fue diferente a todas las demas

Eh, I'm not much of a Green Days fan to begin with but this album wasn't so bad, it's okay with at least 2 good songs

It was okay. I saw a review that said something like 'it's dripping in American' and that is so true, everything about it is dumb american teen angst. Having said that, it was decent enough to listen to, i don't hate it but i really don't love it. I really don't understand 'basket case being the most streamed song because it was honestly quite a boring listen- my favourite by far was 'when I come around'. It had a decent enough tune and was slightly interesting. The lead singer (Billie i believe- who tf spells 'billy': 'billIE- it's weird american shit again) has such teenage dirtbag vocals, but he can't pull them off because only Brendan B. Brown can pull them off and ONLY when he sings teenage dirtbag. Use of these vocals in any other situation should be severey punished. Honestly, wouldn't listen again, but it wans't awful.

Punk at its crispest, cleanest and bounciest. Way too polished, too. One's no punk acolyte, but will stand with the purists here and cal this awfully lame overall. Even for the low standards of slacker art, this is no great shakes and certainly not to be taken serioulsly.

Ugh. I figured we would get this since we also got Offspring, but still...just not very interesting or entertaining, I'm afraid (and somewhat surprisingly, not as interesting as The Offspring) .

i like Longview

not my thing, never has been, tried it, but just not that interested. it's not that it's bad music, i just don't care for puck-adjacent stuff that much, which is how Dookie feels to me.

I dont like Queen

For about a week when I was 16. I thought this album ruled. In the here & now, it's just making me worry that this project might be "1001 bands you could hear on classic rock radio in 1994". Prove me wrong, 1001 Albums...

No sorry this is energy, three chords and not a lot else. Can see how incredibly influential it was, but rather monotonous over an album. Full marks for taking Fugazi, Black flag et al and making an absolute mint from it.

Not into it, yet again

Some bangers but it didn’t do a lot for me.

Fikk nok av Green Day når alle guttane i klassen hadde American Idiot som favorittsang

I remember a couple of these songs being played to death on the radio years ago. Boring kiddie rock.

I was never a big Green Day fan, but like some of their songs. 'When I Come Around' is still an enjoyable song, but the rest of the album was kind of meh. Not one I'll likely revisit. 2/5

Less energy and less creative than American idiot imo.

Não gostei muito, nem me cativou o suficiente para ouvir tudo.

Huh, not a fan, ocekivao sam nesto bolje. Najbolje pjesme: 1. Basket Case 2. When I Come Around 3. Welcome to Paradise

Sorry not a fan, not bad as such just a little sanitized for punk

Not much going on. Singles stand out but only a little past the monotone

I thought maybe I might be like, "hey, this album's alright." But I wasn't.

I generally don't care for the music of Green Day. However, I do like the songs "Basket Case" and "when I come around".

Sorry, not sorry but not a fan…. I felt yelled at… and please understand I loved punk rock in the 80’s… but this just was just not something I enjoyed. I listened to 3 songs… I couldn’t take any more…

While I appreciate the creative contributions Green Day has given to modern society, it is not something I would ever choose to listen to on my own.

Je n’ai jamais été un fan de Green Day, mais je comprends de plus en plus l’intérêt de la chose! Le tone de guitare, l’attitude générale, surtout pour quand c’est sorti, le succès que ça a eu s’explique là! Ceci étant dit, c’est un peu répétitif à mon goût. Ajout à la biblio: Non

Green Day has its place in rock's history, but was never one of my favorites (compared to, say, Nirvana, Bush or Foo Fighters). Not my style.

Greenday were my favourite band when I was 9 years old. I loved their main songs. Not sure if their music still does it for me. I enjoyed moments of the album but I highly doubt this would be something I’d revisit.

Meh!

2 Not a fan of mush mouth words or the sounds generated bu the band

They all sounded really similar and the only really good ones were the popular ones. 4/10

done 3/10

A little boring

Underwhelming af. I expected much from the supposed cornerstone of '90s rock/punk. I think Green Day works best with 2000's sad emo-ish rock songs, not necessarily this brand of punk. Or perhaps I just don't like this brand of punk.

I was never a fan of Green Day, I find this style mediocre (well more like kinda shit, to be frank). It really does nothing for me. Longview and When I Come Around are ok. Atleast I can draw a line under that and know I’m not missing anything interesting.

I hate Greenday. I just can‘t stand Billie‘s singing. Nevertheless, they have some cool tunes and I like the drumming.

Very similar sound throughout. Heavy driving guitar and drums. There are some interesting interlude periods but I just don’t really like the guitar sound honestly. I liked the basket case song but my favorite is when I come around.

Jee green day. Kaikki biisit kuulosti musta samalta :D Chump ja Basket Case erottu tuttuina biiseinä. Ei lähe omalle listalle mut tää on tämmöstä hyvä tietää-musaa.

Minner meg om litt enklere tider, og kan makte å sette pris på et nostalgisk tilbakeblikk. Utover dette fikk jeg ikke så mye ut av det.

When I Come Around I think is a genuinely pretty good song. I really don't feel the rest of it much tbh. It's not THAT bad or anything, a lot of it is pretty catchy, but then I get annoyed by it being stuck in my head for longer than it's welcome lol. (It should be noted that pop-punk is not generally my thing) His voice sorta annoys me on this one, I like the vocals on the later albums quite a bit more tbh. Overall feels like a 2 leaning 2.5 with a couple strong high points and with the rest quite bland or bad imo. As I said, pop punk isn't really for me most of the time.

were paedophiles for the american dream...hehhee... ei viimeaikoina kovin hyvää musiikkia tuottanut heh. . If you don’t like this, you’re basically a moron. noh tykkäsin pikkusenverranpikkusenverran. kolmekymppiset ameeriikkalaiset nostalgeilee arvosteluissa. vetäjääkäähän käteen, heh. varmaan oli aikanaan kovaa settiä, nykyäjään vähemmän sellainen. silti nautinnollista... longview

3.5/10, this feels like an album a 16 year old boy will post #deep to and the nostalgia for those feelings is not there for me. The vocals annoy me, it really felt like a slog to get through this.

I used to have fun with this album. When I was a child.

Fikk nok av Green Day når alle guttane i klassen hadde American Idiot som favorittsang

i feel bad giving everything a 1 lmao. but i appreciate this for what it's worth! just not for me ☹️

no.

Classic Californian skate pop punk. A bit too repetitive and too similar. Forms of the song pretty simple. I hear an influence of country and folk music in the second voice and singing melody

Ok album. Some classics but not my style to listen to it through regularly. I get the social aspect of this album but let’s be honest, this was the beginning of watering down punk for the masses and neutering the message.

i don’t like it ): not a big fan of pop punk

I really praise the fact that they bring a fresh sound on 90’s rock scene, with a punk style music (Ramones inspired) but with a more pop vive that make them so popular. They made punk big again and i really respect that. Basket case is the most famous and best song i think on this album, i belived its the one that stand out and its just a classic Unfortunatly i could not say the same about the rest, for me personality i dont find other song very intersting or even original the structure and melody are a bit too similar at my personal taste. Burnout and chump are good song tho

Dookkkie... trummorna låter så dåliga och låtarna inget vidare bortsett ett par undantag

good thing basket case is on this album or it would be the same song over and over again. never understood the appeal of this, DaBaby before DaBaby. one song 15 times. basket case is the only reason its a 2 and not a 1

Listening to these on you tube has its draw backs, but also its advantages. As in this case, if left to its own devices it continues to play tracks in a similar vein to these selected. This album was followed by the sex pistols and puddle of mudd. Now although green day were OK, a high 2. What followed were much better examples of the genre. Though I do like the holiday track, unfortunately this album didn't live up to it.

I've always thought that this album was overrated. I think I can appreciate it more now than I have in the past, but my qualms are still there. It's mostly the mixing. The drums just sound so tiny and everything bleeds together. It really kills the impact of the album. Attempting to ignore that, the songwriting is really solid though. Catchy, clever and tight pop rock. I get the appeal, I just wish it was that tiny bit better.

Just okay, bit middle of the road 'alternative' music for those who don't really like the wilder guitar stuff.

billie joe's voice has always been nails on a chalkboard to me, but the music is well enough executed, saving it from a 1

I understand why this was such an important album in the mid 1990s to many teens, mainly in the US. I wasn't a teen back then so I don't have nostalgic feelings about this album. When I got a copy of it from a friend of mine in the early 2000s I wasn't too impressed by it. Now that I listened to it again, my opinion hasn't changed that much. It's all just guitar based pop-rock, not a punk album - and all the songs sound really similar. My 11/12-year-old self probably would have liked it more, but it isn't my thing...

Too rowdy for me

Not for me

Light 5

Not a fan.

Dullllllll, couldn't finish.

I know I shouldn’t play the comparison game with these, but in some cases I feel it’s necessary. The Blue Album came out the same year as this, and it absolutely blows this out of the water. This has the much better album cover though, G’work Green Day. Also, nice cameo in This Is 40. Update: I just found out The Blue Album isn’t even in the 1001 albums, which makes this selection even more depressing.

Onhan tämä paljon parempi kuin American Idiot. En silti oikein jaksa.

Pop punk is nearly always boring, so idk if this changes it *Spoiler* It did not. I liked a couple of songs (Blowout has a nice guitar tone), but I absolutely don't understand the appeal of Green Day

That was alright. Not bad, not good. Single time experience. I don't think that you can call that "punk-rock", it's more like just a plastic copy of it. It's sounds not raw at all, there's no riot, it's just a school level pop punk shit. Never was a Green Day fan, not became after that. Somebody may feel nostalgic about this album, but i have my own favorites from this era, far from this.

meh. Not my style.

When I come around is such a classic but otherwise don’t like this album too much. Woulda went hard early 2000s though no doubt

The singles were chosen well by MR. RECORD EXECUTIVE. The rest of it is pretty meh. But the singles are fine. Not sure I can do 3, however. But these guys are so edgy they'll take it as a compliment

Not a band or album that gained my attention

I don't understand why anyone likes this band or the punk genre in general.

not really a fan of this band... its cute i think?

p751. 1994. 2 stars. Rehashed punk/New Wave for the early 90s, with a couple of radio friendly tunes. The Undertones did this first and much better. And Billie Joe Armstrong sounds like he has a bad cold.

But boring couldn’t finish it. Only boring cause It sounds generic to the music from my childhood.

Today was Green Nostalgic but not as good as i remember hahahaha

Fantasilöst. Allt låter nästan likadant.

Heard this a million times.

I remember when this album came out, it was huge. It was unlike anything that was in the pop music space. It's influence is undeniable. That said, I haven't listened to this album in 20 years.... and to tell you the truth, it'll probably be another 20 before I listen to it again. Even the hits haven't aged well, and the filler even less so.

Not a big fan. Only song I liked was When I come around.

Bit of a struggle this one. It’s not that it’s bad exactly, just not that remarkable. Maybe if I’d heard it at a formative age? But listening now it just sounds like so many other bands pop-punking it up. Maybe these guys nailed the sound that others have copied? I don’t know but don’t really care enough to find out.

although there were a number of songs from this album that were single releases, I didn't much care for the rest. Music was similar song to song

Not for me. Found it neither punk or pop punk, and other than Basket Case nothing really stood out to me

Does every song have to be the same? But never mind me, I also dislike Weezer.

I tried, really

alright except his voice is hard to listen to.

"Chump" is good. All other tracks would benefit from Billie Joe shutting up for 2 minutes. Everything past like the first couple of tracks is very samey. Also, maybe it's my mediocre headphones, but the production is kind of weird - the vocals are super quiet, it's like they're drowning in the instrumental. I would have possibly enjoyed it when I was 15, but this just isn't for me.

The album has too much energy and every song sounds the same. "Do you have the time, to listen to me whine". I took the time yes, but I will not take it again.

The last album with Guitars I bought before I fell head first into electronica and a green vynal as well. Like all green day albums a great lead song and a load of mush. These guys made this whole american punk pop sound that seemed to go on forever. It kinda takes the edge of punk and has these annoying vocals. Basket case is a good song though

Basket case is great but the rest just fades into sub-par same-sounding filler

Redelijk

Bepalende plaat voor skatepunk uit de 90s, maar zelfs toen vond ik 't al niet echt briljant en inmiddels is het eigenlijk nog minder leuk.

Not my jam

To me, the consistency of this album is a bit annoying. There are a few breaks in the “I’m fucked, you’re fucked, we’re all fucked” narrative which are very necessary, but even with those it still gets old. There are instrumental high points as well, particularly near the end of the album, but many filler tracks just have a typical pop-punk rhythm. 4/10

DEU YU HAVE THE TYME! Låter som soundtracket till alla PS2-skateboardspel under tidigt 00-tal. Vilket väl säger något om hur inflytelserika Green Day var. Men också något om hur taskigt det åldrats. För så pass bra är det inte. Några hits sticker ut, men annars låter allt annat som en enda elgitarrsgegga. Basket Case, She, When I Come Around och F.O.D. är bra. Bästa låt: Basket Case.

Look it's lots of gooky american rockers targetting students by shouting and occasionally adding melodic riffs and shouting some more and look at this album cover!

Bubble gum punk at best. A few tracks that are listenable. Don't compare this album to all the pretentious "we still think we're punk" crap that came after this album. And they lose points for trying to make everyone think that they are British.

Niets aan de hand: eenvoudige neo-punk in de vijfde versnelling...

Lidt teenagerock, energisk, men lidt for stereotypt

Fun music. Hate the singer.

Very, very mainstream punk pop. Decent sounding band, but ultimately I am finding their music rather boring.

leuke album cover, soort vrolijkere punk

One dimensional and very damey for the most part. Couple of stand out tacks elevate it beyond throw away meh.

Eh. Basket Case is the only good Green Day song. 5-6/10

For all the energy it is a bit one paced

ngl, the singer is pretty dull

Tedious and silly. It’s just dull with very few moments of real quality. You can get over his voice or you can’t. And I can’t. But hey at least this was before they disappeared up their own asses

Despite the consensus of Green Day fans being that Dookie is their best record by a significant margin, it still sounds sort of like "Dookie" to me. The instrumentals, the tempo, the vocal style, the lyrical content is the same on nearly every track here. If you listen to the first one, it seems like you really have experienced everything Green Day has to offer. It's not necessarily bad, it's just average dumbed-down skate punk that does absolutely nothing for me.

se me está haciendo largo y son sólo 38 minutos

Kinda feels repetitive at the start but has some recognizable songs Best songs: Basket case & when i come around Rating 2/5

Not my cup of tea

bah c'est un album de green day quoi, aucune envie d'écouter ça. 2? fav : welcome to paradise ?

Not great.

I've always said Green Day were shit but never truly listened to them properly to back up my argument. Now I have.

Yeah, no, I didn't like it at all. But on the bright side it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it to be! Just a bit bad, bland, boring, unappealing - but not nearly as annoying as expected!

All these bands only have one song! It's fine, but I don't see why they got so big? MTV? Kooky singer?

Puerile rubbish. Some catchy riffs not not my bag.

Like 2 good songs.

Quite uninspiring.

Generic rubbish

Not much for me here

Basket Case kann ich komplett mitsingenden und auch sonst viel Wiedererkennungswert. Hab mich auf dieses Album in gefreut, zu es auch beim Hören des mit viel Pop Appeal vorgetragenen Ami Punk Rock. Eine recht eindeutige 3, klare Sache dachte ich. Dennoch wäre dies nur Nostalgie. Die Songs kommen zwar knackig aber auch monoton durch die Boxen. OR: I am too old for this fun. Verjährte 2.4

When I come around is good. The rest is meh. Not a fan.

Not much going on. Singles stand out but only a little past the monotone

This album is by no means perfect. I do wish there was more done with the instrumental sections on this album. Especially early on there are a couple songs that seem to be leading up to a big moment that never really comes. Chump is practically begging for a bass solo by the end (it is a great transition into Longview though). That being said when everything comes together on Dookie the album is untouchable. Longview, Welcome to Paradise and Basket Case are still absolute bangers ever after my 100th time hearing them. Pop-punk as we know it probably does not exist without those 3 songs. But like most home-run hitters this album strikes out quite a bit. The three tracks towards the end (that altogether are just barely over 5 minutes) really seem to just be here to pad out the run time. This album is still fun but do yourself a favor and after When I Come Around is over skip to F.O.D. Favorite Songs: Burnout, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, All By Myself

Not a fan A few good songs on there

Punk rock. Feels a lot like the rebellious emotions of the band are poured out as songs, which evidently resonate with a lot of people because the album is very popular. I did not resonate as much, and I did not enjoy it that much.

Not my style

Awful punk for, and apparently written by, 12 year olds who are mad at their parents. It was bad when it came out, it's bad now.

I know I am biased at this point, but there is nothing I enjoy here. Not for me

no lo escuche sorry

Over rated

Truthfully I could not even finish this one bro.

There’s something about this artist that bothers me a lot. I wasn’t aware of this phenomenon until I listened to their TWO albums in this list! Two? Of all the artists.. these guys have two already in the top 1001? If a third album comes up I’ll happily take my eardrums out, grate them over a plate of nachos and eat them myself- that’s considered a swifter death, rather than putting them through the torture of listening to more green day. How can two green day albums be now inside my brain when I haven’t heard anything from Cher or Britney Spears yet. Take a day off billy.

not for me

trash

Stinky

this reminded me how my highschool bf would get so mad that i didnt like green day the album name does truly say it all

A good pop punk album. Not my cup of tea but I can see where their popularity stems from.

Dreary commercial “punk”.

the worst part of the 90s

doopie

No me gustó

SoCal Ramones - Not my cuppa.

14/03/2026 1. burnout - not massive on his vocals... why does every american singer from the 90s sound so whiny?? 2. having a blast - guitar is nice, but i'm really not a fan of the vocals. 3. chump - same as the last one really... just don't really care about it. 4. longview - like the fade in with the drums. bass is really nice as well. cannot like his voice. 5. welcome to paradise - sounds nice (even though i hate the vocals, they're not bad), but is just really boring for me! 6. pulling teeth - jesus christ i really cannot stand his whiny, nasally voice... sounds like an american frank sidebottom. an instrumental track may redeem this album. 7. basket case - im14andthisisdeep.... currently reading a 400 page pdf on the history of cyanotypes which is somehow more entertaining than this shit. 8. she - same as the rest of the bloody songs... 9. sassafras roots - over halfway through.... lyrics are sweet. don't like anything else about it! 10. when i come around - nice distorted guitar. cannot fault the instruments, but just reeeaaalllly not my thing i guess? 11. coming clean - jesus christ i thought smashing pumpkins was whiny.... 12. emenius sleepus - why does every song sound the same!! proto-emo shit! 13. in the end - so glad these songs are fairly short..... 14. f.o.d - like the beat drop i guess? still wouldn't listen to it again. 15. all by myself - knowing this will end in less than two minutes is the most relief i have ever felt in my whole life. how has it gotten worse???? thank god this is over. one of the most boring albums i have ever had the misfortune of listening to. every song sounds the same and that sound is one of the most irritating things i have ever heard. like a fly that won't fucking shut up. just a reallly shit version of buzzcocks!!!!! justice for pop punk!!!

Trifft leider überhaupt meinem Geschmack, green day hat aus meiner Sicht diesen "Highschool, endlich Ferien, ich hol dich ab im caprio und wir fahren am den See" vibe und in dem Rahmen würde ich mir die Musik vll auch Mal 15minuten geben, aber selbst für solche Anlässe gibt es bessere Kandidat*innen, z.B. Blink 182 mit dem Album "Enema of the State".

Not a big fan of their music. All music to me sounds the same.

Suffered through the Green Day craze when it happened. Hard pass.

it doesnt even deserves 1 rating. below 1 below 0.0 worst thing i heard. disney music.

Dookie

Won't listen, I can not stand Greenday even when they were good. I have listened to this album in the past it was mid at best.

Ugh. 1

Hectic, scream

Not for me... Sorry Kate

Listened to this over two different occasions, coincidentally while shitting my brains out. Took me until I finished the album to realise the album name fit my predicament

I don’t know what it is, Green Day should be a band I love but I’ve always strongly disliked. Maybe it’s the voice, maybe it’s the deep seated trauma of them being constantly on repeat during my first job - this album lives up to its name.

Never liked Green Day and still don't. Welcome to Paradise was the only somewhat interesting song on here, but the rest all sounds the same. Not a fan

Not for me.

Poor

welcome to paradise e basket case, são ok. O resto eu não curti muito.

everything sounds the same

Booooring. Couldn't listen without skipping

Nope. Not even a little bit.

shite

Charli XCX’s Brat is much better

Not my kind of thing at all.

I just cant

Sounds like Busted and McFly.

green day hater

Not for me.

I can't do green day!

if I was a pubescent lad in 1994 perhaps I may have well been able to identify with this album, but it was not a sound or experience that I particular got to like & for another reminder in 2025 it actually sounds worse! Just sounds all a bit daft these days, trying to be rebellious but to me actually sounding a bit "American Pie" & childish....

I dont like green day 0/10

If you're a gen x'er who grew up with this album you'd might think it were good, but I didn't so I don't.

Soooo boring.

This makes me aggressive, and not in a good way.

Be quiet

Eh, the better punk album from 1994 is Rancid’s “Let’s Go” - Green Day still doesn’t really excite me. Pop punk and way too produced…

Not a green day fan

They suck

3.63 madonna quanto mi dà fastidio la voce di questo imbecille solo dio lo sa 1.5 per la nostalgia ma questo resta un 1 comunque

If your idea of paradise involves watering down the rebellious spirit of punk for mass consumption via a derivative sound and whiny vocals, welcome to it.

I’ve never purposefully listened to Green Day in my life.

Boring, wet pseudo punk

Green day are Not for me

I put so many Green Day songs on my playlists. I skip them every single time. Green Day reminds me of my dad and so I think it holds a special sentiment to me, the idea of it. But in reality I don’t like them at all.

Lots of noise

Pseudo punk. Pop punk. Fake punk. Plain and simple

Liked Song Basket Case

No lo escuché

paia demais. green day muito ruim

Hate Green Day

If starting every track with the drums in the left channel before smashing out a 2 chord strum whilst shouting is your thing. Enjoy. For me, could manage any track for more than 15 seconds. Next…..

Wasn't a fan. An hour of the same song going over and over again with the same riffs and with the same dreadful singing. Maybe I want part of that generation when they were huge but none of their music stood out to me.

Childish posturing obviously, as we learned about them.

Didn't like any songs on this album

I absolutely hate Green Day. Always have, Always will.

Punk

bad

Visste ikke at jeg genuint mislikte Green Day, But this shit suuucks…. Èn låt her folk har hørt, resten er bare kjedelig, whiny, tam pop-punk. Gjesp/10

Aldri likt Greenday noe særlig og dette overbeviste meg ikke heller. Syntes det bare er sytete, gjentakende og en mer shallow versjon av movementen som kom før, med feks Ramones, som jeg heller ikke likte, haha.

Teen angst rock. Bleurgh.

i fucking hate green day im not listening to green day every song on this album sounds the same i fucking hate green day

Not a must-have album

Passed me by, with the exception of the two big singles ...don't understand the hype tbh

I don't like green day shitty punk pop rock poop

Tämä tuntui kuin olisi syönyt lusikallisia samaa harmaata puuroa yksi toisensa jälkeen. Meniköhän levy vain jotenkin ohi minulta? Vain Basket Case jää mieleen, vaikka en siitä erityisesti pidäkään. Ei riitä.

I was never a big fan of Green Day

Yank Wank

Kinda sick of green day - it's on rotation too much on the radio and I just can't anymore

Not interesting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-Zvvtvibl0 Was I here? I plea the 5th. This album, as much as any other on this list, deserves 5 stars. But this album also destroyed any chance of rock shows, much less free rock shows, to be had on the hatch shell. I mean, who the hell flips over porta-potties? Insanity. So my vote here is in protest that if Dookie hadn't come out, we'd still have rock shows at the Hatch Shell.

Every song sounds the same. Overrated.

God this is the pits. Generic, dreary, it all sounds the same rock. Awful.

1 unmemorable

Shmeh. Don't like Greenday. Skimmed through. All their songs sound the same.

Not a Green Day fan, their live shows are cool though.

Synthetic punk, They were to the nineties what The Foo Fighters are to today. At one point you couldn't turn on your radio, T.V. without seeing or hearing them somewhere. Urban punk for those that wouldn't invest the time in listening to real punk bands. Billie Joe Armstrong as some kind of spokesman? I think not. Perhaps the dumbest move made by the R&R Hall Of Fame was having Mr. Armstrong giving the inauguration speech for The Stooges.

Bad album...sleepy, all the songs sound the same

high points only insofar as I recognize stuff from like radio play. not really a fan overall though

Not my tempo dnl

This album was absolute Dookie

Sounds terrible. Just annoying guy talking.

Har glemt hvor intenst hat jeg har mot denne ekle formen for "high school punk". Kjenner jeg blir litt kvalm hver gang jeg hører starten på basket case. Hadde gitt 0 stjerner, hvis det hadde vært mulig.

Wow that was even worse than I wad even expecting it to be. Every song sounded the same, and it was a shitty sound to begin with.

Well, they really jump right into it don't they? Buy a girl a drink first, for pete's sake. Every song sounds the same. This is not my kind of music. Sorry.

dookie

queer gay

The only Green Day album I can stomach. That's something, yeah?

Brilliant

Good nostalgia
