I've never considered myself a Green Day fan, that was until today. I decided to purchase American Idiot after hearing American Idiot and Wake Me When September Ends on the radio for the lat few weeks. The album is brilliant, truly is. The progression is amazing, almost a modern punk take on the story of the Prodigal Son, the fall, self-destruction, realization, and finally homecoming. Brilliantly done this album is, probably win everything at the next Grammy.
