Green Day

International Superhits!

International Superstars

Review Score:

(8/10)
Don't get me wrong, this long-awaited LP is fantastic. Green Day are one of the few bands of today who actually deserve a 'greatest hits' album. The only problem with this is that it's ever-so-slightly commercial. When this was released people who had never even heard of Green Day before were suddenly calling themselves their biggest fans. The truth is, you can't judge them by this. 'International Superhits' just doesn't relate to the brilliance of some of their earlier material.

Despite this, it does feature classic anthems that most people interested in buying will know. 'Basket Case' and 'Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)' are Green Day's two biggest 'superhits' (in the UK anyway). The album also features classics such as 'Longview' as well as the recently-released 'Waiting' plus two completely new tracks.

In my opinion the best tracks on this album by far are 'When I Come Around' and 'She'. I personally consider them to be classics. However I must admit that I was slightly disappointed. Although this LP features every one of Green Day's singles since they signed up with 'Reprise', plus some other songs,it misses out an awful lot of their best music. Nevertheless, for any Green Day fan, new or old, this is a must-have collection of music. Don't miss it.
