Green Day

Nimrod

Best album I've ever purchased.

Review Score:

(10/10)
Green Day has been probably one of the best selling bands of the last decade, and Nimrod, though not their biggest seller, is jam-packed with great songs, and nothing but. This is one of the few albums I have heard that I can honestly say that I love every song. "Nice Guys Finish Last" is a wonderfully catchy song, but not exactly parent friendly, followed by the slower "Hitchin' a Ride", the CD picks up again after this with a bouncy number, "The Grouch". "Redundant", though another potential hit, is the kind of song where the chorus is memorable, but it makes you mad because you can't remember the rest of song. After this, Track 5 is possibly one of the coolest songs on this CD, or that I've ever had stuck in my head. It's called "Scattered" and its filled with really neat harmonies that I still haven't mastered in my head. Track 6 is kind of a darker song, or so it sounds, but the next song, "Worry Rock" is another roller, where even if you don't play an instrument, you'll quickly learn how to pretend to. Track 8 and 10 are not the greatest. 10 is an instrumental, and 8 is a loud fast song. The best and most memorable song has to be "Good Riddance (Time of your Life)". Another, though disturbing, is "King for a Day" with some neat trumpets and trombones. "Prosthetic Head" is a very underappreciated songs. Nobody listens to it because its at the end of the CD. All the others are pretty good, but Green Day will have to work hard to top this, and From the looks of Warning, Green Day may finally have found what their looking for.
