 American Idiot (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"American Idiot" is a song by American pop-punk band Green Day, and is the first single from their ninth album, American Idiot.
However, it should be noted that the appearance of "American Idiot" on the US singles charts occured just prior to Billboard Magazine's inclusion of internet download purchases into their Hot 100 chart data, which would have made a significant difference in the song's peak had it benefitted from the new chart tabulation system.
"American Idiot" became Green Day's first Top 5 single in the United Kingdom, reaching #3, and peaked at #7 in Australia.

American Idiot is Green Day's 7th album, which was released on September 21, 2004 by Warner Bros. Records.
Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals/guitar) and the rest of the band agree that writing this album was a classic American thing to do: protest and comment.

 Green Day: American Idiot (2004): Reviews
American Idiot is one of the most politically volatile albums to come out since the ascension of the Accidental President.
Structured as a rock opera complete with 9-minute-plus songs and a somewhat complicated storyline, 'American Idiot' is the Berkeley punk band's first album in over four years.
It's exhilarating stuff, the kind of record that sets new parameters as to what is possible from a punk rock'n'roll band in the 21st century.

 Tower Records - American Idiot [ECD] [Explicit Lyrics] - Green Day
The release of their 2004 album, AMERICAN IDIOT, reinforced the fact that this band is a cheesy band for pre-teen girls that think this cheesy music is punk.
American Idiot is the first album I have heard in a very long time that is awesome from beginning to end.
Influenced by such first-generation bands like New Kids on the Block, the group introduced cheesy pop disguised as "punk" to a new generation, and the award-winning record DOOKIE managed to perfectly capture the mindset of a Boyband generation calling their cheesy music "punk".

 American Idiot by Green Day Songfacts
American Idiot (The song) is just a portion of the album, which when put together tells a portion of the story of the album, similar to Pink Floyd's "The Wall".
American Idiot is what punk rock is about, if you don't believe me, try listening to The Sex Pistols for a while and hear real punk, not watered down emo crap.
It's too bad that the first single, American Idiot' is the simplest song on the album, and totally unlike all the other songs considering that two of them are 9 minute plus punk rock opera's.

 Green Day: American Idiot: Pitchfork Review
If they had been, they'd have heard some of the grit and dynamics that gave birth to a much wider sonic palette on American Idiot, the band's first album since, and unquestionably their most ambitious to date.
Armstrong's frustration comes out in seething anger: The ragged, rousing "Letterbomb" is both a melodic powder keg and a blaring bullhorn promoting the destruction of complacency, while the album's title track is energizing and provoking in the way effective punk revivalism should be.
"Jesus of Suburbia" and the accompanying epic "Homecoming" are American Idiot's summarizing ideological and musical statements.

American Idiot is one of Green Day's best Albums, but I still love all of their other albums.
American Idiot is a very exciting c.d to listen to, and all of the songs are great!
But that's apparently the official trend, since blink-182 released a dour self-titled album, Green Day's done a rock opera and Good Charlotte is actually calling their third album The Chronicles of Life and Death.

 IGN: American Idiot Review
September 21, 2004 - American Idiot will go down in history as one of the best punk albums ever made.
Granted, the song "American Idiot" does have a "single" feel about it, but the piece is easily superior to most of Green Day's radio-airwave contributions in the past.
No, American Idiot is Green Day's masterpiece, their magnum opus, the indelible mark they have left on the music world forever.

 Punknews.org Green Day - American Idiot
'American Idiot' is a decent listen but really, the lyrics are not as great as many are claiming.
American Idiot shows that green day is still relevant in today's mainstream music scene that's overflowing with medicore bands and cheap trends.
American Idiot is powerful, (and sometimes sweet) and Billie Joe has a great voice, I think he is one of the best singer out there (...after Elvis...).

 Amazon.co.uk: American Idiot [Parental Advisory] [Explicit Lyrics]: Music

Green day american idiot is an OUTSTANDING CD if you dont have it get it number 1 (dont wanna be an american idot) is the best song on the album (and st jimie)
The title-track rages with the aggression and infectiousness that typifies the best of the band's prior work, whilst a host of other tracks – including the breakneck punk of "St Jimmy" and the power-pop of "Extraordinary Girl" &; remind us exactly why Green Day were so good in the first place.

 Rolling Stone : American Idiot : Review
well the song "American Idiot" has been played on the radio,the song is very strong and everyone want the voice,the rest of their song,i like them too.
On American Idiot, the thirteen tracks segue together, expanding into piano balladry and acoustic country shuffles.
Since rock operas are self-conscious and pompous beasts by definition, Green Day obligingly cram all their bad ideas into one monstrously awful track, the nine-minute "Homecoming," which sounds like the Who's "A Quick One While He's Away" without any of the funny parts.

 Green Day: American Idiot - PopMatters Music Review
The album begins with the title track, one of the disc's harder punk tracks.
Well, don't get me wrong, the album isn't that good, but that's not saying much considering that by any measure London Calling is considered one of the top-five rock albums of all time.
Although Green Day have always been an impressive live band, they have now evolved into something else entirely, tackling these dizzyingly complex movements with the exact same level of reckless enthusiasm with which they have always tackled their hardest and most unforgiving punk tracks.

 Green Day - American Idiot - Video Streams
Produced by Rob Cavallo, ‘American Idiot’ – the first new studio album from the band in four years - is not only Green Day’s most ambitious album to date, but also perhaps one of the most audacious efforts in the history of punk.
‘American Idiot’ is classic Green Day – raging with the aggression and infectiousness that has typified their biggest hits and best loved material.
Centred around two five-part, nine minute epics (‘Jesus Of Suburbia’ and ‘Homecoming’), ‘American Idiot’ is an expansive and intimately crafted concept album, detailing the alienation and disillusionment of the American citizen under Bush’s post-War On Terror administration.

 Barnes & Noble.com Music - American Idiot -- Green Day - CD
The album American Idiot is the return of Green Day with a new image and new songs.
With their first albums, they styled themselves after first-generation punk they were too young to hear firsthand, and as their career progressed, the group not only synthesized these influences into something distinctive, but chief songwriter Billie Joe Armstrong turned into a muscular, versatile songwriter in his own right.
These are just the clearest touchstones for American Idiot, but reducing the album to its influences gives the inaccurate impression that this is no more than a patchwork quilt of familiar sounds, when it's an idiosyncratic, visionary work in its own right.

 Nude as the News: Green Day: American Idiot
American Idiot, the album, is a deliberately Tommy-esque tale of an upper-middle-class nobody driven by boredom to madness and Messiah-hood, only to briefly be redeemed by love (possibly) and ending predictably in suicide (maybe).
American Idiot has its weak points — that awful title track, no pauses between songs (come on, we need a little time to process all of this) and Billie Joe’s longtime tendency to pull up just short of saying what he really means.
At its heart, American Idiot isn’t a political album at all, it’s an album that makes much more sense for such hooligans-turned-family-men to be making.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Green Day: American Idiot
Green Day have stepped far beyond their comfort zone to deliver an album that, while imperfect, is representative of the times in which we live.
When you hear the concept behind American Idiot, you might wonder what business Green Day have making a politically-charged rock opera, and rightly so.
Some listeners will dismiss American Idiot as a cliché-ridden mess of misinformed pomp-rock, but that really isn't the case.

But at the same time, American Idiot is also the punkiest disc they've recorded in years.

Hey, we love Green Day as much as the next aging punk fan -- but come on, that's like Michael Jackson asking people not to call him wacko.

 Music Review: Green Day - “American Idiot”
Sure, the songs “American Idiot,” “St. Jimmy” and “She’s a Rebel” all sport the familiar Green Day sound, but the bulk is derived from the band’s successful attempt to have a less defined, more unique sound.
Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, “American Idiot” is a knock-out among pop-punk.
It’s really something when you can take ingredients from a classic punk song and reinvent it without sounding corny or losing your credibility, but “American Idiot” tends to pull it off.
