Green Day American Idiot - 20th Anniversary Red & Black Splatter Vinyl - Sealed UK 2-LP vinyl record set (Double LP Album)
|
Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
Green Day unleashed a tempest of sonic brilliance with their magnum opus, American Idiot. The year is 2004, and Green Day, fresh from a period of relative quiet, is about to ignite a revolution. Enter American Idiot, a high-octane, politically-charged punk opera that smashed through norms with electrifying fervor.
Fueled by lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong's fervent dissatisfaction with the political climate and a palpable desire to shake up the status quo, this album emerges as a blistering critique of American society and its media circus. The album follows the story of Jesus of Suburbia, a lower-middle class American adolescent anti-hero. The band used unconventional techniques for themselves, including transitions between connected songs and some long, chaptered, creative compositions presenting the album themes.
American Idiot became one of the most anticipated releases of 2004. It marked a career comeback for Green Day, charting in 27 countries, reaching for the first time the top spot on the Billboard 200 for the group and peaking at No. 1 in 18 other countries. It has sold more than 23 million copies worldwide, making it the second best-selling album for the band (behind their 1994 major-label debut, Dookie) and one of the best-selling albums of the decade and all time. It was later certified 6× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2013. The album spawned five successful singles: the titular track, "American Idiot," "Holiday," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Jesus of Suburbia" and the Grammy Award for Record of the Year winner "Boulevard of Broken Dreams."
Hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time, American Idiot was nominated for Album of the Year and won the award for Best Rock Album at the 2005 Grammy Awards.
