Wait... I never said it was better than Nimrod, I said best SINCE Nimrod (can't be better than Nimrod, that's by far their best.) The albums between Nimrod and AI were pretty pathetic, at least AI was more than half electric guitars...
And Insomniac isn't that good, Dookie and Nimrod are Green Day's best, and then AI, IMO. I don't really see how it's more simplistic, I think the songs are around the same, and they're as exciting and involving. I really thought AI was great, not their best, but much better than many of Green Day's Albums (Insomniac, Shenanigans or... Warning (ewww))
And why can't a pop punk band make a rock opera? Where is the pop-punk rule book that says 'no rock operas'? I mean, I think it was a bold step for them to try it and do something no one else has done.
Oh right, I remember the rule, punk can never innovate right?
