However, with the benefit of hindsight, I can now see that it's not as good as I thought. It's not that there aren't great songs on the cd, because there are, it's just the "social" issues if you will that detract from the records' magic. It feels now that now Green Day has "all of a sudden" become this massive mainstream worldwide phenomenon (not that they weren't before - remember Dookie?!) image conformity, and the tapping into of the emo market has somewhat destroyed some of the love I had for the band (Warning was fantastic). Green Day need a smart move with their next recording, ie. go back to being a fun band.
