| A rock opera done right; many of these songs are the best of their career. The archetypal plot of the Jesus of Suburbia, St. Jimmy and Whatsername is enigmatic enough to keep the album interesting. Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Are We The Waiting and September Ends are great ballads, while rockers like Jesus of Suburbia, Holiday, and Homecoming show the band's trademark ability to write memorable hits based on 4 power chords or less. |
