American Idiot

I have said, and I may have posted, that I thought Green Day's "American Idiot" was a let down. I think a large part of that is that I had very very high expectations - I was expecting the latest great rock-opera a'la Tommy, Dark Side of the Moon, and the New Album.

I was initially disapointed. I have continued, however, to keep it in rotation and it has grown on me. The latest greatest concept album? No - but still well worth having in the collection. It does rise to the level of being better than the sum of its singles.
