| | Green Day Kerplunk! CD Green Day Discography of CDs
 (4 Customer Reviews)
All lyrics written by Billie Joe except "Dominated Love Slave" (Tre) and "My Generation" (The Who).
In many ways Green Day's first "proper" album--the debut 1039/SMOOTHED OUT SLAPPY HOURS was stitched together from multiple sessions and didn't feature the definitive lineup with drummer Tre Cool--KERPLUNK is an early-1990s milestone. One listen to this album makes it clear why Green Day, rather than any of their Bay Area peers, were the band that won the major-label lottery; they were simply better than the vast majority of their contemporaries. This record's version of "Welcome to Paradise," while rougher than the eventual hit single from 1994's DOOKIE, is only one of several clearly brilliant pop songs delivered with an approach that's part Buzzcocks, part Go-Go's, mixing sharply drawn neuroses and sweet pop hooks. "Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?" and the downright sweet "2000 Light Years Away," an unabashed love song to the woman who singer Billie Joe Armstrong would soon marry, are just as good. This edition also adds the four-song SWEET CHILDREN EP, which includes a brash cover of the Who's "My Generation."
Recorded at Art Of Ears Studio, San Francisco, California in May and September 1991.
Green Day: Billy Joe (guitar, vocals); Mike (bass); Tre Cool (drums).
Additional personnel: Al Sobrante (drums).

Throughout, he rails at the moribund state of youth culture and his place in it, as bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool speed up this anger to a frenetic pace. The disses fly every which way--at well-to-doers copping poses ("Brat"), at girlfriends who just don't understand ("Stuart And The Ave."), towards the world at-large ("Panic Song"), and, most of all, at himself. As though aware that his band helped make a sacred lifestyle fashionable, Billie Joe demeans his existence in song after song--unable to even sleep in peace with himself. For the disenfranchised listener, these are the ABCs of self-hate rebellion.
Judging from the catchiness of his songs, this predicament isn't likely to end soon. "Geek Stink Breath," a heavy, mid-tempo rumble in the manner of the Sex Pistols' "Sub-Mission"; "Panic Song," with its frenzied "Pinball Wizard"-like build-up, and the fired-up, pop fury of "All Wound Up," all embody the very principals that make the punk lessons of 1977 so attractive today: simplicity, hooks, a lack of pretension, and a disdain for authority. On INSOMNIAC, Green Day puts those lessons to use yet again--their platinum nightmares are sure to follow.

| | Green Day Nimrod CD (1997)
Kerplunk! CD music
$8.89 
All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.
Green Day's infectious brand of thrashy power-pop is full of references to the generation of punk which preceded them, with adenoidal vocals spinning tales of youthful angst against a backdrop of hard, fast riffs. The difference, of course, is that Green Day is having more fun than the Buzzcocks would ever have admitted to. NIMROD catches the band updating their sound while holding onto the speed and recklessness that made their previous albums so exciting.
Touches like the atmospheric, flanged guitars of "Redundant" and the violin on "Hitchin' A Ride" and "Last Ride In," (courtesy of That Dog's Petra Haden) help to take the band in a new, more serious direction. Lest anyone fear that this expansion ...

Kerplunk! music CDs
$6.25 
SHENANIGANS compiles b-sides, an import-only release, and vinyl single cuts recorded during sessions for the band's studio albums. It also contains one previously unreleased song.
Serving as the perfect companion compilation to 2001's INTERNATIONAL SUPERHITS! collection, SHENANIGANS delivers an assortment of rarities, B-sides, covers, and previously unreleased material. Throughout this 14-track anthology, it's easy to hear how Green Day was able to successfully make the transition from scruffy skate-punks to unofficial heads of the nouveau-punk movement that became the mainstream in the mid-'90s. Staccato riffs, hooks aplenty, and lots of harmonizing are just part of the engine that drives cuts like the thunderous "Suffocate," the relentlessly driving "I Want To Be On T.V." and the pogo-worthy workout that is the previously unreleased "Ha Ha You're Dead."
Surprises include the ambling ...
| | Green Day American Idiot CD (2004)
Kerplunk! songs
$11.39
Rock opera and punk are usually two mutually exclusive musical styles. Then again, Green Day has never followed any rock rulebook, so it's not entirely surprising that the trio crafted a punk-rock opera that takes the Bush administration and its policies to task. It doesn't get any more pointed than a couplet from the frenetic title cut that states, "I'm not a part of a redneck agenda/Now everybody do the propaganda!"
Under the guidance of any other group of agitated punks, the results of such an undertaking could easily become didactic. But with creative spearhead Billie Joe Armstrong at the helm, AMERICAN IDIOT is melodically driven, with the kind of intellectual bent that allows ...

| | Green Day 1039/Smooothed Out Slappy Hours. CD (1991) Reissue
Kerplunk! CD music
$8.65
The limited-edition version of this release includes a t-shirt and sticker pack.
When Green Day's first album appeared, anyone predicting that fame, MTV, top-selling albums, and more would be on the horizon in the near future would have been happily patted on the head and then sent to the insane asylum. It helps to remember that Nirvana's breakthrough was still a year away, for one thing, and, for another, 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hour isn't a truly great album in the first place. It's not bad, by any means, and quite arguably just about everything on it could be transposed with a slight aural tweak here and there to Dookie or Insomniac without anyone batting an eye. It's just little more than a fun punk-pop album with some entertaining metallic flash here and there, one of many such records that the late '80s and early '90s produced in the indie ...

| | Golem Dream Weaver CD (2006) (Import) Bonus Tracks; Gold; 24 Bit Remastered; Digipak; Germany
Kerplunk! CD music
$14.59
Titling a death metal album Dreamweaver doesn't exactly strike fear in the hearts of millions (visions of Gary Wright come to mind), but Golem doesn't exactly play by the rules all the time. Although the German band's third album wears its Morbid Angel and later-period Carcass influences on its sleeve, it isn't wholly derivative, or a whirling blur of atonal riffs and nonsensical changes like most run-of-the-mill death metal albums. In fact, Golem's sound is more ornate, intricate and progressive than most bands flexing their genre muscles, even if initial spins of Dreamweaver fail to impress. Certainly, unraveling the mysteries of this album isn't without its rewards -- the fluid lead guitars, occasional melodic flourishes, and complex arrangements are strengths; see "Al-Ghanor," "Diaspora" and "Tomb" -- even if Golem exists in an overstuffed European metal bracket, and will therefore struggle to define itself as unique. And while the songs here are respectable -- excellent in some cases -- the production is crisp and performances are admirable, there are dozens of Euro-death acts more worthy of attention. Faint praise, yes, but Dreamweaver doesn't necessarily warrant condemnation or acclaim; it's ...
