CD cover.

American Idiot is the seventh studio album by Green Day. It was released on 2004-09-01 on CD and produced by Rob Cavallo and Green Day and published by Reprise. The album has a pop punk and alternative rock sound with the songs forming a semi-cohesive narrative often described as a rock opera.

I bought this album around 2005, after it had already become popular and received a lot of airplay. I was enjoying the songs, and enjoyed them even more when I could listen to them at my leisure. In particular, I really enjoy the anti-authoritarianism of the songs.

Status

I own this album on CD.
