'Dookie' is described as a pop punk album and it is, and it inhabits the best of both pop and punk. The band still retain the fierce kinetic energy of the punk scene that they were born out of. Like the pummelling power chords at the end of 'F.O.D' or the slamming guitars and drums on the chorus of 'Longview'. The brash and abrasive spirit of Green Day's roots are here. As well as the pop, like the super catchy hooks of 'She' or 'Coming ... read more
'nimrod.' shows a creative explosion by Green Day from the fustration of their reception on 1995's 'Insomniac', it is the sound of a band letting loose and allowing themselves to create and experiment.

The band also can throw out a really beautiful pop hook like the energetic 'Suck It And See' and 'That’s Where You're Wrong'. A highlight here is ... read more
With the sublime quality and mountain of ideas that was in 'OK Computer' it's not suprising that Radiohead has piles of unreleased material for the album, and on 'OKNOTOK 2017' much of it was released/remastered. The first 3 songs are unreleased classics, and they all could have easily fit on 'OK Computer'. 'I Promise' is an ethereal power ballad, with its driving acoustic guitar and drum beat providing a backbeat for some beautiful strings and ... read more
