Sleeve M; Vinyl M. American Idiot is Green Day's seventh studio album, originally released on September 21, 2004, through Reprise Records. This punk rock opera marked a significant evolution in the band's sound and thematic ambition, addressing political disillusionment and youth angst in post-9/11 America. The album features standout tracks like "American Idiot," "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "Holiday," and the nine-minute suite "Jesus of Suburbia." A top quality double album that seems just as relevant today!
