Green Day

Editor's Review:

If you are a Green Day fan, I do not need to say much, for it sounds the same as always. However, what is it about Green Day that makes them so popular? So fun to listen to? Is it the same three chords they use; the ones, when played, you immediately recognize for being straight Green Day? No way, Green Day's draw is their message - the words that punch through their melodic rut and into the mainstream of good music. They have amazing lyrics that make you sit make and say, "What?! That is exactly how I feel!" One song on Warning: is damn impressive. It is called "Misery." It starts out with an organ playing a soft tune, the guitar starts strumming as the drums begin a light tap, Billie Joe starts singing a simple tune, but the mixture of all these soft sounds and Billie Joe's voice creates an atmosphere of mystery; it's a story, well told and well played. This song is still distinctly Green Day, but totally different than anything on the album. As for the other songs, you hear the Green sound, just with new lyrics. It is as fast as ever, just those three familiar chords…
