Green Day Release Vinyl & CD 20th Anniversary Box Sets Of American Idiot On 25th October 2024

Green Day's American Idiot has become an iconic album in the history of punk rock and a defining piece of 2000s music culture. Released in September 2004, this album marked a major creative leap for the band, featuring a punk rock opera format that tells the story of characters like Jesus of Suburbia and St. Jimmy, while addressing themes of disillusionment, rebellion, and the political climate of the time.

 

This reissue celebrates not only the album's commercial success—having sold over 23 million copies worldwide—but also its critical acclaim, including winning the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 2005. The album produced five major singles: "American Idiot," "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "Holiday," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," and the epic "Jesus of Suburbia," each of which contributed to the album's enduring legacy.
