Millions of fans are buying, downloading and listening to Green Day's latest album, American Idiot.
The album is bold and visionary, communicating a range of emotions
through the album's namesake protagonist that relates directly to the
current cultural and political scene in this country. For the
second time in their career, their record has hit number one. So it was
no surprise when the group took home the Viewers Choice Award for
American Idiot. But it’s not just teenagers and 20-somethings that are
rallying around the group’s sound and politics. Critics are cheering
the group’s latest release, and on August 28, Green Day won seven
awards at the Video Music Awards.

Hear what the Critics have to Say:
"In its musical muscle and sweeping, politically charged narrative, it's something of a masterpiece, and one of the few - if not the only - records of 2004 to convey what it feels like to live in the strange, bewildering America of the early 2000s." --All Music Guide
"Not only does it contain Green Day’s finest songs (and choruses) to date... but it also scratches at the surface of political dissatisfaction with nails sharp enough to leave a nasty scar." --Dot Music
"American Idiot screams at us to do something, anything - a wake-up call from those were once shared our apathy." --Pitchfork
