 Faded's recommendation | |
Nimrod is yet another Green Day classic that belongs in everyone's CD collection. Pulling slightly away from the novice style of Dookie, vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong challenges his voice and succeeds with flying colors. Starting with "Nice Guys Finish Last" and finishing strong with "Prosthetci Head" the witty humor is still there but the band surprised us all with the heart felt "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)". They pulled in the violins and dusted off the acoustic guitar to belt out this ballad with that bit of Green Day attitude we all know and love.
The lyrics are unique and relateable. They are true to life yet still portrayed with the perfect amount of humor to keep it all interesting. The thoughts we're all thinking are written in a creative way and it's all backed up with the amazingly simple yet perfectly fitting guitar parts played by Mike Durnt and Billie Joe Armstrong. And behind it all you can hear Tre Cool doing what he does best, slamming on that drum kit like there's no tomorrow.
So while mum and dad may disapprove of these foul mouthed rockers, it's a must for all who call themselves punk fans.
