Green Day Dookie Album Review 
by Peko4
slang term for human feces. The album was retitled after the original title, "Liquid Dookie," was
deemed too obscene for mainstream audiences.
It was released in 1994 as their major label debut for Reprise Records
and became a sensation among
the American mainstream, causing considerable controversy in the punk
community, with many critics
claiming the band had sold out. With singles like "When I Come
Around", "Basket Case" and "Longview"
all going to #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, Dookie was
propelled to #2 on the Billboard
200 album chart.
The songs on Dookie blend fast and slow punk and included a transition
between "Chump" and
"Longview" that some see as an inspiration for the rock opera
of 2004's American Idiot.
Dookie's first single, "Longview", refers to boredom-induced
masturbation. Tré Cool's drum lead
and Billie Joe Armstrong's fast fretwork evoke The Damned's "New
Rose" and features a trademark Mike
Dirnt bassline.
Dookie won a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. It is placed
as number 100 on Rolling
Stones list of the The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It was also
placed as #10 on MuchMoreMusic
Top 40 Greatest Albums Of The Past 25 Years in 2005. With a diamond
certification, Dookie has sold
12.6 million units as of August 2006 in the US alone, making it the
best selling punk album of all
time,and 0ver 19 milion records over the world.album who changed the
music in punk and rock.
