Episode • Aug 10, 2020 • 2h 14m

One  of the most influential, most successful, most widely-known, and one of  Adam's Top 20 albums of all time, 'American Idiot' by Green Day, is  what we're highlighting in this track-by-track review of a modern  classic. Sixteen years after the album first released, we look at the  album's complex and layered themes of existentialism, repressed rage,  and lost love and dissect each song piece by piece to discover whether  or not the message and the album as a whole holds up going into the new  decade. It gets emotional in this one, so we hope you're ready to join  us on this feels-trip. Please enjoy!

Also  on the episode this week; we share the brief news of new music coming  our way from both The Menzingers and even AFI; Adam catches us up on the  state of the MLB going into week 2; and we share some quick thoughts on  other albums we listened to this week from Bad Religion, Make Them  Suffer, Broadside, Good Tiger, Colour In The Clouds, Misery Signals, and  Creeper.

Thanks  again for spending some time with us this week! We hope you enjoyed it  and we hope that you'll join us in the coming weeks for more album  reviews, both new and classic!
