Yeah, that's exactly the part. I wonder if it was intentional, because
really, it's absolutely spot-on.
Never thought I would say this about a full Green Day album -- although
they're a consummate singles band (anyone who claims to be a pop-punk fan
and doesn't own INTERNATIONAL SUPERHITS is only fooling themselves), their
albums have always been wildly uneven -- but AMERICAN IDIOT is really
remarkably good all the way through.
