Green Day

Reprise, 1997

REVIEW BY: Eric Warburg

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 10/28/2005

What IS a nimrod? Is it something you call an idiot? Or a littleknown hunter from the book of Genesis? Actually, it's both ofthose. And it's also one hell of a CD.

Green Day's third major-label release (and fifth overall) marksthe beginning of the Nor-Cal punk band's transition from "All ByMyself" to "Whatsername." This album is mixed with their trademarkimmature songs ("The Grouch," "Platypus") and songs showing theirgrowth into the band we know today ("Good Riddance," "Worry Rock.")This album shift gears as often as Elizabeth Taylor changeshusbands, yet manages to keep it steady enough to make itthrough.

Nimrod starts off with a classic Green Day song, "Nice GuysFinish Last," which gives way to "Hitchin' A Ride," which startseerie and ends as a head-bobbing scream-along. Next is "TheGrouch," with such memorable lines as "Glory days don't mean shitto me / I drank a six-pack of apathy," and "Oh my God, I'm turningout like me dad!"

"Scattered," "All The Time" and "Worry Rock" are where you beginto see Billie Joe Armstrong's new musical and lyrical style begin.He is no longer about laughing in other people's faces, singingabout teenage boredom and the things that go with it (think"Longview"). He moves forward in the direction that wouldeventually blossom into American Idiot.
