Nimrod | |
| nimrod. (Music) | comment |
nimrod. is the fifth album by American punk rock band Green Day, released in October 1997.After the release of Insomniac (1995), which was seen as a critical and commercial disappointment compared to their breakthrough major-label debut Dookie (1994), the band embarked on a world tour for the album that had them playing sports arenas (as opposed to their usual small clubs) and spending uncomfortable amounts of time away from their families. This homesickness led the band to cancel the late 1996 European leg of the tour to finally spend time at home. In the wake of the cancellation, the band continued to write and had produced over 36 new songs come the start of 1997.nimrod. was made over a four-month span with the intent of being a collection of standalone songs instead of one cohesive album, since the band felt like they had driven their Three Chords and the Truth song structure into the ground. As a result, the album is easily the most experimental and diverse output in the band's discography, and perhaps even one of the most kaleidoscopic albums in the punk genre.The album sold over 10 million copies worldwide, and produced an unexpected Black Sheep Hit in the song "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)", which is now regarded as one of the band's most well-known songs (however infamously improperly used). | |

Genre Roulette | |
| nimrod. (Music) / int_4b1ca7d2 | comment |
Genre Roulette: Considering the album was purposely written to be experimental and as a set of standalone songs, the band combined many different genres from hardcore punk ("Platypus (I Hate You)," "Take Back") to ska punk ("King For A Day") to surf rock ("Last Ride In") to acoustic rock ("Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)") to folk punk ("Walking Alone") to even klezmer (the opening of "Hitchin' A Ride") to regular alternative rock ("Redundant," "Uptight," "Haushinka," etc.). | |

Mood Whiplash: "Platypus (I Hate You)", one of the most profane and aggressive Green Day songs ever made, is played right after the relatively mellow "Worry Rock". "Take Back", a punk-metal anger song, gets followed by the deliriously happy-sounding "King for a Day". | |

Precision F-Strike: "Worry Rock." Weezer's cover of the song censors the F-bomb to "hugged." On the album version of "Good Riddance" Billie Joe screws up the chords of the intro twice and lets out a quiet "fuck" before the third attempt. | |
