Not least thanks to MTV and the creative genius video for "Basket Case," in which the band miming an insane asylum inmates, this plate became world famous in 1994. Green Day float on the wave of the punk revival, and they do it with passion. One-two-three-four power chord-songs with charming, unpretentious lyrics help this plate in the top chart regions. Green Day are not afraid of clichés, cocky and disrespectful to all musical shortcomings despite explain your personal philosophy in the world, "having a blast" (a great time have), that's the only thing that counts for the Americans. A plate for eternity? Certainly not, but for a beach party with beer and good mood just the right background music - even five years after the punk revival.
