Free Music Notes for Nimrod
Free Music Review: Diversity is the spice of music, even with Green Day!
Hit: 5 Stars
Some bands have become successful by sticking to one formula and using it with each album, because they have a certain sound you can never really tire of. Green Day is essentially one of those bands, but on "Nimrod" they really show how great they can sound by spicing up their songs with different sounds.
Of course we have timeless Green Day anthems like "Nice Guys Finish Last", "The Grouch" and "Prosthetic Head", but then we get to other great songs on the album. There's a cool little violin intro on "Hitchin' A Ride" which is a super-sexy swinging anthem about drinking. Then we have the classic, acoustic ballad of "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)". Nothing really needs to be said about that song because basically everybody knows it. But THEN we get a real treat, the instrumental, hypnotic, three-minute "Last Ride In". It's got such a late-night, relaxed California sound to it, it's dazzling.
Well that's basically a brief run-through of some of the songs. Honestly, all the songs on here are really good and I definitely recommend getting this album for more great Green Day. Plus, it'll give you a chance to hear how they can experiment and still maintain their classic sound. Thanks for the time, and peace!
Nimrod Poster
Nimrod came along two years after 1995's Insomniac and was the first indication of Green Day's willingness to stretch the boundaries of punk rock. The fullness of the record is first hinted at on "Hitchin' a Ride," which starts out chug-a-lugging and then breaks into a raging rocker."Redundant" is accented with some psyched-out guitar work and has Billie Joe Armstrong singing a good deal more than usual. The wonderful "Platypus (I Hate You)" speed-rocks with abandon and recalls the early days of L.A. punk (a little Dickies here, a little Descendents there). The biting "Take it Back" is a snarling throwback to hard punk, and "Prosthetic Head" is an infectious ditty that counts among the very best on the album. Most surprising is "Last Ride In," an instrumental nod to the sensual surf-and-sun life. Of course, the crown jewel of the collection is the sentimental, acoustic "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," which seemed nearly inescapable when it was released. Beyond these standouts, even the "usual" Green Day fare here has punch. --Lorry FlemingAlternative Rock Music CDs
