American punk bands who try to sound English always amuse the hell out of me. On the flip ‘Macy’s Day Parade’ shows a mellower side to the boys, but fear not, you also get a cracking live version of ‘Basket Case’. ‘Waiting’ is a pleasantly energetic little workout that breaks into Petula Clark’s house and steals the melody line from ‘Downtown’. Green Day have a 19-track greatest hits package due for Christmas. I’m just mentioning it…

Green Day: “Welcome To Paradise”(Reprise)

1994-11-02

I don't know whether the labyrinthine beauty and complexity of contemporary dance music has trained my ear into high expectations, but nowadays rock, pop and punk has to be top class for me to find it remotely interesting. And I'm afraid this latest offering from Green Day – their first album in three years – just doesn't cut the mustard.
