your an idiot if you don't give every green day album 5 stars
If U don't your probably just redneck hicks chompin on your straw and listening to your country hillbilly stench!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Shut it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or maybe your just sittin on your porch wavin your steel around screamin " U don't want dis" than blowin each others heads off and cryin at their funerals right before u head to jail' Watch out ! Blahhhhhhhhhhhh whatta life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or maybe your actually one of the ones who gave a 5 star review to this and every green day album . like i said your idiots if you do not 5 star every green day album . yes their new stuff is different but if u actually listen to the green day albums and not just the songs that make it on the radio and on that channel uhmmmmmm what is that music channel oh yea u mean that channel that just has useless reality shows besides music uhm RTV oh i mean MTV, jesus god help me . anyway let me cotinue : u would be aware that every album has some changes that have led up to 21st century breakdown , and i would imagine that the next album will continue to have these brilliant changes as the band grows with age and wisdom . so u non 5 star wastes, if u haven't got it yet then just pull out your steel pull up your pants , spit the straw out of your mouth and turn up your MTV / CMT and pull that trigger so you can drink the muddy 5th of JACK DANIELS that was pored out on your grave.

THANKS .

Sloppy
This album is full of sloppy guitar and the same drum beats time after time, and almost every song they sing about love. 1039/Smoothed Out, Slappy Hours, the name is even bad. If you can agree I think we have heard enough love songs for awhile, This album is really just sloppy and contains lame guitar solo and horrible drum beats, I mean the cover is even stupid it shows some goth girl standing by some trees. What the heck's the meaning of that? Don't waste your money on this and instead if you want good punk get Ramones first album or Never Mind The Bollocks by the Sex Pistols.

From the Sweet Children days!
I wasn't around when they made the four albums that make-up this one, and I only first heard Green Day in the car with their hit Basket Case, from their album: Dookie. This album was really fun and exciting to listen to.
As in other reviews, I first got into Green Day when Warning came out in 2000. And now with this release of the old treasure of Sweet Children, along with Kerplunk, I finally get to hear Green Day as they used to be.
This is a nice CD to add to your Green Day collection. My favorite tracks of this album are Don't Leave Me and I Want to Be Alone.

better than mainstream
i bought this album along with kerplunk and was shocked by how great the songs are. its too bad that when a band puts out a disc, no one really pays attention to it unless its played on the radio a thousand times and even then, alot of people purchase an album for only a few songs. the songs didnt get videos made for them, they didnt get any airplay (that i know of) and thats the sad part, because they are just as good as any other green day song, if not better. the opening track, at the library, is probably my fav on the whole disc. along with disappearing boy and dont leave me the songs are simple, catchy and stay in your head for days. please dont pass this up because it never got mainstream recognition, or because you have never heard it on the radio or because you havnt seen a video for it. if you do you are missing out on some really great music. .

Before Dookie....
Before Dookie, American Idiot, the clothes, the make-up, and the dozens of teenyboppers that overflooded their fanbase, they were just 19 year old dropouts. Some people might like Green Day for American Idiot, but why people never try something different, it's pretty sad. Nicknamed "2 Dollar Bill" by his peers, Billie Joe sang every song sincere, soulful, and emotional, the traits of teen angst. Good Charlotte wish they could be like them (GC sucks).

Don't expect this to sound like they are now. The production is raw (overused word, sure), and Billie Joe's voice is very high-picthed, but actually isn't annoying. Like Squash N' Squeak mentioned, there are actually solos on this album. REAL, authentic solos. Bille Joe won't go down as a guitar legend, but the solos are fast, catchy, and most of all, useful. If you can play a guitar like that, that's all you need to know. The real music fans know that the long to make great music with the guitar is to make it sing, be part of your emotions. If it's technical and like that (Eddie Van Halen comes to mind), good, but the brave people are the only ones who will release the meaning of the guitar behind it's electric interior, and releazize that in fact indeed, you are the gear of emotion that drives the machine.

Since they were 19, Green Day' song writing wasn't about the thigns they were before, but it was him and his voice about his struggles in life. Classic love songs, angst, and just plain fun are packed onto the disc in music form. At The Library is all about falling in love with a girl you don't know, unrequited love, the feeling you get when you first see somebody, you want to talk to her, but you don't know what to do. That old feeling. Dry Ice is a song Billie Joe wrote for some girl he liked, don't know who it is. All kinds of songs he wrote about love, but thankfully it's not the usual emo crap like the cliched self loathing and "how could she do this to me". Billie Joe is rather positive, at the end of At The Library, he ensures himself that he will meet the girl again someday, despite she has a boyfriend. Paper Laterns is all about how Billie Joe wants to forget about his ex, and wants to get on with his life. It's rather positive, and unless your a total steortypical tough guy who thinks anything love is sappy, you won't mind them. And by the way, love is not cliched either, as love has so much instincts and theorys and terms, that it is a complex way of life.

Yeah so, other than that, this is classic Green Day. It's not as good as Dookie, American Idiot (teenyboppers, go somewhere else), and Nimrod, but it's good. Everything in the Green Day discography has not dissapointed me, so if you are openminded, check out all there albums. There are so many hidden gems around the numerous (but rarely, great, even though they are played alot) hits, that the teenboppers will never know. .
