Green Day: Nimrod
Ted Drozdowski, Boston Phoenix, 13 October 1997
GREEN DAY have dropped another load of Dookie upon us. By which I mean the band have made a big pile of new songs as good as those on their 1994 breakthrough album – songs that literally caused a near-riot when Green Day played Boston's Hatch Shell that summer.
