Green Day: Dookie (WEA 9362-45529-2 14 tks/40 mins/FP)

Ian Watson, Melody Maker, 28 May 1994

LIKE A hardcore Hailey's Comet, Green Day have a habit of popping up every couple of summers with an LP stuffed with blazing guitars, bright melodies, and lyrics that deal with the trials of adolescence. You can almost set your body clock by them. First swallow: spring's here. Green Day record: time to stock up on the sun cream.
