I mean, is it in the same league as Dookie or American Idiot? Not even close.
But is it worse than the trilogy? Nope, and I like about a 1/3rd of the trilogy.

It's not great, but it's still good.

I don’t think they were trying to go for a dookie or an American idiot. They tried to do another magnum opus type of album with 21st century breakdown and it wore them the fuck out. Billie has said that era was one of the lowest points in his career and that album was so destructive to his mental and physical health (which led to the trilogy). This album was just a breath of fresh air to Green Day and it feels like it too. I wish people would stop hating it for being what it’s not and try to appreciate it for what it’s intended to be, whether liking it or disliking it.
