Let's get to the point. International Superhits is great for the casual listener, or just someone who wants to rediscover them. But unless you desperately want to hear Maria and Poprocks and Coke (which are decent songs), or J.A.R, I wouldn't recommend this to the fan who already has all of their Reprise releases. Unless you want a good cd to listen to all the way through, which this certainly is.

The songs are all good! There is not one song I can't listen to...truthfully, there isn't one song I don't like by Green Day. The two new songs, as previously mentioned, are both good...the catchy, but somewhat repetitive Maria, and the poppy love song of Poprocks and Coke, but they're not much compared to the others. You'll get every Green Day hit on this CD, from their first single (and possibly one of their best songs) Longview, to the timeless classic Good Riddance, to the melodic Waiting, the somewhat harsher Geek Stink Breath and Brain Stew, and the lesser known Walking Contradiction and She...they're all here. Green Day is a fun band to listen to, and this is a nice representation of them.

One thing that slightly peeved me is that there are no songs from their Lookout releases on here. I can't say I liked 1039 SOSH, but Kerplunk is my second favorite (after Nimrod). Beware! When you buy this, you're not getting the full Green Day experience...there are great songs such as Going to Pasalacqua, 2000 Light Years Away, Christie Road, and many others that aren't on here!

Oh yeah, if you want more Green Day, check out all 6 of their albums, you'll find some good songs that weren't played on the radio. They include, but aren't limited to, 86, Stuart and The Ave., Westbound Sign, Scattered, Jinx/Haushinka, Prosthetic Head ... Castaway, and Misery. ...

If you're that person who has heard songs like Longview and Good Riddance on the radio and liked them, but has never bought a Green Day release, by all means BUY THIS! Green Day fans with the entire collection, you may not want to get this unless you need something to top it all off or are just mad for the song J.A.R.

And J.A.R is a great song.


A Must Have for Green Day Fans   November 30, 2001

I don't care what anyone says. Green Day is one of my favorite bands. They are one of the main reasons for me listening to music. I've liked them since sixth grade, and they're still around. They put out great music all the time. Sure, people have given them a hard time, but I really don't see why. They are a great group who can still come up with great songs.

This CD is their greatest hits album. It contains many hits, like "Longview," "Basket Case," "Stuck with Me," "Walking Contradiction," and many more. From "Dookie" to "Warning," this CD has it all. There are even two bonus tracks, which are new songs, and one song that you could only get from a movie sountrack. It's too bad that there aren't any songs from the first two albums, but I guess that's because none of them became top hits. Though, they still could've been included somehow. Other than that, this album is pretty much perfect!

If you love Green Day, then this CD is for you! It has all of the top hits on it. I'm glad that they finally came out with a greatest hits album. It's about time.


Everything a Rock/Punk band should be   March 4, 2005

These guys are amazing talents. I've loved their music ever since Dookie, and have since gone back and gotten some of their earlier stuff. You can see (and hear) their growth as writers and musicians, culminating with American Idiot, probably the best rock album in many years. They're brash, naughty, irreverant, they don't toe the company line, everything a rock/punk band should be! By the way, I am a 44-year-old mother of three, two of which are teenagers. I would rather them listen to Green Day, swears and all, (I'm not naiive enough to think they've never heard them before), than Britney/Lindsay etc.


Fun, catchy pop-punk. Nice representation of the band.   January 1, 2002

If you're a casual listener or even a diehard fan, I'd get this cd. It's excellent, all the songs are very catchy (Green Day is always catchy). It's just great pop-punk, period. It's a lot better than Blink-182 and Sum41 (although I don't mind them), so I recommend it to fans of those bands too.

Maria and Poprocks and Coke are good, although I didn't listen to them as much as the other songs. All of their Dookie hits are great, my favorites include Longview and She. J.A.R, the song from that movie, is a great song and is one of my favorites. My other favorites include Brain Stew, Hitchin' a Ride, Walking Contradiction, Waiting and Warning.

It's fun, people. Go out and buy it.
