When I saw Green Day nearly steal the show at Neil Young's annual Bridge School benefit in 1999, in the process giving the first live performance of their new album's title track, I knew the album was gonna be good. I was right. Coming off the biggest hit of their career, "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)," Green Day have created a great punk-meets-rock album. It delivers the one-two punch you want from great Green Day tracks, but also finds the band continuing to grow up. "Warning" kicks even stronger a year later than it did the first time I heard it — "Sanitation, Expiration date, Question Everything?/ Or shut up and be the victim of authority." Amen.
