Fantastic compilation of rare outtakes, cover songs, and b-sides. Beautiful blue vinyl! Includes insert! Brand NEW MINT sealed. Great Sound!
With fourteen rare outtakes, cover songs, and b-sides from multi-platinum selling pop-punk outfit Green Day, Shenanigans represents the punk side of things for Green Day, as they bash them out, fast, snotty, and loaded with melody. This is the band that first made their way onto radio in 1995 with several singles off of Dookie.
Longtime fans that have since abandoned Green Day because they're too commercial (aka 'they sold out'), or because you just don't like their new stuff, take notice. Shenanigans is what you want, what you need to restore your faith in the reigning kings of catchy-as-hell, solid pop-punk. This is a breath of fresh air from Green Day's weaker new stuff. It draws a map of where Green Day has been while showing where they went and where they're going. Now, blast it and sing along.
Serving as the perfect companion compilation to 2001's INTERNATIONAL SUPERHITS! collection, SHENANIGANS delivers an assortment of rarities, B-sides, covers, and previously unreleased material. Throughout this 14-track anthology, it's easy to hear how Green Day was able to successfully make the transition from scruffy skate-punks to unofficial heads of the nouveau-punk movement that became the mainstream in the mid-'90s. Staccato riffs, hooks aplenty, and lots of harmonizing are just part of the engine that drives cuts like the thunderous "Suffocate," the relentlessly driving "I Want To Be On T.V." and the pogo-worthy workout that is the previously unreleased "Ha Ha You're Dead."
Surprises include the ambling pop of "On The Wagon," sterling surf instrumental "Espionage," and spot-on covers of the Ramones (a wildly infectious "Outsider") and The Kinks (a worthy "Tired Of Waiting For You"). SHENANIGANS reinforces Green Day's rep for creating quality pop-punk. This collection of odds and sods could easily pass as any other group's A list canon.
This is great punk stuff, essential listening for all fans of the Ramones, Rancid, The Clash, Strokes, The Libertines, Iggy Pop And The Stooges, Suicide, Oasis, Johnny Thunders, Pussy Galore, Guns n Roses, Sex Pistols, Warlocks, Cramps, Nick Cave, Sonic Youth, Nuggets, Patti Smith, Thirteenth Floor Elevators, Seeds, Garage Psych, Dead Boys, Spacemen 3, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, New York Dolls, Hives, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Velvet Underground, MC5, Jet, Datsuns, D4, Saints, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Primal Scream, White Stripes, etc.
