Fair enough ‘Steal This Album’ has a few flat tracks but there are so many great songs. Also, every song on Mezmerize is wicked. Granted, not in the same mood as Toxicity but far out… So so good.
The thing that impresses me so much about Green Day is that they peaked, had the usual big falloff in quality a few albums later, then they peaked again about a decade after Dookie. I can’t think of any other band that managed to do this off the top of my head.
I’d have to disagree with QotSA, but I can definitely see why. I’m a huuuge fan of theirs, but for some reason every new QotSA album seems to take years for me to fully appreciate. I absolutely hated Era Vulgaris when it first came out. It’s by far my favorite album of theirs now. Even …like clockwork is barely starting to really grow on me, but I’m definitely coming around. I haven’t even bothered to listen to their newest one yet.
Green Day - Dookie
Radiohead - Kid A/Amnesiac
System of a down - Toxicity
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the deaf
The Offspring - Smash
I love that game!

No way with Green Day. Insomniac, Nimrod, and American Idiot are all excellent.

Yep. Although I really just think of Warning as one OK album in a run of great first 7 albums, which is a pretty remarkable.
QoS has a bunch of awesome albums after Songs for the Deaf. Unless we’re talking about popularity, but quality def not.
I never said they don’t, I said that to me it’s the best and nothing else they released was as good, it doesn’t mean the rest isn’t good.
