i found that AI by Green Day wasn't really a departure from what they've been doing for a decade. i liked it, but it didn't do anything special for me.
and can billy joe do something besides power chords????
As far as hip-hop goes I'd go with John Smith - Pinky's Laundromat, MF Doom - MM Food, or Madvillain - Madvillainy.
Illogic's Celestial Clockwork was great, also.

Your entitled to your opinion but here is why I like it. Well first, as a Green Day fan since the 6th grade (8 years) I'm bias. 2nd, they did pull in some new ideas from their old stuff. The songs merge into each other gracefully. They have done this before, but only once with Brain Stew/Jaded. However, they also have 2 songs on the album that are actually 5 songs within one. There is pretty much chapters to the songs. For example: Jesus of Suburbia (1. Jesus of Suburbia/ 2. City of the Damned/ 3. I Don't Care/ 4. Dearly Beloved/ 5. Tales of Another Broken Home). Also, I think the lyrics are done well (despite my opposing views as a Republican). It almost reminds me of a Quentin Tarantino movie the way each song seems to link to one another. Example: St. Jimmy introduces the idea of a soldier who is proud yet ignorant (I disagree with the idea but good song at the same time). Every once in a while throughout the album, they'll mention Jimmy again which really wouldn't make sense without the background info from the song "St. Jimmy". Finally, in the 1st chapter of "Homecoming" there is the idea of losing such a soldier (I. "The Death of St. Jimmy"). So in that sense, Green Day has branched out, making it not the same old stuff (which is great as well).
