More Info:
Showcasing Green Day's continuing musical evolution, their much-anticipated 3rd Reprise album amplifies everything that made the band great in the 1st place, while taking Billie Joe's ever-sharp songwriting and Green Day's punk/pop/rock/roar in bold new directions. Nimrod is an epic set of great rock songs highlighted by the 1st single, "Hitchin' a Ride" (also a startling new video). World tour begins in October and runs through December.Reviews:
''Nimrod'' is the fifth studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released through Reprise Records on October 14, 1997. The album entered the ''Billboard'' U.S. charts at #10, and achieved double platinum status, although it did not revive Green Day's sales to the level of ''Dookie''. ''Nimrod'' achieved critical respect and yielded the acoustic hit "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)". The album was released in Europe as an HDCD. It is the band's fourth best-selling album (behind ''Dookie'', ''American Idiot'', and ''Insomniac)'' with a sale success of 2,083,000 copies sold in the US alone and over 6 million worldwide. The portraits covered on the album cover are Dwight D. Eisenhower and Harry S. Truman.''
The songs "Nice Guys Finish Last", "Hitchin' a Ride", and "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" are featured in the video game ''Green Day: Rock Band''. - Wikipedia
