Notes: Growing tired of the simple 3 chord songs that dominated their previous albums, Green Day released the most experimental album of their career. Recorded over five months between March and July of '97 the band ended up with 30 tracks from the sessions. The album features songs with strings, a horn section, harmonica and violin - none of which the band had used previously. The album sold well with over 2 million copies sold in the US and saw massive success from the Good Riddance single.
In 2023, the band released a 25th Anniversary box set called Nimrod XXV which contained previously unheard demos (including 6 previously unreleased songs) and live tracks.
