Details: Product descriptionGREEN DAY 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours (1991 US 19-track CD their debut album also including tracks from the Slappy & 1 000 Hours EPs lyric booklet picture sleeve LOOKOUT#22CD)Amazon.caThis compilation of early indie work (1989’s1000 Hours EP, 1990’sSlappy EP, and 1990’s39/Smooth LP) was a strong indicator of things to come for Green Day. Recorded on shoestring budgets, these recordings out-rocked most of the wannabe punk records that flooded record stores at the time. From the first strains of the opener, « At the Library, » Green Day are off on a fast, fun ride. Some of the band’s best tracks are from these early sessions–« Don’t Leave Me, » « Dry Ice, » « 16, » « Rest, » and « Paper Lanterns, » to name only a few. It’s a hook-filled record with three-chord wonders at every turn, anchored by Armstrong’s snotty-boy vocals. He captures youthful yearning, variously spitting lyrics like « I feel forgotten / Feel like rotting » and then musing out loud, « What is it about you that I adore? » Simply some of the catchiest punk rock ever made.–Lorry Fleming
