Green Day: Awesome As ****

I was really into Green Day's "21st Century Breakdown" album at one point. Perhaps it being one of the first albums I really gave my attention to played a part in that, but I genuinely consider it to be a unique album in the band's discography that has a very solid selection of songs which build up to a consistent thematic. "Awesome as Fuck" is a live concert DVD from that era of the band in Japan. Perhaps another attempt at making a live album like "Bullet in a Bible", AAF does not live up to its predecessor. As a standalone video, it's alright. The song selection is great, mostly centered around 21CB songs. The Saitama concert might be fun for a single watch, but it is not even close to as memorable as the one in BIB. The most interesting part here is the inclusion of a live performance of the song "Cigarettes and Valentines", from their eponymous cancelled album. It's a catchy, fun song, in similar vein to their first few records.All in all, decent DVD. Nothing too impressive.
