Bullet in a bible

My latest car accessory is a copy of Bullet in a Bible by Green Day. Its really a live version of American Idiot, with anthemic playing and lots of crowd noise and singing, from the National Bowl of 65,000 people at Milton Keynes(!) in England. For a three piece band, Green Day know how to chop up the air.

I liked the original album; with what sounds like surprisingly British rock production values. This live version (including a DVD) includes much of American Idiot and some older tracks. It enjoyably captures the gig though doesn't drift much from the originals other than crowd response.

A good motorway album giving a lively journey on today's jammed M3, finishing in a flourish with "time of your life's" final delayed power chords and drums refusing to subside. I shall promote it from the one-shot to the CD-changer.
