Sealed, Out Of Print 2009 Hits Compilation With Custom Hype Sticker On Shrink. “In The Heady Days Of The Post-Grunge Mid-'90s, It Was Hard To See Who Were Real And Who Were Pretenders -- And That Didn't Even Take Into Account Whose Music Would Stand The Test Of Time And Whose Wouldn't. Which Is A Roundabout Way Of Saying That Even If Green Day's Breakthrough Record, Dookie, Sold Millions Upon Millions Of Copies, It Was Hard To Tell If It Was A Fluke Of Their Talent Or Their Time -- Whether They Deserved It Or Not, Or Whether They Just Were In The Right Place At The Right Time. Years Later, After Many More Hits And Brilliant Albums Like Warning, It Became Clear That Green Day Were An Exceptional Band That Was Blessed To Come Along At Precisely The Right Time, So They Could Flourish Commercially And Artistically. If You Look At Their Peers, You'll Realize That Not Many Were Able To Pull That Trick Off, And A Collection Like International Superhits! Confirms That They Not Only Were Popular And Good, But They Could Have Held Their Own Against Their Idols. And That's Not An Idle Boast, Either -- Listening To This Generous 21-Track Collection, Which Does Contain All The Hits But Also A New Song And Such Non-LP Songs As "J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)" (From The Angus Soundtrack, If You're Keeping Track), It Becomes Clear That The Group Was As Melodic As The Jam Or The Buzzcocks And As Impassioned As The Clash, Only They Were American And Coming About 15 Years Too Late.” – S.T.
