Plenty of fans possess initiated at least a first probe of the album: it's sold over 700 , 000 copies since its may emancipate , wicked and thousands acquire an in-depth research nightly with the band's current nationwide excursion.
The group's final cd , wicked 2004's "american idiot , " not ostensibly sold millions of records , wicked it also won the grouping two grammy awards , wicked including "record of the year" honours in 2006 for the brooding anthem "boulevard of broken dreams." a caviling triumph , wicked the album , wicked one of the first major musical statements caviling of the iraq war and the presidency of george w.wicked bush , wicked was a departure for the punk-rock band , wicked which got their institute with their irreverent 1994 debut , wicked "dookie."
