Foxboro Hottubs: Stop Drop And Roll!!!

This is the debut album of the band that so many people are claiming to be Green Day. It makes sense, seeing how the singer sounds alot like Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong, and the tracks all have retarded sounding names that you usually hear from Green Day (ex: 409 "In a Coffemaker", "Poprocks and Coke", "Emenius Sleepus", etc...). The album starts off with the song "Stop Drop and Roll", which sounds significantly different from most Green Day songs in that it sounds a bit cheery for Green Day, and it has a guitar solo.

After that is "Mother Mary", the album's most popular song, which sounds alot like Green Day, but, at the same time, sounds different and much better. The rest of the tracks on the album are relatively good, better than most of the early Green Day stuff.

Rating: 4/5
The album almost sounds like Green Day's debut album, only the songs sound good. Some tracks could use improvement, but I don't know which ones could be improved or how to improve them. Overall, it seems Foxboro Hottubs is too good to be a new band and sounds too similar to Green Day to not be them.
