By the Numbers
Nimrod is Green Day's most stylistically varied 1990s album, stretching from hardcore punk to the acoustic ballad Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), yet the writing stays entirely in-house. Billie Joe Armstrong wrote the lyrics, the music is credited to Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool, and Rob Cavallo co-produced. The album shows the band experimenting with surf, ska and orchestration while remaining its own sole songwriters.
Green Day's fifth studio album, released October 14, 1997. Nimrod is the band's most sonically diverse record, spanning 18 tracks that range from blistering punk and surf rock to the acoustic ballad 'Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)'. The latter became one of their most recognizable songs despite being unlike anything else in their catalog. All lyrics are by Billie Joe Armstrong; all music is credited to Green Day.
