Who knows what compelled Green Day to release Stop Drop and Roll!!! under the pseudonym Foxboro Hot Tubs.  The album is distinctly Green Day, full of tight, catchy pop-punk but now with a twist of neo-60s garage rock, and an undeniable energy.  Perhaps Green Day chose to release the album under a new moniker because the expectations for the follow up to American Idiot are extremely high (with good reason), and this way the band can deflect some of those expectations, but with an album as good as Stop Drop and Roll!!!, the expectations for the next proper Green Day album are now that much higher.  Fortunately the band has a surprisingly strong track record and may be able to deliver. 

Songs like "Mother Mary" show how the band has grown into their songwriting skills, now able to compose damn near perfect songs.  These songs are deceptively simple, not unlike early Ramones records.  Tracks like “The Pedestrian” (which sounds like it should have been on Warning) and “She’s a Saint Not a Celebrity” are instantly memorable and insanely catchy.  Looking at Stop Drop and Roll!!! From a Green Day perspective, it is a more consistent and entertaining record than American Idiot, and one of Green Day's best albums.
