What are you even talking about?

What other songs sound like Hitchin a Ride?
Tracks like Good Riddance, Redundant, Scattered, Last Ride In, Walking Alone ETC are all a lot more subdued and softer than anything Green Day had done before.
I suppose you're right in that it did similar to Insomniac as far as sales go, but still a massive disappointment in what they and the label were hoping to be a bounce back to something closer to Dookie numbers. I suppose the thing is is that I love Insomniac, so for me I don't really care about the sales figures but Nimrod just isn't a very good album.
