Lyric discussion by Cherub Rock 

These lyrics and the whole concept of the album is so reminiscent of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and The Who's "Quadrophenia". Essentially, this is the closest Green Day will ever get to making a double album.

thats exactly what i thought... i think that the only thing comparable to what Pink Floyd did with "The Wall" is what Billie and company did with "American Idiot"

@Cherub Rock well thats cause they're all rock operas.
