Green Day's seventh studio album, American Idiot was released in September 2004 and has since sold over 23 million copies worldwide, including 9 million in the US. The album is a punk rock opera masterpiece that won the Best Rock Album at the 2005 Grammy Awards©. Five hit singles were released from the album: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "Holiday," "Wake Me Up When September Ends," "Jesus of Suburbia," and the title track, "American Idiot."
American Idiot was recorded in the digital domain and mixed to analog tape. Those original flat master tapes were then carefully transferred to 192/24 wav files that ended up being the audio source for the One-Step pressing.
