Japanese only SHM pressing. The SHM-CD [Super High Material CD] format features enhanced audio quality through the use of a special polycarbonate plastic. Using a process developed by JVC and Universal Music Japan discovered through the joint companies' research into LCD display manufacturing SHM-CDs feature improved transparency on the data side of the disc allowing for more accurate reading of CD data by the CD player laser head. SHM-CD format CDs are fully compatible with standard CD players.
Description of Dookie:
Take one part Ramones, one part Buzzcocks, and one part Husker Du, and you've got the basic foundation of Green Day, a punky, witty, melodic San Francisco Bay area trio who became overnight stars in 1994 when this album, their third overall release and major label debut, catapulted them to the top of the pop charts. Led by guitarist/vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong and their secret weapon, powerhouse drummer Tre Cool, Green Day put '70s and '80s punk in a compact '90s package with songs like "Longview," "Basket Case," "Pulling Teeth," and the hit semi-ballad, "When I Come Around." One the few modern alternative rock bands with a bona fide sense of humor. --Billy Altman
Dookie Reviews:
A Green Day Classic! 
2009-11-30 - This 1994 release from the original pop-punkers Green Day still sounds as great today as it did then,although a bit nostaglic (in a good way, of course).
It harkens back to the days of cutting class and smoking pot with a mohawk and torn-up cargo pants. Songs like "Burn-out" and "Welcome to Paradise" were the theme songs of Gen X. The top-ten hit "When I come around" was definitely a break-thru song for them and it's one of my personal favorites, along with "Basketcase" and "She".
The whole album is just like taking a teenager growing up in the 90's, sticking it in a garage, and giving it a mic and electric guitar. :)
Recommended to all!
HELL YEAH! 
2009-11-14 - BACK WHEN DISCO WAS ON THE RIZE AND HAIR BANDS WERE THE NORM, MY ONLY ALTERNATIVE WAS THE SEX PISTOLS, RAMONE'S ETC. PUNK WAS A SLAP THAT ROCK NEEDED DESPERATELY. IN 1994, I PICKED UP GREEN DAY'S "DOOKIE." I WAS VERY IMPRESSED, BUT TO BE HONEST, DID NOT THINK THEY WOULD MAKE IT WITH THEIR PUNK ROOTS. NEVERTHELESS, THEY PROVED ME WRONG. I MUST SAY, MY FAVORITE IS "BASKET CASE." THE DRUMMING BRINGS BACK MEMMORIES OF KEITH MOON IN HIS HEYDAY. WHEN MY DAUGHTER LEAVES FOR SCHOOL, I SNEEK OUT HER GREEN DAY. TOO OLD? WHO CARES!
Sid Vicious is turning over in his Grave! 
2009-11-01 - WOW!!
I love all the other 1 star reviews! To those who posted them,I refer you to my review of "Insomniac" It sums up my take on the band as a whole since all Green Day albums are pretty much the same!
Fast, no hassles
2009-07-10 - I received the cd within 3 days, I was impressed that they were so quick. Thanks so much.
One of the definitive '90s albums
2009-05-15 - Well, it's been a long time since I've written a review, but I figure I'll come back on something big and amazing, like Green Day's "Dookie". Not much is needed to be said about this album, because a lot has already been said.
Even though this is one of Green Day's earlier albums, it shows that they've got skills in the songwriting department, as shown in such classics as "Chump", "Longview" and "Welcome To Paradise". As young as they were when they wrote these songs, they make them interesting and exciting. Then we have more riff-rocking anthems like the classic "Basket Case" and the melodic, shout-a-long "She". We even get to hear a bit of country influence in "Pulling Teeth"! Then comes along the mid-tempo "When I Come Around" a nice break in the faster pace of other songs.
Overall, if you like this style of music, you really can't go wrong here. This is one of those albums that you can play all the way through and love every second of it. It's the sound of thundering guitars and basses, and energetic drums. It's the sound of a summer day outside in California. It's the sound of classic Green Day! Thanks for the time, and peace.
