Cigarettes and Valentines was supposed to be the studio album from punk rock band Green Day following 2002's Shenanigans. The album was nearly finished when the master tracks for the album were stolen from the studio. Instead of re-recording the album, the band decided to start from scratch, which led to the creation of American Idiot.[citation needed] Billie Joe Armstrong said the album's material was "good stuff, solid stuff" but believed it wouldn't have sold as many copies as American Idiot did, as well as claiming the album wasn't "maximum Green Day". The band's producer, Rob Cavallo, however, did not take as positive an attitude, as he told the band he thought the album was mediocre at best. Armstrong believes that the theft of the master tracks was a "blessing in disguise".[citation needed]
Earlier demos of the album's material do exist.[citation needed] With the touring of American Idiot finally over, there are rumours of re-recording the project (or, at least, using the same title for their next album). With the band back in the studio recording a follow-up - the future of the album remains to be seen.[citation needed] Billie Joe said that "Cigarettes And Valentines" was similar in sound to "Warning:".[citation needed] Bass player Mike Dirnt has admitted that backups of the tapes were made, but curiously claims that 'it just wasn't the same as the originals'. In the same interview, he stated that he is certain that the masters will be leaked by whomever stole them eventually, and that his only hope was that they give it a decent front cover.
