Nimrod dirilis ulang dalam format piringan hitam pada 16 Juni 2009. Album ini juga dirilis ulang dalam format HDCD. Lagu "Nice Guys Finish Last", "Hitchin' a Ride", dan "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" digunakan dalam permainan Green Day: Rock Band.
Musik dan lirik
Gaya musikal Nimrod lebih beragam dibandingkan album Green Day sebelumnya. Pada lagu "Take Back", Armstrong menggunakan gaya vokal death metal pada bagian chorus.[2] Sementara itu, lagu "Last Ride In" adalah instrumental bergaya surf rock dan "King for a Day" adalah lagu ska dengan penggunaan horn yang menyeluruh.[2]
"Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" ditulis saat Billie Joe “putus hubungan dengan seorang perempuan yang pindah ke Ekuador dan mencoba untuk memahaminya sebisa mungkin.” Sebagian orang juga merasa bahwa lagu tersebut ditulis sebagai respon terhadap komunitas punk (secara spesifik, komunitas 924 Gilman Street) yang ,elakukan penolakan terhadap Green Day pasca status multi-platinum Dookie. Kabarnya, kisah dibalik lagu ini menjadi dasar VH1 untuk meliput Green Day dalam acara Behind the Music. Pada tahun 1998, Green Day memenangkan MTV Video Music Award untuk kategori Best Alternative Video untuk lagu Good Riddance.
