Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown

On the second listen, first really hit me odd. Second time around it's very pleasant. Another rock opera, but a little more dramatic on this one. Don't really like the single, bothers me how it sounds:

"Know Your Enemy"

But it has a really few really outstanding tracks such as:

"Christian's Inferno"

&

"Murder City"

Solid outing.

"Know Your Enemy" is so repetitive and monotonous. I get pretty furious every time the radio plays it. :mad:

Are they still doing the Government shtick?

They are punk, they have to Juan

I'm a Green Day fan, and I was ok with American Idiot, but these seems like American Idiot II

As far as I'm concerned all Americans are idiots...

I'm looking forward to it. Brought tickets for one of their shows hear in October, so had better be worth it.

It does seem to have the feel of American Idiot 2, but I think that was always going to be the case. As long as the songs individually sound different, that isn't necessarily a problem. I guess I'll see on Friday.

I gpot it the other day, gave it a listen on the way into the office, dunno really, I wasn't really concentrating.

I'll give it another go tomorrow

Im tired with how bad Green Day wants to be The Clash.

Thats what I thought when I listened. :-\

ugh, I'm so sick of this shit

This is how their meeting with record executives probably went

Record Exes: So what do you got for us boys

Green Day: We got 18 awesome songs destined to set off a revolution and get that Nazi Bush out of office!

Record Exes: Um, Bush is out of office and a black man has been elected president. People have real hope now.

Green Day: ..............shit.

The single sounds like the most stereotypical green day song ever

Dunno just listened to this and I found it rather mediocre.

I wonder what goes through the mind of a man who signs up to a wrestling forum to make his first post about Green Day's newest CD. I wish I could delve into the human psyche to find this out.

I was going to post in the RAW thread, but my account wasn't active yet. I found out this morning that it was, and after browsing and realizing there was nothing of substance to add to the RAW thread.. I decided to troll a Green Day thread.

Is that so bad?

You are simply the worst type of person.

The type of person that hates Green Day? I'm sure there are worse people out there.

I don't really know how you can find this album mediocre. Yes the first single is dog shit. Everything else is completely fantastic. Every ballad on the album is mind blowing, and it has far less political commentary than the last album. It's actually better than GD:AI.

Before The Labotomy = :y:
Last Night on Earth = :y:
21st Century Breakdown = :y: love how they do the combination of different shit like within the first 3 tracks of their albums.

I think the album deserves at LEAST a 3 1/2 out of 5. But i think its a 4..maybe you just have to be in the mood or high as shit :y: i bet if you got high to this shit, it would probably be mind-blowing lol
