I'm not sure if anyone touched on this, but does anyone else notice their song sound like they were inspired by some of their side projects...?

Also, Static Age is based off of the Misfit's Static Age..

I personally like American Idiot better than this album. I think it had better lyrics and a better story line. Granted this album does have some fuckin catchy songs like East Jesus Nowhere and Restless Heart Syndrome.


I don't know if that made sense... I'm really baked.

You have a point which the side projects thing. East Jesus Nowere is very Foxboro Hot Tubs. Also, some people say that Christian's Inferno sounds like something from The Network. I need to listen to them (The Network) more.

I've said before about how much Christian's Inferno reminds me of The Network, but I'd never though about East Jesus Nowhere sounding like Foxboro Hot Tubs before - it fully does!

One thing I'm not to sure about is Billie's use of the N word in American Eulogy (Mass Hysteria).

I was quite shocked when I heard that. Offencive language, no wonder WalMart were mad. XD

bahaha Yeah
I actually think this album he trying to get more down to the roots of punk, and bands like the Dead Kennedys have used that word in some of their songs... Since it seems like Green Day got really influenced on their hiatus - going back underground (pinhead gunpowder, network, foxborro hottubs, ect...) So I'm not surprised.

Ahh. You do have a good point there. *nods*

It's not really his use though, is it?
It's a direct speech quotation.

Anyway. What do I think about 21st Century Breakdown?
I think it's kind of awesome.
I love it.

I just realised Murder City is mentioned in "Transistors Gone Wild" - The Network

I FINALLY GOT THE CD
WOOOOO
even though i already had the songs

but i thought they were not selling it at wal mart?
maybe that's just in the states though cause i got mine there and its not censored

at first i was like 'oh no. i don't really like it...'

but just like any record, you have to listen to it a few times to really get into it.
now i loooove it.

my favorites are:
21st Century Breakdown
Viva la Gloria
Before the Labotomy
Peacemaker
East Jesus Nowhere
Last of the American Girls
Murder City
Little Girl
21 Guns

amazing album.

21 Guns video?
Opinions?

I liked it. The fish tank was awesome. But Christian should've been hotter.

I really liked the 21 Guns video. I think it had a good concept, and I like that they brought the album cover to life.
And on a dorkier note, I really loved Gloria's knee-high socks.... because I wear knee-high socks a lot.....I felt special, knowing I dress like Gloria......

i so love this album...waited for a looong time to listen to another green day songs.
my faves are static age, 21 guns and 21st century breakdown.

as for the 21 Guns video...i like it!! the guy is so hot... Mike, Billy, and Tre are even hotter!!!!

I really enjoyed the 21 Guns video.

I loved the Jason White added a nice touch to the corner of my computer screen in the video as well

I liked the way they portrayed the bullets going through the walls and having light shine through the bullet holes. The irony is lovely. If you guys notice, the lyrics to "See the Light" on written all over the walls so it adds a clever touch.

When I first listened to this album, and got familiar with the characters of Christian and Gloria, I pictured what they would look like. This video kind of shows it, to me at least. I pictured them to look that way.

LOVE <3

its amazing! it has hints of old greenday,the newer american idiot greenday, and the brand new greenday...its like a gereenday shake mix all the albums together and mix and 21st century breakdown is what you get

That's what song it was. I wondered which song was written on the walls. I saw Billie's handwriting and was like 'Ooh '

It's pretty awesome.
I wonder what video they'll make next.

I would LOVE to see Before the Lobotomy or American Eulogy adapted into a music video.

honestly.....i like it but its not my favourite it doesnt come close and i wouldnt say american idiot is my favourite either i mean dont get me wrong their brilliant albums but i much prefer their older stuff...the older the better.

I think it's amazing.
Better than I expected it to be (and I had some REALLY high hopes).
It's entered my top 3 favourite albums right behind Warning and Nimrod.
I think they blew AI out of the water with this one. I like that it doesn't have a linear storyline and the way it's set up with the 3 acts. It's like 3 mini-albums in one. I can listen to Charlatans and Saints front to back non-stop.

Billie's lyrics just seem to get better and better with time.

id argee with that

what i don't is how stadium-rock it is/they've gotten. which is not to be confused with 90ies nostalgia.

otherwise the album is awwwesome.
