It's not over played to me because I hate the video and don't really watch music television.

I just hear it on the aol fresh 40 station sooo much. This is also the only song by Green Day that my friends like. So if I am around them and I want to listen to gd then guess what song we'll be listening to...

You know how they recorded covers of "A Quick One While He's Away" by The Who, "Another State of Mind" by Social Distortion, "That's All Right" by Elvis Presley, and "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan, and released them as bonus tracks on different versions of 21st Century Breakdown? I think a more meaningful and relevent cover would've been, of course, "Gloria" by Them. They should've covered that and stuck it somewhere where it made sense in the narrative of the album, or as a hidden track at the end, like they did with "All By Myself" on Dookie, for instance.

dysLEXIa:
However many of the songs....I'm sitting there and it's like, "I've heard this before"
A lot of the riffs are extremely similar.

I agree completely. Many of the riffs and melodies of songs remind me of other Green Day songs, or Foxboro Hot Tubs, or The Network. And if they don't remind me of Green Day and side projects, I find similarities to other artists and songs. For instance, "Last Night On Earth" reminds me of "All My Loving" by The Beatles, and the piano in the beginning of "Restless Heart Syndrome" (or one of the other songs with piano in the beginning) to me sounds very similar to "Piano Man" by Billy Joel.

i love this album. i dunno why ppl keep critisizing it. they say its not green day, but u gotta understand that bands change. they have been playin since 1990 and they cant remain the same forever.

Sure, its not the Green Day from 2004 American Idiot or 1994 Dookie. But still the album was pretty good in my opinion.

Loved it! I have to say I enjoyed it more than American Idiot.
My fav song off it would be American Eulogy or Peacemaker.
