Green Day/ New Album

Green Day/ New Album

With a new album on the horizon, fans and critics alike will direct their brains with wonderment. What will 2009 bring out of the Berkeley Trio, will be a chance for Punk to be placed on the radar once again, as it gets dragged out of hibernation. As American Idiot has been narrowly forgotten about; its brush with authority was Green Day’s backlash against a Country swamped in guilt and denial. But the Rock Opera has been placed among the all time greats, its status as one the most controversial but wholesome analyses of torn unity.

Green Day has passed through many musical doors, some took them to near extinction, and some took them too unparalleled success. Not to mention, they commenced under the influence of Teenage experimentation, they burrowed excessively, and made their point that immature latch-key kids can make serious music. Now middle aged, Green Day are a more mature outfit, a band destined to withdraw from political clutches, a band on a mission to become punk’s troublesome darlings once again.

What route will Green Day take? Will it be a trail down emulation lane, or will be something completely new? Will the ghost of Dookie play its part in the bands next motive, or can that ghost finally rest. Dookie comes up in conversation so many times when regarding Green Day, its masterful inclusion and groundbreaking stance was a developmental leap for the act that were still young in appearance but so mature in mindset.

Green Day is a band labelled as turncoats, heavily misguided into Mainstream rock, branded as sell out merchants by Fans who never really jumped around in American Idiots passion. Green Day may have altered their appearance, becoming a cleaner and more defined act, but certainly not changing their musical lookout to fit into a music industry corroded with plastic pop and pretty boys. Rock is a musical phenomenon build by hard graft, it’s a top pillar in Music’s growth, but now filled by such mediocrity.

2009 may be a punch in the face of the Musical hierarchy counting every dime they have gained from an entertainment they couldn’t care about. Green Day could offer an upgrade, a new sense of stimulation for fans yearning for something fresh, something that hits a new scale but also breaking the stronghold of Bands living on borrowed time.
