21st Centuary Breakdown
When I first heard about the new album I was thrilled. You know, the whole new excitement to a brand new album by one of the most influential bands of your time. Until I heard that this album was going to be heavily influenced by The Beatles and instantly my stomach started to churn. As much as I like Green Day, the Beatle's seriously make me feel sick and I'm not kidding. I don't know. Never been a fan and I don't think I ever will.
As everyone talked endlessly for weeks about the new album and snippet that was released on websites I pretty much avoided decided there and then that if the album was going to be anything like the Beatle's, sorry but I wouldn't be listening or buying the brand new record. Call me a turn coat I suppose. So when the single " Know your enemy" was finally realised a friend called me up out of the blue and told me that the new single was pretty good, in disbeleif I youtubed it and sat for the short period of time and listened to the track. I have to admit I'm suprised. It didn't sound like I thought it would. It's me we're talking about so of course I had to get proven wrong yet again.
I was suprised. Seriously I was. It sounded like something from the old days back in the early or middle nineties, it sounded so raw and fully of energy compared to American Idiot. For some odd reason I am looking forward to hearing more off the new album and then I'll write another review. I mean I suppose it's not bad considering they used the Beatles as a focus.

I really love the Beatles, lol. But from what I've heard from the new album, it really doesn't sound like the Beatles.
You should always form your own opinion, don't listen to others. =P
I agree it sounds more like the old Green Day...but I do admit, I am extremely disappointed its another concept album. I like hearing songs that are all different, not based around the same story or subject. But of course I'll buy their new album when it comes out, I have all their others!

I can't hear any Beatlesish about those songs to be honest.

I just don't like them. Their sound, everything about them. Same with elvis presley

They Beatles may be their influence, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to sound just like them. Green Day have their own sound, and I quite love it. :D

I'll admit to downloading that 21st Centuary Breakdown (song) demo, and I really really liked it. As for Know Your Enemy, it just didnt think it was so great. Not that its bad, I've just think they can do much better.
Seriously though, why do you dislike The Beatles so much?

I'm not a fan of it.
