This CD is unlike anything greenday have done before. People criticised this and have called this too pop and exactly like American Idiot.WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!! I have never heard Billie Joe Armstrong sound soooo mature. I love the way the songs link together to give you the whole story of Christian and Gloria's love. If you love greenday this is definitly one for you. plus plus THERE IS A LOVE SONG!!!!!!! GREENDAY'S FIRST LOVE SONG! p.s I really hope Greenday don't start changing all their stuff to this logo- which I know that they will unfortunately- cuz I LOVE the heart gernade but American Idiot is over welcome the 21st Century!
after listening to this CD I cannot wait to see them when they come on tour. BRING ON October 20th.
End of an era.
Very disappointing from the boys from Berkley! This album was well produced and Billie's voice has improved with age however the songs are one dimensional. What happened to the catchy riffs and bouncy hooks? Most of these songs are similar and don't warrant a mention. American Idiot was a good album but didn't feel like a Green Day album to me. This is similar but without the aongs! Green Day seem to rely on the 'Ooooo oooo wooo' choruses these days!
Best songs on here are 21st Century Breakdown, Last of the American Girls and 21 Guns......but even these are starting to get tiresome. Green Day were the first band that got me into Rock/Punk/Alternative music, way back in 1995 not long before the release of Insomniac - one of my best memories was waiting outside Woolworths on the day of its release. This is the first time I've been really disappointed by a Green Day album.
The hits just keep on coming...
I've been a huge fan since '94 so I might be a bit biased but this CD is awesome. Continues in the vein of 'American Idiot' but takes the theme of post-modern angst and frustration into the post-Bush era where there is not a clear scapegoat. Big sound, catchy lyrics and riffs, good song-to-song variation. Long may Greenday keep pumping out albums like this!
