After the raging success of "American Idiot" there was always going to be a lot of expectation in terms of the next Green Day album. With 18 tracks and a running time of just over 69 minutes you certainly get value for money. I also like the idea of splitting the album into three "acts". The album opens ...  Read the complete review

It's hard to believe that it's been five years since American Idiot dominated the airwaves with single after single of pop-punk genius: it was impossible to avoid. Now Billie Joe Armstrong and his band (and make no mistake, it is his band) are back with a new record, and a huge amount of expectation. Firstly, the good news: 21st ...  Read the complete review

GREEN DAY 21st CENTURY BREAKDOWN Years ago when I was a lot younger than I now find myself, I discovered a band that made me excited made me feel music could be fun, id never really enjoyed music till this point. That band was obviously Green Day, with their punky take on pop music I was hooked like ...  Read the complete review

What to say about this album. Well apart from being one of the best American Punk bands, Green day have come along way from Dookie with this album. Green Day wanted to write a follow up to their 2004 album American Idiot, which follows one lost Teenager, nicknamed Saint Jimmy through a political landscape until his death in the song Homecoming. ...  Read the complete review

To all of the Green Day haters out there - and there seem to be a fair few - please, please give this album a listen at the very least. That being said, those of you who heard and subsequently disliked American Idiot probably won't like 21st Century Breakdown. As far as I'm concerned, however, the Oakland punk trio have created yet another work of ...  Read the complete review

Green Day are a band which at the moment, it is popular to hate, and this album will give more ammunition to those haters to throw at anyone willing to hear it...I happen to disagree. Yet more of a maturity from American Idiot, they're a changed band but that doesn't mean it's any worse, if they were stiull singing songs about drugs and ...  Read the complete review

Greenday is a long selling band with a number of good songs that only need a few chords and snappy lyrics to make thier songs amazing. With just a few more melodies and chords they have managed thier best album yet. They have managed to pull it off again keeping a similar story telling feel like American Idiot. Green day have managed to ...  Read the complete review

You know what they say about buses? Wait for one and four come along at once. While I always knew that the same saying applied to women, I never realised that it was the same with albums too. For, while spending ages listening to older albums, even if it is of bands I have only recently began listening too, I suddenly discovered that in the space ...  Read the complete review

21st Century Breakdown (2009) Green Day. Having only just bought this on download in the last two weeks, it is quite unusual for me to review an album so quickly. Though as I have listened to it probably 20 times already it seems appropriate to review now, though I have to say, I already have a feeling that my opinion may ...  Read the complete review

Green Day.. a band that I 'discovered' at school when 'Basket Case' was the song of the Sixth Form. Back then they were all about loud anthemic punk songs about hating your parents, masterbation and practical jokes! Nowadays their music maintains their unique sound but is all grown up, as is the subject matter. Frontman Billie Joe ...  Read the complete review

This has to be one of the greatest albums of all time as it combines a mixture of slow and fast tempo songs that are just so catchy. The album is split into three acts and tells the story of Christian and Gloria, who are two young lovers living in the 21th century. The first act begins with a short intro that sounds like an ...  Read the complete review
