As you know, Green Day's new album "21st Century Breakdown" came out yesterday, May 15th. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a Best Buy/Target on the drive to Cleveland, so we had to wait until today to get the CD. We stopped at Best Buy this morning; Jason, Bruno, and I each got our own copy of the CD and the band just finished listening to it in the van. Verdict = Holy Hell... I never thought they could step out of the shadow of American Idiot, but they did it! This is probably my new favorite Green Day album of their entire career, a bold statement to make, if you ask me. I'm not going to lie, even after I heard the first single, "Know Your Enemy", I was a bit skeptical, but don't let that song fool you. Tracks to ESPECIALLY look for (If you're a lame-o that's not gonna get the whole CD) In order of appearance: ¡Viva La Gloria!, Last Night on Earth, East Jesus Nowhere, Peace Maker, and... Nah, screw that, make sure you listen to the ENTIRE Album. P.S. In Act Two, "Charlatans and Saints", they're bringing back some of the really cool elements of Warning, such as they new, and revamped gypsy rock style, as I've dubbed it.
