Is there nothing that this band produces mediocre? Far and away the best band on thr planet in the last 20 years, 21st Century Breakdown follows on superbly from American Idiot and in some of the songs, is even edgier. "Know Your Enemy" is a traditional punk 3-chord sung with energy and passion, "East Jesus Nowhere" takes the p*ss out American religious fanatics and "21 Guns" will live on as one of the great anti-war chants of all time alongside "Give Peace A Chance" and "Born In The USA". The title song has a great video to it, but the best song on the album is the hard-hitting, in-your-face "Horseshoes & Handgrenades". If you've not seen this band live, sell your granny to get a ticket - you won't regret it!
Imagine, Their Groundbreaking American Idiot album, MIxed with The Who's album "Who's Next". What do you get? New age exciting 21st Century Rock and Roll. This latest album by Greenday is just that. I would go as far to say that this album is probably one of the best that i have heard since american idiot. The album starts off with a prologue song about the 21st Century. We come straight in to an intro very similar to Won't Get fooled again by the who and stong power chords and that synth panning from side to side. The album developes as it progresses and comprises of 3 "Acts" Each developing and folding into one another. The middle few tracks of the albume slow down using more piano orientated tracks which seems that whole album has been influenced by The Who. As there are some very substantial similarities in style and production. However, as we enter the second half of the album we return to classic American Idiot style Greenday. The last couple of songs become more heavy metal with louder vocals and loud muddy guitar and bass and a Fast Drum beat in the background. The second single "21 Guns", is a very atmospheric, epic and impacting to such a great album with a similar structure and production to there past big hits such as "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams". Again, The Who and Greenday are very alike in there structure and instrumentation choices and this song backs this up. The use of Acoustic Guitar intro's and breakdowns, Heavy Metal Chorus and Verse. The use of some sort of synthesised pad to slow the song down at various points results in a very anthemic musical masterclass. The final section reverts back to the mor rock and roll style at the beginning of the album concluding the album with songs about hysteria/nostalgia and the future. In conclusion, this album has everything you expect from a classic rock album. Loud choruses, smooth swithes between tracks, impressive breakdowns and varied instrumentation. I would recommend this album to anyone no matter what you are "in to" As this album covers many genres and will help you to remeber all of those classic bands from the 60s and 70s through the chords used were most popular in that era. Finally, the connotation/concept of this album is what greenday think about where we are and and where we are going as a human race in this 21st century. Thanks For Reading. ValRead full review
Absolutely amazing! I thought Green Day would have peaked with American Idiot, but they have just moved to another league! This is well worth the money - and if you are struggling for money there is nowhere cheaper than Ebay! Get it second hand, bid on it - just get it - this is a must have! Album of the 21st century. Best Tracks include: 21st century Breakdown, Know Your Enemy, 21 Guns. But they are all of the highest Green day quality. Remember you are getting 18 tracks! If you like any Green Day songs you will undoubtedly like a fair few more after this. Enjoy!
