New Greenday Album

What did everyone think of it? I thought it was pretty good myself. Standout tracks for me are: "Viva La Gloria!", "Before the Lobotomy" and "Peacekeeper".

On a related note, the 50 odd second song, "Song of the Century" sounds like it would be a perfect fit in the next Fallout game. It's got the whole staticy effect already in the song, and the lyrics definitely fit!

i loved old greenday. it had a unique sound. then american idiot came along. and they just drifted into the mass media ocean of sound alikes. green day has always been political on some level. but it was always a sarcastic tongue and cheek passive politicle sense to them. and the eyeliner? cmon guys. i have nothing wrong with bands wearing makeup. but when you go an entire decade of not that. then one day just happen to show up with eyeliner just like every other band these days. it kinda strikes a sore chord. the final nail in a coffin that did it for me. was when i talked to some chick who though american idiot was their first album and that they were a new band. thats how you know the new green day is nothing like the original with exception of a common name. mediocre generica

I have yet to hear it. Is it good?

its good if you dont like anything new

Honestly, I'm interested to know why you guys think this, do you really think songs like "Basket Case" were better than Jesus of Suburbia? or Saint Jimmy? Stylistically they haven't changed that much. Is it the new political messages you don't like?allnamestaken

I like the older stuff better because it had a more punk feel to it i know bands get older and evolve but too much experimentation kills it.Still prefer Kerplunk and Dookie to any of the stuff later on but Nimrod's got a hold on me atm.Its just how i like it, now i think thats why i like New Found Glory more nowadays since they kept to a formula with the exception of coming home which tooka diffrent stylistic approach but still felt like them.

21st century breakdown wasnt good nor was it bad its just average, theres the songs that remind you of what Green day originally was imo and theres songs that i dont like cause it doesnt sound right with Piano's to be honest with you..Its just not for me.I mean i like American idiot it isnt a forgettable album but its nowhere near any of the stuff that made Green day green day imo.

And stylistically with 21st century they changed a lot imo with the piano driven parts with a more ballad feeling at some point.

And basket case is a Classic Green day song much like She,2000 lightyears away,Platypus (i hate you),Longview,Hitching a ride,Welcome to paradise.Most people would recoqnise those before Jesus of Suburbia for many reasons imo.
