Green Day Hits Stores
21st Century Breakdown, GREEN DAY’s highly-anticipated eighth studio album, is being released worldwide today, Friday May 15th, by Reprise Records. The album is the follow-up to 2004’s two-time Grammy Award-winning punk-rock opera American Idiot, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart, spawned five hit singles, and went on to sell more than 12 million copies worldwide.
Produced by Butch Vig (Garbage, Jimmy Eat World), 21st Century Breakdown has already earned rapturous reviews from top media outlets, such as Rolling Stone, which called it “even more ambitious than American Idiot” and “a record of die-hard punk ideals?tightly scripted, continually ascending classic-rock excitement,” and the New York Times, which noted in an Arts & Leisure cover story that in its drive to top themselves “Green Day has dared to offer something far denser and more demanding: a whirlwind of thoughts about activism, redemption, and destruction. The rage and sorrows of American Idiot are pushed even further in 21st Century Breakdown, in songs where idealism and the urge to annihilate are constantly grappling, never far apart.”

SMN is soooooo trendy.
Green Day is trendy? What year do you live in?
I thought this was supposed to be a METAL news site. No more pop punk bullshit maaan.
holy shit
stop posting Green Day news
no one should ever give a fuck about Green Day
Even though I really don’t like this band at all, to each their own.
WAY too many elitist’s on this site, ha.
IMO This band died right before American Idiot
what a crap album that was
Me & my friends wiated all night to buy this, like OH MY GOD it is such an amazing album, I just had to gobble my BF’s cock while listening to it! I LOVE GREEN DAY!!!!!! THEY ARE THE GREATEST METAL GROUP.. I LOVE THEM MORE THEN MSI!!!!
Oh and for all you sexy studs that want a piece of my tight lil emo ass call me @ 734-205-0534
Doesn’t the vocalist of this band (whatever his name is) look kinda like a washed up fuckin’ Matt Holt from Nothingface in this picture?
I never liked Green Day, and I don’t understand why the American Idiot was so overrated. This new song Know Your Enemy actually sounds ok. Granted people on this site don’t care about anything unless it’s metal.
wait.. green day is still around?!?!?! lol…
and i too agree… isnt this site METAL news?
not pop punk….
then again…. just think how funny green day would be if it was all death metal of some sort… might need a name change? “Black Night?” per-say?
