    Arguably, the most anticipated release of 2009, 21st Century Breakdown is the eighth studio album from American punk-rock heroes Green Day. Following a string of commercial hits, the monumental success of 2004's groundbreaking 'American Idiot' secured the trio's place in rock history. Nearly five years in the making, the unenviable task of recording a follow-up to one of the most talked about albums of recent times has resulted in a passionate, bold and cut-throat release in the shape of 21st Century Breakdown.

    Spearheaded by fiery single 'Know Your Enemy', 21st Century Breakdown tells the story of a young couple, Christian and Gloria, as they struggle through the promise and mess of the century so far. The album is divided into three acts - 'Heroes and Cons,' 'Charlatans and Saints' and 'Horseshoes and Handgrenades'.

    With acclaimed producer Butch Vig (producer of Nirvana 's seminal masterpiece, 'Nevermind', among others) at the desk, 21st Century Breakdown is a sublime, ambitious rock album that meets every expectation. A rock opera of monumental proportions, the band have stated that Queen, The Clash and Bruce Springsteen have influenced this release, although the passionate vocal performance of Billie Joe Armstrong and the hugely distinctive driving rhythm section of Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool confirm that this is nothing but a stunning Green Day album.

    21st Century Breakdown is also available in a Deluxe Edition.

I don't understand how anyone can say that american idiot is full of good songs and this isn't.
There are three songs i find boring and don't listen to whereas on american idiot theres only about 4 good songs, This is full of good songs that are catchy and fun.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Too much quantity, not enough quality.

Not as good as American Idiot. This album is too long, they've complicated it too much, and too much of it is just filler - annoying intros (eg. Song Of The Century, American Eulogy). I think that they should have put all the energy into making a better, shorter album.

However, there are some songs on the album that redeem:
21 Guns
East Jesus Nowhere
Before The Lobotomy
Christians Inferno
both Viva La Glorias.

All in all, it's an okay album, but don't expect another American Idiot. Some songs are quite boring, but there are still some gems. 21 Guns is easily the standout track.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars WOW! Did'nt think it would be this good!
