Green Day's highly awaited new album, 21st Century Breakdown, drops tomorrow. The leak sounds promising, and this coming from a person who hated American Idiot with a passion.
Highlights include the title track Breakdown with drums that reminisce of Irish bands' bodhrán. Know Your Enemy harks back to the Green Day of yesteryear with its punchy, repetitive lyrics that we'd probably like more if the radio hadn't already played it out. Some of the album gets a little melodramatic, but luckily, Christian's Inferno comes in to perk up the tempo and round out the album.
As always, support your local retailers: the House of Guitars is reopening tonight at midnight to party, and of course, sell you the album.
