21st Century Breakdown is 18 brand-new tracks of Green Day at their very best. And that's not just a sales pitch. Their talent really does seem to always be peaking.
After the monstrous success (not to mention political impact) of American Idiot, it's hard to imagine anything topping it. But, by all counts, 21st Century Breakdown packs a more profound wallop than anything Green Day has done before. Where American Idiot criticized and complained, 21st Century Breakdown analyzes and empowers. This time around, Green Day's mission isn't to overthrow the government. It's to ignite a snarling punk spark in every listener so that we can enter the next chapter of history thinking critically, and actually make a lasting change. Listen up.
"Song Of The Century," "Know Your Enemy," "Last Of The American Girls," "Horseshoes and Handgrenades," it's all here and it's all free -- every track. Get to it.
