I give this like a 4, while American Idiot gets about an 8.

I just found 21CB to be drawn out, annoying, and completely inferior in general to the rest of their work. And Know Your Enemy is an awful song.

I think "21st" is Green Day's Crowning achievement, trumping "American Idiot" and all of their earlier releases. I picked up Dookie at the time of its release, and I would have never guessed that Green Day would have transformed into the band they are now.

good review

if you really can't find anything interesting, at least savour the "pow! in your face" production values
