21st Century Breakdown - Green Day

21st Century Breakdown is a breakthrough. Green Day is taking on a new sound, and not everyone is happy about it. Some long-term fans yearn for the old-school punk that we all know and love. The fact is, Green Day has matured. They are no longer the pothead slackers from the 90s. They seem to really have put an effort into this album, even if it does sound more poppy then usual. Each song is unique, from slow, calm songs like 21 Guns or Last Night on Earth, to hard, pissed-off songs like East Jesus Nowhere, or Horeshoes and Handgrenades.

I admit, some songs can be boring. "21st Century Breakdown" and "¡Viva la Gloria!" are good examples.

Perfect, no. Superb, yes. 4/5
