GREEN DAY
21stCENTURY BREAKDOWN
Years ago when I was a lot younger than I now find myself, I discovered a band that made me excited made me feel music could be fun, id never really enjoyed music till this point.
That band was obviously Green Day, with their punky take on pop music I was hooked like musical heroin.
Well over the years this band grew up, as did I.
First album on the turn to the 90?s,?1039 smoothed out slappy hours? was simple yet very effective punk pop which made me jump around like a loon.
They followed this with a punky master class taking hints from all the greats but blending in their own soft sloppy pop, and guess what, it really worked, following the success of this album Green Day were signed to a major label a big no-no to many fans but to me it meant more money to make great music.
They followed this ...
Advantages: A good mixture of rock and ballad songs. They have treated us with 18 masterpieces! Disadvantages: None!
21stCentury Breakdown is Green Day's 8th studio album. It was released on May 15th, and after being very impressed with their previous album 'American Idiot' i was expecting alot from them - and they certainly haven't disappointed. Infact, it's a step above in my opinion. The album reached number 1 in the UK album charts. The genre is alternative/punk rock.
