Green Day's long-awaited eighth studio album, entitled 21st Century
Breakdown, has finally arrived. The album is the best-selling
trio's first studio album since 2004's two-time Grammy
Award-winning punk-rock opera American Idiot, which debuted at No.
1 on the Billboardchart, spawned five hit singles, and went on to
sell more than 12 million copies worldwide. 21st Century
Breakdownis divided into three acts: "Heroes and Cons," "Charlatans
and Saints," and "Horseshoes and Handgrenades," and follows a young
couple, Christian and Gloria, through the mess and promise of the
century so far. Songs include "Know Your Enemy," "21 Guns," "East
Jesus Nowhere," "Before the Lobotomy," and "Restless Heart
Syndrome." In a recent feature, Rolling Stonecalled the album "even
more ambitious than American Idiot" and "a record of die-hard punk
ideals...tightly scripted, continually ascending classic-rock
excitement."Singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike
Dirnt, and drummer Tre Coolhave been at work writing, arranging,
and recording 21st Century Breakdownsince early 2006 and are
currently making finishing touches with producer Butch Vig, who is
known for his work with Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage, and
many others.
