GREEN DAY21st CENTURY 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.

The introductory track, 'Song Of The Century', I had heard clips of previously on Green Day's website. Despite being only 58 seconds long, it intrigued me with the way it sounded as though it was being played on a low quality radio from a distance.
'21st Century Breakdown', sharing the title of the album, is reminiscent of American Idiot's 'Jesus Of Suburbia', and brings an upbeat and cheerful start to the album, despite the deeper message of the song.
Having been previously released as a single, 'Know Your Enemy' is a simple, catchy song using only 2 chords for the main riff. It is of a similar sound to 'American Idiot', which strikes me more as punk rock than the alternative that iTunes has branded it as ...
