Green Day Release Date

2009-04-01 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 61 Comments
Green Day's eight studio album 21st Century Breakdown, their first since 2004's American Idiot, has been confirmed for a Friday, May 15 worldwide release.

The album, produced by Butch Vig (Garbage, Nirvana), is divided into three acts: 'Heroes And Cons,' 'Charlatans and Saints' and 'Horseshoes and Handgrenades.' It follows a young couple named Christian and Gloria (very subtle) through the "mess and promise of the century so far", taking in titles like '21 Guns,' 'East Jesus Nowhere,' 'Before The Lobotomy' and 'Restless Heart Syndrome.'

Lead single 'Know Your Enemy' will be released for digital download later this month.

I didn't know Butch Vig produced the album. I'm gonna hope for the best, but expect the worst.

I don't know quite what to think of this. It's not as catchy as American Idiot and its even more arena-rockish.

It's a concept album- you slightly have to take into consideration the placement of the track and how it relates to the prior or
extends into the later tracks. Until a full (inevitable) leak, I'll remain partially unbiased.This Message Edited On 04.01.09
