Re: First Listen: Green Day's '21st Century Breakdown'

First leak of a new Green Day tune - sounds like an American Idiot reject. Overly-grandiose, epic by design, and lacking in anything memorable. It's like Green Day does Madagascar.
This track will be excusable if the majority of the album is better, so I'm not hopeless, but it looks like another American Idiot to me.
Re: First Listen: Green Day's '21st Century Breakdown'
It sounds NOTHING like Maddy to me.
Freddie Mercury must be spinning in his grave, to have this steaming pile of turd be compared to one of the great Queen songs.
With that said... Gay Day fans should like it. It's totally them. Fag.

It's totally not Green Day until American Idiot. And it's not that the song sounds like Madagascar, its that it stinks of the same forced-epic boredom.
Re: First Listen: Green Day's '21st Century Breakdown'
I really get the whole forced-epic feel out of this song. There's nothing catchy or memorable about this song. The changes don't really seem right to me, and the piano at the beginning is bad.
And it sounds like they are trying to make American Idiot over again. So I'm guessing now they are going to non-conform by conforming some more.

Green Day made almost every girl cry during my prom. Now that just bleeds punk.

Your prom was pre-American Idiot wasn't it?

I'll bet any amount of money it was 'Time of Your Life"
I'm with Jorge on this one. I don't think AI was anti-American.. and I wouldn't want a song to directly reference Iraq, or Bush/Cheney etc. I like it to be more vague. 3rd Eye Blind has a pretty political song out now, that borders on corny because of this. And I haven't really listened to/read all the lyrics, but Jesus of Suburbia is a great song.
Besides, pre-American Idiot Green Day was going downhill & stale. Dookie was never anything more than music for 16 year olds with hair dyed with blue or red kool aid stuff. And their albums began using the same 3 chord schticks over & over (Minority, Warning.. aren't they the same song?!). I can understand if ppl didn't like AI, or Russ thinking it's overrated, but without it they would have faded into obscurity.
