So far from the glory days of "Dookie", Green Day really have ruined it. Billie Joe Armstrong and the gang have lost their way over the past few years, releasing dire tracks one after the other; this being no exception.21st Century Breakdown offers nothing new and is just polluting the airwaves with meaningless nonsense. Green Day may think they have donned a new attire and are now political icons, but their messages and political thinking has gone to their heads, all at their music's expense. Gone are the days where they rocked out tracks centering around masturbation and insanity, the days when the music was simple yet effective, and now enters the era of dull, repetitive drivel.
For Green Day I fear there is no turning back. Why would they bother emulating tunes of times gone by when their new layered sound sells so many millions every year? For me this track is just another chronicle from a never ending series of bad releases from a once great band.
