From Wiki: Green Day is an American rock trio formed in 1987.[1] The band has consisted of Billie Joe Armstrong (vocals, guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass guitar, vocals), and Tré Cool (drums, percussion) for the majority of its existence. Green Day was originally part of the punk rock scene at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California. Its early releases for independent record label Lookout! Records earned them a grassroots fanbase, some of whom felt alienated when the band signed to a major label.[2] Nevertheless, its major label debut Dookie (1994) became a breakout success and eventually sold over 10 million copies in the U.S. and 15 million worldwide.[3] As a result, Green Day was widely credited, alongside fellow California punk bands The Offspring and Rancid, with reviving mainstream interest in and popularizing punk rock in the United States.[4][5] Green Day's three follow-up albums, Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning did not achieve the massive success of Dookie, but they were still successful, reaching double platinum, double platinum, and gold status respectively.[6] Green Day's 2004 rock opera American Idiot reignited the band's popularity with a younger generation, selling five million copies in the U.S.[7] The band's eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown, was released on May 15, 2009. Green Day has sold over 22 million records in the United States.[8] They have won three Grammy Awards; Best Alternative Album for Dookie, Best Rock Album for American Idiot, and Record of the Year for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". 21st Century Breakdown 2009-05-15 21st Century Breakdown is Green Day's eighth studio album, which was released on May 15, 2009.[1] It marks Green Day's first album to be produced by renowned producer and Garbage member Butch Vig, who has produced albums such as Nevermind by Nirvana and Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins. This album follows 2004's critically acclaimed American Idiot. Vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong has stated that 21st Century Breakdown is a "snapshot of the era in which we live as we question and try to make sense of the selfish manipulation going on around us, whether it be the government, religion, media or frankly any form of authority."[2][3] This is the longest gap between studio releases for Green Day, as their last album was released in September 2004. Green Day had been working on this album since 2006, but the band showed no signs of a new album until a video of the band recording in studio was posted on YouTube in October 2008.[4] 21st Century Breakdown is 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.[5] Musically, the album continues the rock opera style of American Idiot.[6] Mike Dirnt told Alternative Press magazine that the songs "speak to each other the way the songs on Born to Run speak to each other. I don't know if you'd call it a 'concept album,' but there's a thread that connects everything."[7] MTV compared the material to classic rockers like The Who.[8] Spin Magazine claimed the title track is "Green Day's most epic song yet."[9] Like 2004's American Idiot, the record follows a narrative. The band says that the album chronicles the life of a young couple named Christian and Gloria as they "deal with the mess our 43rd president left behind..."[10] The lyrics on this album are fairly political. Rolling Stone called the album "even more ambitious than American Idiot" and "a record of die-hard punk ideals...tightly scripted, continually ascending classic-rock excitement." The band began mixing the new 18 tracks in March, leading up to songs with radio static and other effects.[11] The band played their first concert featuring all but two of the songs from the album at The Independent in San Francisco on April 7, 2009. The event was open to the public, but was only announced a few hours before it began.[12] On April 11, 2009, the official track list and lyrics were released on the official site. On April 14, 2009, Green Day played the album in full and brought it to life at the Fox Oakland Theater in Oakland, CA. Concert goers were handed deluxe programs containing all of the lyrics of the album on entering the show. The concert and the album's sound were reviewed by David Fricke of Rolling Stone the following day. [13] Green Day stated that Queen, The Clash and Bruce Springsteen have influenced this release On February 10, 2009, a one minute teaser of "Song of the Century" and "21st Century Breakdown" - with a fade in from "East Jesus Nowhere" - combined was released from the album on the official Green Day website. A teaser trailer for the 21st Century Breakdown album was released on the Green Day Official website on March 17, 2009.[5][14] On February 11, 2009, six samples from the album, including "21st Century Breakdown," "Know Your Enemy", "Before the Lobotomy", "East Jesus Nowhere (at the time it was called "March of the Dogs")", "Restless Heart Syndrome", and "21 Guns" were revealed to Entertainment Weekly, and later a number of other news and music companies.[15] The first single, "Know Your Enemy", was released on April 16,[16] and a 90-second teaser of the song was used as the intro to the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Championship game on April 6. On April 5, a 30 second fragment of the song was revealed on the band's website.[5] The music video for the song was premiered internationally on April 24th on the MTV UK website.[17] The video is currently available on the band's MySpace profile.[18] The album was officially released on May 15th, 2009 in stores around the world. Reception of the album has generally been favorable and positive, the DailyMusicGuide calling the album "enthused, fresh, punchy and melodic", claiming the band has "pulled Green Day up from being just a punk band to a true anthemic stadium band."[19], The Observer Music Monthly praised the album, awarding it four of five stars and likening it to both Bruce Springsteen's music and the avant-garde writing of Chuck Palahniuk, celebrating its "engrossing narrative." Entertainment Weekly stated "AMERICAN GENIUSES: Rockers Green Day give their breakdown of the new millennium," giving the album a B. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone gave the album four-and-a-half stars, stating that, in comparison to the band's previous effort, "21st Century Breakdown is even better, so masterful and confident it makes Idiot seem like a warm-up." With regards to the band, he added that on the album "they revitalize the whole idea of big-deal rock stars with something to say about the real world. They're keeping promises they never even made, promises left behind by all the high-minded Nineties bands that fell apart along the way." [20] Rolling Stone called the song "March of the Dogs" (later retitled "East Jesus Nowhere") "a biting indictment of contemporary religion," and quoted some anti-war lyrics on the song "21 Guns."[7] The Times called the album a masterpiece "because it realizes its ambitions" and stated that it carries the spirit of The Who, David Bowie, Queen, the Ramones, the Sex Pistols and The Clash.[21] They conclude the article by saying that "Lyrically, it may succeed in capturing the contradictions, vulnerabilities and longing for harmony that thrum through Armstrong, Dirnt and Cool, their country, and humanity as a whole. But its real triumph, in an age of trimming, of market testing, of self-censorship and lowest common denominators, is not simply to aim insanely high, but to make it to the summit." However, criticism has tended to center on the concept of the album. The BBC whilst not overly critical, criticised the concept and lyrics of the album, "griping vaguely against 'authority'" and that "too many buzz words obscure incisive meaning".[22] Sputnikmusic reviewer, Adam Downer, was also critical of the concept calling it "more conceptually vague/ridiculous than American Idiot" and questioned the clarity of the lyrics[23] which was echoed by The Guardian's [24]Alexis Petridis, who wrote that "the storyline becomes impossible to follow". In some shops, the purchase of the record came with a free poster which had the album art on it.[25] There are two limited editions: a booklet with 52 pages, lyrics and C.D., and a triple ten-inch vinyl (limited to 3,000 copies). Buyers of the vinyl release were granted access to a download of the full album at midnight on May 15th. Responding on his personal blog, artist Sixten spoke about his design for 21st Century Breakdown's artwork. "I actually don't know who they are... they [the couple] were just friends of a friend at a party in Eskilstuna, Sweden. Something like that. I wasn't even there." Instead, the artist explained, a mutual friend snapped a picture of the pair kissing, which then inspired Sixten. "I love their passion, and just had to make a stencil out of it to spread the love," he explained with images of the original picture and his stencil. "I've painted it a bit here and there on my travels over the years...I have so many memories connected to this image and it really means a lot to me. Glad it inspired someone." Tracks: Title: 1.
