*cough*21stcenturybreakdown*cough*

To me that was another level plus.

21st Century Breakdown is such a masterpiece. I would love to have every Green Day song rerecorded and remixed in the style of 21stCB 😍 (including all American Idiot songs, they sound so amazing on the album of the Musical)

Personally I just want them to put out *a* song

I don't see EJN as being similar to Holiday. The only thing I can think of as a notable similarity is having a bass/drum interlude in the middle of the track but that to me isn't enough to make that conclusion. 21 Guns is similar to BOBD but that alone isn't really enough to suggest 21CB is just a recycled album that takes from older albums. There are a ton of tracks on there that are very unique, different from everything that came before. Before the Lobotomy, Christian's Inferno, Peacemaker, the Viva la Glorias. Those recycled melodies aren't really a big deal imo because otherwise the tracks are completely different from each other. Static Age uses the melody of Church on Sunday but if you disregard that fact, are these 2 songs similar in any other notable way? American Eulogy uses melody of Deadbeat Holiday but again, these are completely different songs in basically every other way, and I can't think of any other recycled melodies in the album 21CB definitely takes elements from AI, but that to me doesn't suggest laziness, lack of inspiration or ideas. I guess it just comes down to personal opinion and preferences. Do you think these elements came from being out of ideas, or do you think it's just a logical evolution of what they were doing on AI, call backs to some of their older songs (In an album that calls back to Song of the Century and the instrumental intro to the title track in American Eulogy and See the Light, it also doesn't really seem unreasonable for someone to believe those "recycled melodies" were also intentional). I mean, Billie has compared LNOE to some of the songs from their early EPs but despite the similarities, I think of LNOE as a completely different beast. I personally think every song on 21CB is at the very least a strong 8/10, that's definitely not unique to 21CB but considering it's an 18 track album, I think that makes for a very good album. This is also going to come down to personal opinion. Are those completely original tracks good enough to compare to the fresh, original ideas of AI or older albums? I think so

Just realized this time we have a new player in the fake cover art race: AI 👀

American Idiot Broadway musical is Just American Idiot produced in the style of 21stcbd.. i only wished they added Billies vocals and it would've been perfect.. She's a rebel version is just so damn good

I just want one more good, angry song from Green Day not Platypus or Let Yourself Go kind of angry, but more American Idiot/East Jesus Nowhere

21CB is probably more intricate, but AI has more Green Day style, emotion, and better lyrics. And just a more succinct and forceful product overall.

Don’t agree. American Idiot is levels above. I feel that 21cb, they felt so pressured to top that, that they chucked too many songs on it & because they were out of ideas they recycled old melodies - church on Sunday / static age. 21 guns is another attempt at a BOBD. east Jesus nowhere was another attempt at holiday. it’s a shame because there’s magic like BTL and see the light but American Idiot is miles ahead of 21cb because everything on it is so inspired and fresh.

Another off topic but today I had a listen to American Idiot album after a long time and I've gotta say ... Damnnnn that album is on another level..from start to finish..it was just amazing.. sure the other albums are just good enough but I've gotta say AI is on another level.. Even non GD fans love it.. I even wonder if they'll produce another album at that level, but i doubt it..

I think it's all linked though. Being a speculation topic, the discussions will include past albums and individual songs and whether or not they will have an influence on the new album. It's happened before, so 'The Forgotten' discussion led to maybe going off topic slightly. So, what the fuck does it matter. In my ignorance I had never heard of 'slap delay' so I've learnt something. And it's not the first time. It creates an interest and guys post their views, as with every topic. This is what this community is all about. So, we're in page 288. What does that tell you. It's one of and maybe the most popular topics going at the moment. IMHO a very interesting and enjoyable topic. It can be serious; it can be a laugh. And guys keep coming back for more. If the topic was shit, we would still be one page 1.

One on the right looks like Matt Bellamy in the middle and Tom from Blink 182 to the right.

If you google images of "green day 1972", I'm the first thing that comes up. My life has meaning. Unless this album sucks, but what are the chances of that? 1 to 99 or 99 to 1?

Green Day will promote the 'Alison' release on friday tomorrow, I guess

Billie is waiting until we close this thread and then he will sing every single post contained here as lyrics for the new album. He's gonna be spitting fast and gosh darn we should have rhymed and been sad more.

Oh that’s weird I couldn’t even unselect the one option and select again but instead I just clicked “save shipping speed” and now it says Jan 27!

He’s fried his brain with drugs and alcohol at least to some extent.

Green Day "The Ride" documentary broadcast through MTV November 2016. Only found the advert so far. The site FanPop has it but is copywrite blocked.

Dreamt I met Billie (not unusual for me to) while filming another movie like Ordinary World.

same track list of the fan-album album

We all need something to talk about to pass the time as we wait. But don’t worry guys, we’re in the year of the new album, so it’s only a matter of time before we hear the announcement!!

I’m keeping my hopes low I bet whatever new content it contains will be short, like the BBC release, just a few pages of reminiscing from Rob or someone from recording and the rest just old promotional materials. It would be cool if the band actually took the time to comment on each track or add their own stories about it, something we haven’t heard before.

I'm excited to see what kind of stuff they include with the 20 page booklet that comes with this. I hope it's not just photos, although some unreleased studio photos would be pretty cool. With the Ramones 40th anniversary sets the booklets included stuff written by the producers who worked on those albums, I would love to see Rob write something for the booklet, I kinda doubt the band would write something for it but an interview would be cool

Billie looks a bit like Insomniac era Billie.

I think he’ll probably dye it dark again for the PR period but I hope he lets it go natural, he looks so good with it and he should know we love him regardless of his hair!

This is pretty embarrassing but I dreamed in the future and saw GD live in about 20 years. They were still good but I really missed Billie's energy he didn't do many heyos

I just manually changed the shipping speed on Amazon, and it now has January 27th as the delivery date.
