Burnout98 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Hi everyone, i'm new here to GDC and i decided to start a new thread to start myself off. I think no-one had created this yet... (i hope) Anyway people have been debating on which album is better, American Idiot or 21st Century Breakdown. In my opinion, American Idiot is better because all of their songs are just outstanding and unlike 21st Century Breakdown, don't have songs that you just don't want to listen to. But that's my opinion, i want to know yours!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk-tastic32 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 This is liking picking between... between.. um, geez I can't think of a decision that's this hard... AI when I want energetic-fast paced riot-songs. 21CB when I want to relax, and listen to something different than what I usually listen to. I listen to them almost the same amount. Green Day wins.

Yeah i think you're right, but with me, i'm usually always energetic and in a mood for AI so thats why i like AI better. And yes..... Green Day wins.

Jasmine Hopkins Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 American Idiot. But seriously. 21 Century Breakdown kicks some serious ass. AI is what REALLY got me into Green Day though, so all credit goes to that album. I'll NEVER get sick of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk-tastic32 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Yeah i think you're right, but with me, i'm usually always energetic and in a mood for AI so thats why i like AI better. . Lol, yes. AI does get that winning edge to it. But straight up comparison, they're both have they're own strong points over each other and I don't think I can choose one that is 100% defiantly better than the other.

BringMoreKnives Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 American Idiot. I like it better than 21CBD because it's more...raw, maybe? and 21CBD was just a bit too polished. Also I liked the storyline of AI better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayish Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 American Idiot is Green Day's magnum opus. It is their best album, in almost every category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sara_gd Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I think I posted this before... American Idiot is my favourite album, so yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDJonny Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 People say AI and 21CB are similar, but American Idiot has a much more RAW feeling to it. It's more Punk in my opinion. 21CB is still a great album in lots of ways but for me, not at the level of AI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSaltOfTheEarth Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Oh god. Possibly my two favorite albums ever. Both are so great in their own respective ways...I honestly can't answer this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mar Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Gotta go with AI. It's classic. Love 21CB, obviously, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green day blink 182 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 21st Century Breakdown is in the top 3 or 4 Green day albums for me nut it aint got SHIT on American Idiot ! Its The Best Album Of All Time to me:D but i still LOVE 21CB dont get me wrongg:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocity Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 This is like choosing your favorite child. Not possible. American Idiot is the ultimate comeback album. It's the album that got me into Green Day. The lyrics really helped me through some hard times, and for that it's always going to be really special to me. 21st Century Breakdown is a musical masterpiece. It took Green Day to a creative level that no one had ever seen before, and their subsequent tour has been the best in their whole career. BUT. The production left a lot to be desired and that takes away from it. It's a tossup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarina. Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 .............i'm guessing on most things you just say nimrod right? Nah, only in threads when albums are being compared, which one we like better. My favorite Green Day album is Nimrod, but I don't really prefer to listen to certain albums more. It depends on how I feel. I love AI, but lately I've been playing 21st Century Breakdown over and over again. I love all of Green Day. No offense, but I think threads like these are similar to "What is your favorite GD song" threads. It's a matter of taste, and we have individual album threads to discuss what we think about them.
