About this album
21st Century Breakdown is the eighth studio album by American punk rock band Green Day, released through Reprise Records on May 15, 2009. It is the band’s second rock opera, following American Idiot, and its first album to be produced by Butch Vig. Vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong described 21st Century Breakdown as 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.
The span of nearly five years between American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown was the longest gap between studio albums in Green Day’s career. The band had been working on new material since January 2006. By October 2007, Armstrong had 45 songs written, but the band showed no further signs of progress until October 2008, when a video of the group recording with producer Butch Vig in the studio was posted on YouTube. The writing and recording process, spanning three years and four recording studios, was finally finished in April 2009.
The album received generally positive reception. 21st Century Breakdown achieved Green Day’s best chart performance to date. Upon its release, 21st Century Breakdown reached number one on the charts of at least fourteen countries. The album subsequently achieved number one on the Billboard 200, European Top 100 Albums and UK Albums Charts.

There's nothing wrong with this album. [2] I agree, I like Billie's voice way more on this album than on the older ones. The lyrics are beautiful, too. Really love this!

Maybe some of you will look back at this album in 10-15 years time and see it differently. I notice that some of you are 15-18 years old and weren't around to see 90's Green Day or even truly experience them :P

There's nothing wrong with this album. The problem is YOU people cannot let go of old Green Day, this is not the 1990's anymore. 21st CB is beautifully arranged, nice lyrics and great Musical pieces. This album is FAR from being a failure as it was named the best Rock album of 2009. I might not like "Know Your Enemy" but if you listen to songs like "Last Night On Earth" it sounds like something that was inspired by John Lennon. This album easily shows Billie Joe is an amazing writer and talented musician.

It's funny how I could tolerate this album a few months ago, now I literally can't even bring myself to listen to one track off the album. If they're going to start releasing albums out like this, they should just break up. It'd be for the best, really.

Foxboro Hottubs > this album. Sad, but true. 21 Century Breakdown turned out to be an even bigger disappointment than Nimrod, which had at least a few decent songs on it. Seems to me like they tried too hard to put out another American Idiot. I hope they learn from it and come back with awesome some soon!
