Probably the best review I have ever seen. Probably has 8x more artistic merit than what it’s reviewing.

You dudes at Buddyhead should do every review like this for all the bands not worthy of dialog.

bravo!

Wow, this was a pretty great review… now if only you glorious has-beens could stop tricking yourself into getting wet for unfortunate douche-nozzles like No Bunny and Jay the Retard. Seriously.

Having not even heard the album, I completely agree with your review.

I’m going to be the lone voice in the wilderness and actually give Green Day some props,while other modern pop-punk have either continually made the same album for like 15 years or have devolved into some shitty second rate new wave revival band or have outright sucked ass,Green Day has actually put out some solid stuff over the years,Don’t get me wrong lots of times hearing their music is ultra fucking annoying and there’s no doubt we’ll get even more annoyed by this song(as we’ll hear it everywhere,for the next few months,and this song is really lame),but the fruitcakes have been able to pull a memorable song out of their collective asses every now and then and have also put out some fine albums,Dookie despite what everybody wants to believe is a great album,just great Pop-punk,and their other albums have been solid as well,but I know everybody here blames Greenday for the Emo/Pop-punk trend of the last few years,and that is kinda of fair,but that is like blaming Nirvana for all the mediocre bands that came out the wake of grunge,but Chip’s analysis is nonetheless brillant,and they will no doubt win a shit-load of shammy’s and they are considered like The Beatles of Hot-Topic set,and if you do listen to that “know your enemy” song too much you will want to suck on the buisness end of a glock,but more importantly Go Nuggets!!!

Green Day’s current nonsense (and most of the past nonsense) is worlds away from Gilman st. Isn’t this the dictionary definition of selling out?

i wish green day cut the american epic bullshit. go back to the old stuff guys.

I liked Green Day up until late 2005 when you couldn’t go three miloes without hearing something off of American Idiot. I even thought AI was a good album. Call it maturing or whatever, but I could not get excited over this new release, and I can’t even bting myself to listen to anything else they’ve done lately.

21st Century Breakdown seems like a play it safe card. Instead of tearing it all down or branching out, they decide to do another rock opera with nearly the same formula as American Idiot, for that, I can’t respect them. Even if the album is decent, I won’t care because I’ve seen it all before with American Idiot. Basically they’re gunning for the grammy and are now going to be that band that your dad listens to because he wants to be cool and “hip”. They’re going to be that band who continue to have bracelets and hats with the logo’s on them selling at truck stops right next to the beef jerky.

There’s nothing wrong with selling out, but at least make something good to listen to and make sure you didn’t do the same thing five years ago. I know the current state of the world isn’t the greatest, but I don’t need Pop-Punk Springsteen/U2 type of music to preach to me. I’ll just listen to Born In The USA.

Well played, Chip. Well played.

Aren’t you cool. Hating Green Day. Its a pop-punk band. And the typical comments about hottopic and eyeliner and selling out. N of that has anything to do with good pop music. Are people like Iggy Pop and Penelope Houston sell outs too for recording with them?
