Green Day's new album

Okay, so i know the CD has been out for awhile, but i have to talk about Green Day's most recent album "21st Century Breakdown". Green Day, for some of you who don't know, are a pop punk trio from the east bay area. This CD is the bands second punk rock opera. The story follows Christian and Gloria, a couple coping with the everyday struggle of the modern world. The two characters are complete opposites, though they play off of each other in an enchanting way. Gloria, the main character, is optimistic about the future and tries to solve problems in constructive and rational ways. On the other hand, Christian is angry, and is more willing to let out is inner demons and solve problems by burning them all away. The CD starts with a solo by front man Billie Joe Armstrong, titled "Song of the Century". The CD targets all of the problems in the world today, including the unnecessary rise of technology, natural disasters, war, and of course, politics, and how its almost impossible to cope with all of the nonsense that covers today's society. I loved this CD, and the story it held. I really connected with the characters and the main story. I'm ecstatic that well known figures, like Tre' Cool, Mike Dirnt, and Billie Joe Armstrong, aren't afraid to give everyone a piece of their mind. Although many don't agree with the messages that they're sending, i fully agree! Congratulations Green Day, for all of your success!! I hope to see more of your work in the future!
