The Great Saiyaman Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Yeah I love it too. I used to absolutely hate the thing but in recent years I've really come around on it. It really is a great album! I've been listening to the title track so much recently and man that song just never gets old to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jengd Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Funny, I hadn't listened to this in ages either, have had Revrad on repeat, but played it again last week and had forgotten how much I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian's Inferno! Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 It's my favourite album (If you coudn't guess) Even more epic than AI. The lyrics are just as good as American Idiot, if not better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lyrics are just as good as American Idiot, if not better Yeah! I remember for a while these were actually the reasons I didn't like it. For a while I thought it was a bit formulaic and just a bit overrated. A little too epic for me, I guess (Obviously that's not what I think now ). Now these are also the reasons I love it! I think the lyrics give it a really cool vibe that I really dig now and the length of the album and individual songs also help with the epic ness. It's not my favorite now or anything, but I'm very glad I've come around on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudley dawson Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 It's an ok album but probably Green Day's worst TBH. It's too long with too much filler (despite moments of greatness like Restless Heart Syndrome and 21 Guns). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefano Bras Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 This is exactly what will happen with Revolution Radio, 10 years from now people will look back and say "Hmm actually it wasn't so bad, I kinda dig it now" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Big Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 21st Century Breakdown is a masterpiece. Such epic music and such poetic, well thought out, lyrics. Billie at his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyChunks Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 It's funny, with the release of a new album I'll usually listen to it nonstop for months and months (like I have been with RevRad) and then eventually go back to a prior album heavily as well. I've done it every time. And this time my "go-to" album post RevRad has been 21CB. I don't know if there's some musical linkage or it just makes sense since it's now had a good 8 years or so to season, but it seems lots of us are doing the same. Interesting- maybe it's the contrasts between the releases (RevRad was a relatively straightforward release- only one extended suite and a pretty direct album overall, while 21CB was epic and super ambitious and contrasts with RevRad on many levels).

UNICORN VOMIT Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 21CB is my most listened to GD album but I have had RevRad on repeat in the car this week - skipping Youngblood of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jonny Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I've loved them all from first listen. After that they just grow on me more and more, so anything I don't love at first listen just tends to get better over time. I don't tend to skip tracks, I usually listen to the whole album either way. With 21CB it's a little different, it's long as hell so usually I only listen to half at one time.

The Grohl Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I never really understood the hate for this album. I remember loving it after the first listen. I felt this pride for the band because they made such a great album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrism17 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I've been a fan since the old days but 21CB has become my personal favorite album of theirs. I know a lot of old school fans hate on it, but I think it is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 This album is my favourite too. It helps that I associate it with good memories too, around 2009ish (just finishing my GCSEs, and my first GD gig being the same day the music video for 21CB came out.) It gives me nothing but good feelings, I think every single song has its place and it's also probably my favourite album in terms of aesthetic and artwork too.

I guess as usually happens people started to appreciate it less once it turned out not to be as successful as American Idiot (one example being Kerrang giving it 5/5 when it came out, having only given AI 4/5, but later pretending it was the other way round) but it was recognized as being good at the time. Seems like how successful an album ends up being is what determines how it's remembered rather than the actual reaction to the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyxLongview Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I was obsessed with this album when it first came out and thought it was better than American Idiot. Now I almost never listen to it in full due to how long it is and because there are a few songs I would skip, but there are some really great songs on it that I still come back to a lot.
