The Disappearing Boy Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Uno is actually really underrated. Usually when I listen to an album I always find about 3-4 songs I don't like that much. Uno had 12 really fun songs. Well then. Their worst album for me. Along with Dos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic_Rattlehead Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 This is my same argument for the trilogy, some of the songs you named, like Christian's Inferno, Horseshoes and Handgrenades and American Eulogy are my favourite songs on the album. So with all the songs there, I can listen to the ones I like, and you can listen to the ones you like, then we're both happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 why do so many people dislike horseshoes and handgrenades?? it's one of my favorites on the album... There seems to be a recent plague of Horseshoes and Handgrenades haters on here . I'm sure it used to be one of the most popular on the album, I remember in the 21st CB era everyone wondered why they didn't play it live and there was loads of praise for it.

R_Z-Log Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 No matter what they did, the follow up album to American Idiot was going to be "Flawed" in the eyes of critics and fans. When you're at the absolute top of the world, there's nowhere to go but down. With that said. No, 21st Century Breakdown is not half-assed, and it's one of my favorite albums of theirs.

green day is Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's just pretty bland, it doesn't really move anywhere or move the album anywhere. As a song it just kind of wanders around the same riff and melody the whole time and as a part of an album it seems like it's trying to set a tone for Christian that's already been set by Christian's Inferno.

JOE THE X-KID Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's a brilliant album and one of the best things Green Day had done. The production ruins it at times though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 It's a brilliant album and one of the best things Green Day had done. The production ruins it at times though. Personally I love the production. I think the mastering ruins it a bit because the over-compression really sucks the life out of it, but the unmastered FLAC version is a work of art. It really shows off the nuances of what Butch Vig did before Ted Jensen butchered the dynamics by mercilessly boosting the volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 If it was 21 GDC I would put it in top 5 but it's not so... I just don't think I'll ever understand what you don't like about American Idiot and Breakdown. I can understand liking "old" Green Day more, but it doesn't make those two albums shit, y'know?

DirtyRottenForgotten Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Personally 21st Century Breakdown is my personal favorite album of all time. Even though Christian's Inferno is my least favorite Green Day song I think it still has it's place in the album as a whole. The Static Age, American Eulogy, and 21st Century Breakdown are some of my all time favorite Green Day songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
