A Christian review of Breakdown

[.Militza.]

I have a feeling that when EJN itself is released as a single and a wider audience hears it... well, it may be only the beginning of "righteous indignation." I can't wait for heads to explode...but that's just me. I may be projecting, but I have seen and heard way too many things from folks like this reviewer and have learned that they don't know when to let it go. EJN is a powerful song with a pointed message about religion. It's bound to raise some brows. I don't think Billie Joe would have written it if he didn't think it wouldn't cause some commotion.

Same here.

And I can't wait for that to happen

I see the same site also has a review of Insomniac:

"On 'Geek Stink Breath' Billie Joe Armstrong sings, 'I'm on a mission/I made my decision to lead a path of self-destruction.' Pray that teens don't follow him."

Amazing how they take everything so literally!

The review is a little more thoughtful, but not by much.

My favorite part is their censoring of b--tard. I'm just going to start calling people btards now. I like the sound of it.

Here's the topless Gloria(mind you, you can't really see anything). Side boob.

Heh, side boob. I never noticed that, nor am I offended by it. Assholes.

Personally, I thought the album was more about hope than despair. But, then again, I thought MCRs 'Three Cheers...' was about hope. I might just be a little bit mental.

And that, which I just found on the same site, is why I have no time for religion!

Oh dear lord! That article is ridiculous.

4) Use (and teach) the WWJD concept. Ask, "What would Jesus watch; what would Jesus listen to?" before renting a video, going to a movie or allowing a CD to blare forth its message in your home.

"Blare forth its message?" Are you serious? hahaha.

The f-word peppers this 33-minute ode to self-loathing and despair.

^That's from the Insomniac "review" and it really made me laugh.

[Hermione]

^LOL number 4 amused me too .

I had an American friend at middle school who wasn't allowed to listen to any music that wasn't about Jesus or watch TV. I think her parents were following similar guidelines. It's mind-boggling that anyone can actually live like that.
