does the album reminds you to what happen in your country?

[jesus the rage guy]

to me, at least, reminds me to some stupid chaos about whatever these days

even when everything is ok, seems to be chaos lightning in the air...

so, you feel like 21st century breakdown reminds you to the chaos already in your fucking country?

[Juan]

yes.

particularly Static Age

[theeulogy]

Yeah

Just like American Eulogy

[.:Whatsername:.]

It reminds me of the chaos going on everywhere in the world these days, not just my own country. There's never a day when you don't hear of something horrible happening somewhere. Just look at Tehran right now. It's sad, really, but I'm glad that the CD (and American Idiot as well, for me) make me think about these kinds of things. Before I discovered Green Day and before American Idiot I could have cared less about what's going on in the world that didn't directly involve me. But thanks to these CD's and the songs I do care now. I've learned differently.

Particularly on 21st Century Breakdown, the song 21 Guns. Soooo many things go through my mind when I listen to that song, not just war, which seems to obviously be the main idea behind it. American Eulogy does it too, especially the parts that Mike sings.

[EmmOuGR]

absolutely yes

[Sharmellow]

Yeah

Just like American Eulogy

Same.

[Starred Thoughts]

definitely. i agree with others - not just my own country, but the whole world as well. we're in shambles right now.

[Peace and Rainbows]

yes, American Eulogy, Static age and 21st century breakdown and know your enemy. I'll also at before the lobtomy

[music_that_is]

Not really, no. I can only relate Static Age.

I dont think our situation here is like any other country :\

[Mrs. Nobody]

No. But then i don't really live in a chaotic country

but it could definitly relate to the world generally

(i'm not making sense)

[Seedless_Reject]

the album does show whats going on not only in the U.S. but the world.

[Lauren]

not really, but probably because i don't pay attention.

[janiliz06]

yeah it kinda remains me especially now with this political mess and other stuff here..

and not only here or usa but the world as well...

[The Disappearing Boy]

no

[Angela.]

Yes, I would say so.

[Pati.]

Yeah

Just like American Eulogy

This and Know Your Enemy also.

[.Militza.]

I would say yes. It does.

It's just like they describe the album- Dark, and showing in what world we are living in.

But also, that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and things CAN be better then now.

And I'd like to believe that. I brings me some hope that tomorrow will be better.

[Jack96]

Australia doesnt have too many problems at the moment and the album doesnt touch on Swine Flu so yeah.

[Tiffx]

Well American Eulogy particuarly reminds me of all the shit that comes with living in the modern era.

Not just in Australia, but everywhere. There is definitely a crisis every week, whether it's a swine flu pandemic, protests like the ones in Tehran or just general instability. Now we have North Korea threatening everyone with nuclear weapons.

The crises never seem to end. Mass Hysteria definitely sums it all up for me.

mmm Yeah and the fact that black people still arent treated properly. ( The Line where Bj says something about niggers throwing something into the hysteria)

[louizex]

i dont really pay that mention attention to the meaning or storys behind the songs, i get the general idea but i just like a fun song, maybe i should go and have a listen and see how much it actually means to me

[Lauren]

i'm the opposite.

while maybe not into TOO much detail, i pay attention to the meanings behind songs.

however, what i don't pay attention to is what's happening in the world, mostly because i'm not being heavily impacted right now, so i don't care.

which is probably why i said it doesn't remind me of my country.

wow, i just realized that was a really bitchy/selfish statement.

[jacknovella]

While it does speak to me on a global scale, for example, the conflicts in Afghanistan and such, it also speaks to me on a more personal basis. I know that the album reflects the problems in America, some of the same problems can be seen over here. Like the Government falling to pieces like it did here not too long ago.

[Kaddi.]

Yeah, some parts really do. And some songs totally remind me of what I learned in school about America. This sounds weird, because you usually learn theoretical stuff in school and only half of it is true... but this time it was different.

[Jack96]

i'm the opposite.

while maybe not into TOO much detail, i pay attention to the meanings behind songs.

I try and work out meanings but sometimes im just plain bad at it
