21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN

The new Green Day album...yep, it sounds a lot like American Idiot 2. But it's still damn good. Sounds great in The Bus. "Know Your Enemy" and "21 Guns" seem to be the tracks that are getting the big push, and both deserve it. I can also recommend the following tracks:

"Last Night On Earth"--Very John Lennon-esque ballad, sure to be a single down the road. Can't wait for the karaoke version.
"Peacemaker"--A fun track that I have to believe was at least partially influenced by Gogol Bordello. In fact, I'd love to hear Gogol B cover this.
"Last Of The American Girls"--Sure to get airplay at some point. Just a hint of Weezer.
"[upside-down question mark]Viva La Gloria? (Little Girl)"--Very Brechtian. Would make for an excellent mashup with The Doors' "Alabama Song". (Party Ben, I'm looking in your direction!)
