Very very good. Maybe the album that threw me into punk rock . American Idiot and Jesus Of Suburbia are my favorite tracks here. One of my favorite albums of the 2000s and for me, the second best Green Day album.

One of the first albums i heard from the beginning to the end. I really like this, especially the tracks American Idiot and Jesus Of Suburbia. Very good album, but not Green Day's best.

I know I'm going to sound emo for mentioning this, but there's no denying that "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is one of the most ingenious songs ever written.

Part of the reason I didn't like 21st Century Breakdown was because the concept was so dumb. American Idiot was driven by political fury, while Breakdown didn't make any sense. I'm also angry because I bought the album without listening to it and discovered a lot of lousy filler. It took 5 years to produce this? You are correct that the title track is a good song though. I do admit that was one of the few songs on the record I enjoyed.

I was about to recommend 21st century breakdown till I read the rest of the post. The song named "21st century breakdown" does the whole... thing they're doing on this album better than this album. It's the only song I listen to regularly by them these days.

I'm not the biggest fan of 2000s punk or Green Day but I have to say this album blew me away. The best and most intelligent punk album since London Calling. It's a shame 21st Century Breakdown sucked so bad.

One of the greatest rock albums of the past twenty years...

Punk was all but dead, and still might be, as this album rose above that particular genre without losing the anger and explosiveness. A very intelligent album, and Jesus of Suburbia, if split into its individual songs, would have netted them 2-3 more singles, kudos to them for leaving it as the mini rock opera.

I have a soft spot for this album, as it largely spawned my initial love for rock music. I've outgrown my enthusiasm for it now, but it remains a solid record. Don't expect full on punk, but it certainly ttanscends the 'pop-punk' genre
