Article comments
1 - Dave White
Picking up the Green Day album now. Will be interested to see if it has the same kind of angst as the Bush-era American Idiot had.
2 - Green Day
Excited about the Green Day album, but didn't even see anything about the Steve Earle one. Will have to check it out.
3 - Glen Boyd
You need to read this again then Greenie.

It seems like only yesterday that Green Day were a bunch of East Bay punks disappointing their fans by selling out to a major label (Warner Bros). Punks All Grown Up

The new album is great! I have just heard it the 1st time and I think this very innovator but always keeping their style. I am doubting if 21st Century Breakdown is better than American Idiot is. . . (sorry for my english, I'm spanish) Hope U like it!
