Green Day — 21st Century Breakdown

Two bloated epics in a row run the risk of making Green Day look as horrible at self-editing as Billy Corgan, but the now-just-as-rock-as-they-are-punkers manage to stay just on the right side of the concept album territory by keeping the focus on the plight of the underdog "in these troubled times," as the cliche goes. 21st Century...

Green Day — Warning

Wow, first it was Oasis who turned all mature and sappy once they grew older and had kids, but who would've thought Green Day would turn out the same way? Warning is a catchy little album, but someone please find the band's once gritty punk bone! I mean, the harmonica pieces on "Hold On" are so identical to those in the Beatles' tune...
