Uh, what?

I just picked up 21st Century Breakdown and so far so good.

American Idiot was the best album they've put out, they did some different things musically in that album, and this one seems to be picking up where it left off. You still get the driving guitar like you're used to from Green Day, but they mix in some songs with a different sound and it suits them pretty well.

I think they're getting better with age.
