I actually really like it. Know Your Enemy was a bad choice to put out first (it's pretty shallow) and a lot of people underrated the album because of it. Most of the other songs are pretty good, especially 21st Century Breakdown, East Jesus Nowhere and Peacemaker. A lot of it is a bit more punkish than, say, American Idiot, but a lot of the later songs, or the last "act" as they call it, are incredibly ballady and soppy.
Anyone else like it? |

It has 3 good songs (East Jesus Nowhere, See the Light and Horseshoes and Handgranedes), 3 unbearable songs (Restless Heart Syndrome - the worst song they ever did, Last Night on Earth and Know Your Enemy) and the rest is pretty generic to me.
It took them 5 years to re-make Warning. |

Raphalea in my opinion it sounds nothing like Warning but after giving the album another chance I'm starting to like it more. |

It took them 5 years to re-make Warning. That seems odd to me. Green Day songs are so alike that I can't understand how three of them could be good and three of them unbearable. What about Schrodinger's cat? Since they're all largely the same but apparently exist in only two states, is there a point at which a song instantly becomes unbearable or could it be both unbearable and good simultaneously? |

Restless Heart Syndrome and Last Night on Earth are slow ballads, not my thing. Know Your Enemy pisses me off because it's too repetitive. East Jesus Nowhere I mostly like because of the lyrics, and Horseshoes and Handgrenades because it sounds something like 70's, 80's rock for me... I have to agree most songs on the album sound pretty much the same, but I spent about an year of my life listening to nothing but Green Day so I can see many differences on their songs :P |

In Last Night On Earth Billy Joe sounds like John Lennon. |
