21st Century Breakdown is Green Day's eighth studio album released on May 15, 2009. It is Green Day's first album to be produced by renowned producer and Garbage member Butch Vig, who has produced albums such as Nevermind by Nirvana and Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins.
This album follows 2004's critically acclaimed American Idiot. Vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong has stated that 21st Century Breakdown is a "snapshot of the era in which we live as we question and try to make sense of the selfish manipulation going on around us, whether it be the government, religion, media or frankly any form of authority."This is the longest gap between studio releases for Green Day, as their last album was released in September 2004. Green Day had been working on this album since 2006, but the band showed no signs of a new album until a video of the band recording in studio was posted on YouTube in October 2008. It was released on May 15 2009.
