Thanks for the report to Nme.com.

I don't care what anyone says, i thought their new album was brilliant. Much better then that American Idiot crap, even though it sounded the same.

Absolutely, Both albums are great though.

I just think '21st Century Breakdown' is so well put together and some great tracks ... Beyond 'Know Your Enemy'
