10 out of 10! If you loved American Idiot, you'll love this! If you never heard American Idiot, buy it and this together - they're great. My favourite album and most played last year was Muse - I believe that I have listened to this latest Green Day album as much as Muse, already! I'm no spring chicken and my girls are 14 and 18 years old - we all love it. Buy it, you won;t be disappointed. I got mine in an Amazon January deal, thinking 'what the hell, it won't be anywhere near as good as American Idiot, but at least it will be as good as all their other albums' - I was wrong - it's right up there with American Idiot! Fantastic album! Honest!

My first ever cd was Dookie!
A long time Greenday fan here and this album is the worst i have ever heard Greenday sound, I am so glad i saw them play Leeds Festival when they were actually a decent punk/Rock band

This is a classic Green Day album with some truly amazing songs! The songs are so tuneful yet still rock out as hard as possible! Fantastic songs and I just plain love this album!!

Like pretty much everyone reading this I bought american Idiot and loved it. I loved it because of what it stood for. In a musical climate as boring as the one in 2004 it was nice to have someone in the mainstream start giving the establishment the finger for a change.
Right now thats out the way I'm gonna say that 'Breakdown' is like listening to 'American Idiot', except it's had everything you liked about it removed with near surgical precision. For starters the music is repetitive and boring. If you're idea of fun is listening to the same 5 chords in a slightly different order for 18 songs then what are you waiting for? buy this!
Also can someone answer me this question. What the balls happens in this album?? I'ts a concept record. Doesn't that mean it has a story or something? Aparently their idea of a storyline is mentioning the same two names in about five songs and using the intro of the first song as the intro for the last song... oooo continuity.
Where 'Idiot' was releveant and new, 'breakdown' is pointless. It accomplishes nothing except taking away an hour of your life you could have spent listening to something that matters, rather than mediocre pop-punk disguised as something that matters.
Oh and by the way 18 SONGS!? really, you need 18 song to get your message accross. I'm not even sure what the message was but maybe I would be if it wasn't stretched pointlessly over 18 SONGS! No-one needs that many...
Unless you're Pink floyd in which case you can help yourself to 24.

18 Tracks of Green Day's best music to date, the lyrics booklet is a welcome inclusion, highly recommeded, can't wait for the next album from Green Day.
