Green Day's new album

MANILA, Philippines – Green Day’s eighth studio album titled 21st Century Breakdown was recently released under Reprise and available locally under Warner Music Phils.

It is the best-selling trio’s first studio album since 2004’s American Idiot, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart, spawned five hit singles, and went on to sell more than 12 million copies worldwide.

21st Century Breakdown is divided into three acts: Heroes and Cons, Charlatans and Saints, and Horseshoes and Handgrenades, and follows a young couple, Christian and Gloria, through the mess and promise of the century.

Songs include Know Your Enemy, 21 Guns, East Jesus Nowhere, Before the Lobotomy and Restless Heart Syndrome.

In a recent feature, Rolling Stone called the album ‘even more ambitious than American Idiot” and “a record of die-hard punk ideals... tightly scripted, continually ascending classic-rock excitement.’
