[newsImage]050410_21cb_album.jpg[/newsImage]One year ago today, Green Day's eighth studio album, 21st Century Breakdown was released. The 18-track album, which was produced by Butch Vig, includes the hit singles 'Know Your Enemy' and '21 Guns'. The album won the band the Best Rock Album award at the 52nd Grammy Awards.

Other than 'Know Your Enemy' and '21 Guns,' 21st Century Breakdown has been the host for the singles/videos 'East Jesus Nowhere', '21st Century Breakdown', and also the current single 'Last of the American Girls'.

Billie Joe describe the album as...
[quote]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.[/quote]

So take an hour or so out of your day to listen to and enjoy 21st Century Breakdown with us.
