"Is '21st Century Breakdown' better than the 'American Idiot' album?"
Summary
In this episode, Stephen and Paul discuss Green Day's album '21st Century Breakdown' (2009). They share their level of fandom and the first Green Day items they ever bought. They talk about their anticipation for the band's upcoming Glasgow concert and share their favourite Green Day albums and songs.
They also discuss the album's release and their initial impressions. They analyse the album's sound, compare it to 'American Idiot', and discuss their favourite tracks. They create the 12 track, under 50-minute TTMF supercut of the album, selecting the songs that will make the cut.
Finally, they explore the reasons why '21st Century Breakdown' sold less than its predecessor, 'American Idiot', and discuss the ranking of Green Day's greatest songs.
"It's commercial, it's upbeat, it's catchy, it's a toe-tapper."
