"21st Century Breakdown" track listing

Contributed by alex101. Posted by adam on Monday, April 6, 2009 at 12:00 PM (EDT)

As the release of Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown draws closer more and more details on the much anticipated full length are being unveiled. The album's 18 song track listing is now available.

These songs are to be grouped into three acts, titled "Heroes and Cons," "Charlatans and Saints" and "Horseshoes and Hand Grenades." The first single from the record, "Know Your Enemy," is set for a mid-April release. The album is due on May 15th.

Update: The track listing we've got here is apparently unconfirmed and most likely inaccurate. The band will be revealing a proper track listing shortly.

This is pretty much what I expected.

I can't believe how unexcited (some might even say anti-stoked) I am for a new album from a band I really really like.

I agree, this band pretty much got me into punk rock but this just looks bad.

There should be an emoticon for apathy.

kneel (April 6, 2009)

no there shouldnt. merely posting about one's apathy shows you care enough to tell the world how much you don't care.

which makes you no longer apathetic.

my apathetic emoticon:

Mr_International (April 6, 2009)

But this way we could show that we don't care with much less effort!

kidgotham (April 6, 2009)

An emoticon is less effort then not posting?

Preston (April 6, 2009)

There should also be an emoticon for man/chimp beastiality.

I used both "here"s because I wasn't sure which is the right one.

I still think that if Green Day and Blink 182 tour this summer, it will be one of the best selling tours of all time. I'd go see it.

It happened in 2002. It ruled.

When Green Day played, it ruled.

TheMike (April 6, 2009)

The demo for the title track seemed ok, but the lyrics were pretty bad. This album will probably sound ok at first, but get old after two or three listens and be condemned to a lifetime of dust collecting.

shrapnel (April 6, 2009)

Biggest flop of the year?

Oh good, 3 Acts.

This doesn't seem fun in the slightest.

I'm starting to be convinced that Billie Joe just met Bono and Pete Townshend at a party and the boner hasn't gone away yet.

shrapnel (April 6, 2009)

my thoughts exactly

MN_punkmaster-skaman (April 6, 2009)

He might have met the ghost of Freddie Mercury at that party as well.

baldsteve (April 6, 2009)

I'd rather be dead than meet the ghost of freddie. Fuck him and fuck this.

ffwoodycooks (April 6, 2009)

so you'd rather............bit the dust?

ffwoodycooks (April 6, 2009)

bite*, fuck. joke ruined.

TheMike (April 6, 2009)

It's ok. It was even funny in the first place.

TheMike (April 6, 2009)

My comment ruined as well.

MattRamone (April 6, 2009)

I never got the love for Queen. I hate everything about that band

baldsteve (April 6, 2009)

Me too. They were terrible.

I guess I just don't like wanky shit

MattRamone (April 6, 2009)

Except of course your hard on for Dragonforce.

baldsteve (April 6, 2009)

Not familiar, sounds like an old NES game.

ffwoodycooks (April 6, 2009)

they basicall play variations of the power rangers theme song.

baldsteve (April 6, 2009)

The Wynona Riders had a fucking amazing cover of that theme.

Jay3313 (April 6, 2009)

Good name...fuck.

MattRamone (April 6, 2009)

I guess they believed all the hype after American Idiot which I liked but got sick of hearing about.

shrapnel (April 6, 2009)

without a doubt

badbrain (April 6, 2009)

Green Day are coming out with a new CD? Wow I had no idea, it hasn't been promoted at all really

MattRamone (April 6, 2009)

I tend to agree. And most musicals are weaksauce.

ffwoodycooks (April 6, 2009)

which is why im mega pissed that they are remaking 8 1/2 as a musical and theyre putting fergie in it.

honestly, i like green day and i enjoy everything they've ever put out. but my TV and radio are going off the second the first song hits the airwaves because they're gonna play it to death.

Only Rancid could make a 55 minute album seem too long by half.

Have you seen the first music video from this record? Its all high contrast black and white.

I got 1 and 2 off Amazon. Do they have 3 on there yet?

Track 16 better be a Good Riddance cover

Track 2 better be a Rage Against the Machine cover

mikexdude (April 6, 2009)

That band sucks, it better not.

skankbook (April 6, 2009)

"Know Your Enemy" and "Last Night on Earth" remind me of songs already done by the Bouncing Souls. My selective dyslexia made me think "Restless Heart Syndrome" was a cover of a Smoke or Fire song. Chances are those songs are better than Green Day's.

the_creeps (April 6, 2009)

Track 8 better be a Naked Raygun cover

alpod4 (April 6, 2009)

despite everything, i will prolly pick this up in some format.

ChokingVictim (April 6, 2009)

looking forward to this.

but yeah, definitely staying away from pop culture for awhile after this is released so it doesn't get beaten to death in my presence.

scorpiondeathlock (April 6, 2009)

people who think the US government perpetrated september 11th are stoked..

18 is too many.

People who aren't insecure about bands they like being played on the radio are stoked.

Where'd you guys find this tracklisting? I've seen a different one.

I can honestly say I've never been approached by a muslim to convert me to Islam...At least 1-2 times a month, I get harrassed by some christian fuck. End of debate...

MagneticBedhead (April 6, 2009)

Well I'm not sure ending the debate based on that comment is warrented. Is that why green day continues their anti Jesus rants? Again I'm no holy roller.. It seems that Christians are easy targets. Get a nut sack and comment on radical Muslims who are recruitting children to kill themselves. Speak out on the Koran.

sfbarker (April 6, 2009)

Wow...how'd a killer band from the East Bay turn into the fucking Who? Really? We need back to back concept albums complete with musicals? Fuck this band, fuck them hard in their asses.

Green day and blink 182 arent going to tour together. They would probably make more money touring themselves

wow.
Close minded fucks.

theres a preview of the new GREEN DAY single and tbh, it sounds like something off Dookie or Nimrod, but either way you guys will not like it coz it's 'new' GREEN DAY. I think it's sick, really good rock n roll tune.

baldsteve (April 7, 2009)

It's not the music, it's the ego. Not every record needs to be a fucking rock opera with multi-staged acts.

I can only bash what they offer, what they have offered up is the opposite of interesting.

Eat a dick.
