21st Century Breakdown

VINYL FORMAT. Green Day's long-awaited eighth studio album, 21st Century breakdown, is the trio's first studio disc since 2004's Grammy-winning Best Rock Album American Idiot, which debuted at #1, spawned five hit singles, and sold more than 12 million copies world-wide (quintuple platinum in the U.S.). Produced by Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage) 21st Century Breakdown continues American Idiot's punk-rock opera format. Divided into three acts - Heroes and Cons, Charlatans And Saints, and Horseshoes And Handgrenades - the songs follow a young couple, Christian and Gloria, as they experience the disappointment and promise of the new millennium.
