Certainly some melodies sound like a deja heard certainly found a similar pattern to that of american idiot certainly can fault this album a lack of "tubes" as could be shown predecessor ... But for me this album still deserves its 5 stars! Perfectly balanced, "21st century breakdown" makes us have a good time of 69 min, with the passage of very good titles ("21st century breakdown", "last night on earth" which is a very nice ride, "east jesus nowhere" "restles heart syndrom" and of course the hit of the album: "21 Guns"). Note that passage, the titles "peacemaker" and "? Viva la Gloria? (Little Girl)" reminds us of the album "Warning". The group is waiting but was able to take time to deliver a fair successor american idiot, which remains the best, but he still had to do it. The listening pleasure is there and it is the most important! As for the limited edition, it is very nice and helps to immerse themselves in the heart of the album. A purchase I suggest you!
