Waiting is the hardest part

Waiting four years is too damn long. That's just how long it's been for fans, like me, waiting for San Francisco punk rocker outfit Green Day's newest album. With a handful of shows playing the new disc's tracks under their belt from earlier this week, they should be in tip-top shape by the time the new disc is officially released May 15.

Having heard just one track courtesy of their MySpace page I have to say that 21st Century Breakdown has as much potential as American Idiot did the last time around.

Then there's the matter of the cover artwork. Wow. It seems to convey that typical combo-platter of youthful feelings such as angst, hopelessness, rage and even romance.


If the rest of the 15 or so tracks are as stunning to the ears as the cover artwork is to the eyes, this will be another jewel in the crown of Green Day's two decade-long career.
