GREEN DAY - 21ST CENTURY BREAKDOWN ALBUM

Tough | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/18/09

This cd is fantastic. Definitely one of their best. 1st poster's review merits no one's attention. Just the fact that you believe that the "n word" is appropriate when anyone says it proves to me that you're an idiot. The word is never appropriate and it's never going to be. That being said, it is still a word and that fact alone means that it's going to be used. By people in general. Not just by one race. Grow up and get over your disappointment. What year do you think it is? 1953? It's called freedom of speech.. no matter what's being said. Anyways, in the song the word appears in, it's used in a quote. Again, the cd is utterly fantastic and never gets boring to listen to. It's not the same-beat-in-every-song kind of cd that music fans have come to accept and purchase and overplay, instilling in their watered down brains the ridiculous idea that it's good.

it stunning to see that people are just now realizing the derogitory terms greenday has been using, Im a HUGE fan, and yes, no one likes hearing it, but listen to the message not just the word. the only time i thought a word was misused in their album was in holiday, "kill all the f*gs that dont agree". but overall their mesaages are powerful, and i believe every song has an underlying meaning that we need to look to.

its sad that people cant get over the racial slurs. you really shouldnt judge an artist for using them. yes we know that word is part of an unpleasent part of history but get over it stop being childish and move on.this cd is great, one of their best.

So here's the thing. I was listening to the new Green Day CD at work, and was reading the lyrics while listening. When I got to the song American Eulogy, I got into it b/c it was catchy. Then came the "n" word, and I immediately turned the CD off. I dislike very much when a white person uses the derogatory term for a black person, and I was shocked when I read and heard this word in a Green Day song. This is SOOOOO not Green Day. I am a huge Marilyn Manson fan, and I am aware that he uses the "n" word in a couple of songs, but that's Marilyn Manson and I would expect that from him. I never in my wildest dreams would have expected to hear that word in a Green Day song. There are numerous songs on 21st Century Breakdown that I enjoyed, but I don't know if I will ever listen to this CD again. My views on Green Day have changed greatly.

You (the reader) can say what you want about my review. You can put me down 'cause I really don't give a flying frig!!! I may get rid of this CD. You may think I am overreacting to the use of the "n" word, but like I said, I don't like when a white person uses this word, whether or not he/she is just trying to make a point.
