How does one follow up a multimillion-selling, world-uniting, career-rejuvenating, award-winning, status-sealing album? Well, if you're Green Day, you do it with hooks, ambition and sheer bombast.
n Wednesday night, MTV News heard six tracks from 21st Century Breakdown, GD's follow-up to 2005's landmark American Idiot, due out in May. And though the songs were rough mixes (frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and producer Butch Vig did said mixing, we were informed), the songs packed a wallop — both sonically and lyrically — which is proof that, rather than hide from the prospect of trying to match Idiot's success, Green Day intend to face it head on.
