Got Green Day's New Album!

Yes, I've been a fan of Green Day for a while now.

It all started during the release of American Idiot. Then my Uncle (who lives in Australia and is an avid concert goer who loves alternative bands) found out that I like Green Day from my mom, and he bought me some of Green Day's older albums like Dookie, Nimrod, Insomniac and Warning, and I like their songs even more.

So this album is a trilogy, with and is the first of the three (which is pretty obvious as all the albums are titled after numbers.

What I've notice in this album is that now Jason White is part of the band! That's pretty awesome, considering that he's been with Green Day as a touring member back then, and also appeared in some of Green Day's music videos like 'When I Come Around', 'Wake Me Up When September Ends' and '21 Guns'.

The album is pretty expensive here in Malaysia (around RM 45 or 15 USD), but I found the album in a local bookstore which sold it cheaper by a few bucks and I could use the membership card to get a further 10% off. So I paid only RM 37.35 which is around 12 USD, almost the same price as the one sold in the US if I remember correctly.

Overall, the whole album is good, not great. But it's too early to tell how great is the trilogy gonna be as you need all 3 albums in order to piece out the story and concept behind the album.

Also, when I heard Billie Joe was in The Voice as a guest mentor, it was pretty awesome news to me since now I feel like The Voice could be the next singing competition US needs (American Idol was dead to me for long time, even before the realisation of the WGWG trend in winners).

Another thing I found out a while ago was Billie Joe's 'meltdown' at the iHeartRadio festival. I wouldn't consider it a breakdown. I think what he did was pretty awesome, even if people think that he's taking drugs or something. Of course he's pissed, and I think he has the right to be pissed.

Now for one last thing I found out. One of Green Day's track from the albums coming out soon will be in the soundtrack of Breaking Dawn Part 2. Seeing the word 'Green Day' and 'soundtrack' and 'Breaking Dawn' together made me die a little inside.

Anyway, that's all for now.
