21st Century Breakdown - Green Day
1st place. Love this song, it's a real bop. I kinda like that the game ends on this song even though it's the first song on the album (Song of the Century doesn't really count imo, that's just an intro track). This is the last song on the main game, but there's 6 DLC songs that complete the 21st Century Breakdown album that I'll be uploading now to round out this game.
I always love going back and playing through this game. When I bought this game in June of 2010, I knew pretty much nothing about Green Day. I played the 2-song demo that was released that had Welcome to Paradise and Boulevard of Broken Dreams on it, and I liked both of those songs, but I still didn't have high hopes going into the game at the time because I thought Green Day was an "emo" band and it was cool to dislike "emo" bands back then. I was a dumb 12 year old. I ended up really loving all of the Dookie songs at the start of the game, and enjoying a fair amount of the American Idiot songs and the various songs from the albums in between. I wasn't into most of 21st Century Breakdown though. Now that I'm an adult and have had a lot of time to digest these songs, this album ain't half bad. Dookie is one of my favorite albums of all time, and American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown are both awesome concept albums.
Admittedly, I haven't really kept up too much with Green Day's releases after 21st Century Breakdown, but we should be really thankful this game came out when it did so we didn't get a game full of ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! lol. I haven't heard really anything positive about that trilogy. Fantano gave their newest album a straight up 0, which is bonkers. The marketing material was so out of touch and cringy it made me check out a few of their songs, which I guess means it was good marketing, but wow I got some bad vibes. To me it seems like they've lost their touch and they're just clinging onto the old days, but now they're almost 50 years old and the music landscape has changed dramatically so it just... doesn't work all that well. Idk, just my opinion, and I really haven't listened to their newer material much at all so I could be way off base.
Anyway, the 6 DLC songs are up next, then a couple filler videos, then Band Hero.
