21st Century Breakdown for All Generations

Produced by Butch Vig (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage), 21st Century Breakdown continues American Idiot's punk-rock opera format. The album is divided into three acts - Heroes and Cons, Charlatans And Saints, and Horseshoes And Handgrenades - and the songs follow the journey of a young couple, Christian and Gloria, as they navigate the disappointments and promises of the new millennium.
