Contents. Writing and recording Green Day began to write new songs for what would become 21st Century Breakdown in January 2006 after touring extensively in 2005 in support of their seventh studio album American Idiot. At the time, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong stated: 'We'll start with silence, and that's how we'll be able to find the inspiration to find another record.' The band did not release any details of the writing and recording process until October 2007, when Armstrong said in an interview with that he had written 'something like 45 songs'. The band members worked on the primitive conceptual stages of the album at their rehearsal studio in,.
Little was revealed on the themes or musical style of the album, but Armstrong stated: 'I want to dig into who I am and what I'm feeling at this moment – which is middle-aged.' He added that many of the 45 songs were written on piano rather than guitar. Green Day began the recording process for 21st Century Breakdown in January 2008. Later that year, it was confirmed that the band worked with producer Butch Vig. The album was recorded with Vig throughout 2008 and into early 2009 at four locations in California: in Hollywood, Studio 880 in Oakland, Jel Studios in, and Costa Mesa Studios in.
While recording in Hollywood, the band members bought cheap from and listened to many for inspiration, including albums. Armstrong cited as inspiration the music of ', ', ' and, and 's.
Drummer noted the influence of and on Armstrong's writing. While writing at his home studio, Armstrong worked on a of 's 1966 mini-opera '; Green Day recorded a full-band version of the song during the album sessions.
Vig noted that frustrations would sometimes cause delays in the recording process for 21st Century Breakdown. Armstrong kept his lyrics closely guarded and intentionally mixed his demos so that the vocals were low in the mix and thus unintelligible to the other band members. It was not until late 2008 that he chose to share his words with Cool, Vig, and bassist by sitting down with them and reading the entire album's lyrics aloud in order.
The band members made the finishing touches on the album in early April 2009 and claimed that its release would lead to a 'kind of. Themes and composition. I look at Christian and Gloria, and it's me. Gloria is one side: this person trying to hold on to this sense of belief, still trying to do good. Whereas Christian is deep into his own demons and victimizing himself over that.
Billie Joe Armstrong, on the link between the two main protagonists of 21st Century Breakdown and himself 21st Century Breakdown continues the rock opera style of its predecessor, American Idiot. The album is set in, and is divided into three acts: 'Heroes and Cons', 'Charlatans and Saints', and 'Horseshoes and Handgrenades'. Its loose narrative follows a young couple named Christian and Gloria through the challenges present in the U.S. Following the presidency of. Bassist Mike Dirnt has compared the relationships between the songs to those in 's, saying that the themes are not as tightly interwoven as in a, but that they are still connected. Many of the record's themes and lyrics are drawn from Armstrong's personal life and he sings in the style about abandonment and vengeance in 'Before the Lobotomy', 'Christian's Inferno', and 'Peacemaker'. Rolling Stone noted that the album is 'the most personal, emotionally convulsive record Armstrong has ever written'.
The title track's opening lyric 'Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell' references Armstrong's birth year of 1972, while 'We are the class of '13' references the fact that his eldest son, Joseph, would graduate from high school in 2013. Dirnt has expressed his belief that 'Last of the American Girls' was written about Armstrong's wife Adrienne, who he claimed is steadfast in her beliefs and assertively defends them. Armstrong has cited his 'disconnected' childhood—he was raised by his five older siblings after their father's death, while their mother worked graveyard shifts as a waitress—as the roots of the discontent expressed on 21st Century Breakdown.
' rebukes religion and was written after Armstrong attended a church service where a friend's baby was baptized. Musically, 21st Century Breakdown is similar to the punk rock style of American Idiot, but many critics have claimed that Green Day's traditional sound has evolved in the five years since their last release to incorporate new influences such as heavier, louder pop rock and stadium rock on an epic scale.
Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone indicated that the album sports ballads that are Green Day's most polished; he claimed that the band 'combine punk thrash with their newfound love of classic-rock grandiosity'. Compared the material to that of classic rockers like, while called the title track 'Green Day's most epic song yet'. Cool has remarked: 'It's important to us that we're still looked at as a punk band. It was our religion, our higher education'. However, he also noted that Armstrong had delved into the past in writing 21st Century Breakdown, gleaning inspiration from the artists who shaped rock music.
Armstrong himself has stated: 'Ground zero for me is still punk rock. I like painting an ugly picture. I get something uplifting out of singing some of the most horrifying shit you can sing about. It's just my DNA.' Promotion and release.
