Green Day lives again on new record

By Aaron Hartley–

The iconic pop punk trio has been in a bit of a musical rut for the past few years. Green Day’s 2004 smash hit comeback “American Idiot” left fans and critic as to what could possibly be their next step.

Their follow-up album, “21st Century Breakdown,” treaded much of the same ground. It was a decent listen, but it felt more forced and predictable than “American Idiot.”

The trilogy of albums they released in 2012, Uno, Dos and Tres didn’t sell well and were received with mixed opinion.
