ONE love, blood, life
As much as this may piss some people off, Little Girl reminds me (theme-wise, positioning and purpose on the album) of Mama by My Chemical Romance... it is 400x better though
Seriously. I only add this:Pitchfork gave it 4.8!!
Pitchfork: Green Day: 21st Century Breakdown
Yay, they are so scrupulous aren't they? I admire someone who can automatically hate anything popular.
Seriously, someone should tell these weeny little fuckers that their lives are shallow, and they are probably all ugly too
Tré Cool-- a drummer who's never really progressed beyond "fast with a lot of rolls" and "mid-tempo militaristic oompah"-- flaunts his competence level with a metronomic anti-creativity.

Unless you're being facetious here, this post is absurd and reactionary.
It's mild compared to the reactions their NLOTH review got around here.
Plus, it's not entirely false. Pitchfork are a bunch of tightwads, regardless of how informative they are when it comes to music.
I'm not surprised. I thought it might have a chance to make it past 5 for a score, but this is what I expected.
Still beat NLOTH, which is saying something for them. They REALLY hated that album apparently.
so apparently GD was on Colbert Nation last night.. And they did Good Morning America this morning.. Both missed cuz I got the email at 8:58am.
will look for youtube vid later today I guess.

That's because you listened once and discarded it, so why would you remember much from it?
I think both scores are laughable yet predictable for them. I can't remember the last time a major (i.e. huge) recording artist on a major label got a review over 7 there. In fact, I think American Idiot was the last one to hit that feat.
Which makes this new review even more humorous. The writer makes it clear at the beginning that he/she didn't care for American Idiot at all, yet the official review at Pitchfork is a 7.2, which is respectable, especially for them.
But not to slag on Pitchfork too much, because that happens everywhere when one person reviews one album and then a different writer reviews the next. It unfortunately makes for an inconsistent review process.
Pitchfork has their guilty pleasures. Check out their reviews of Rihanna and Justin Timberlake's most recent records.
I absolutely love this album, and have listened to it more in 2 weeks than any album this year, including NLOTH.
Favourites so far are Peacemaker and Viva la Gloria?
really? if i never really cared for Green Day but genuinely enjoyed American Idiot, do you think i'll like this album? i must warn you, i'm in one of those anti punk/hard rock phases right now.

Generally if they give an album unde 4.9 (dig out you soul got 4.9 and its tripe) I will like it.
