I've just downloaded it and listened to most of the song (don't support piracy? I'm not. I'm just curious XD I'm planning to buy the album if that'd makes you happy) and it didn't turns out disappointing. Overall, the sound was pretty much like American Idiot but with a little taste of Dookie some here and there. It's a little experimental I think.

Now, tracks that I pay attention to are;

• 21st Century Breakdown | of course, I've heard the single before but you'll realize some minor and major changes to the album version if you listen closely. Like the usage of guitar instead of piano on the intro also the lyric of 'My name is Samuel' instead of 'My name is no-one'.
• Know Your Enemy | gotta love the simple punk tune and the rebellious lyrics. Green Day for you~
• East Jesus Nowhere | brilliant lyrics.
• Last Of The American Girls | brilliant brilliant song. full of metaphor.
• Murder City | another song with a simple punk tune.
• American Eulogy : Mass Hysteria/ Modern World | I paid attention to this song since the Modern World part was sung by Mike Dirnt: Well, what do you know, his voice is pretty good.

So, overall, it was great lol I know, anyone that has been waiting for a few years for their album would say that XD but really, I mean it~ It's great. It's great to hear a mainstream band that would actually say (shout) their rebellious idea out loud. So, go Green Day~
