What made “American Idiot” and “21st Century Breakdown” so great were the specific commentaries Armstrong had. However, the record does fall short in regards to the lyrical composition of the politically inspired songs. Listening to the zealous drums and dirty-grungy guitars amplified to the extreme on “Revolution Radio” is nothing but entertaining and the result in what seems to be the most fun Green Day had making an album in years. While Green Day found overwhelming success in the 2000s, their sound grew to be fine-tuned and polished with “American Idiot” and “21st Century Breakdown,” which ultimately lead the punk rock band down a path of standard, controlled and uninspired rock and roll music. “Revolution Radio” is also the first album the band has self-produced in 15 years, a decision that absolutely paid off. “Bouncing Off The Wall,” offers loud grungy guitars and the badass drumming of old Green Day with a pop chorus (a technique the band has seemed to master as they’ve grown), while the title track’s guitar solo could easily be mistaken for something off of “American Idiot.” From beginning to end, each song is filled with interesting guitar riffs, relentless drumming and catchy choruses. Musically, this may be one of the most enjoyable Green Day albums to listen to since their 1990s material. The album contains 12 fiery rock tracks clocking in at just over 44 minutes and contains some of the more impressive songs in Green Day’s discography. The next day, Armstrong was sent off to rehab, subsequently cancelling their tour in support of their underwhelming trilogy of albums, “Uno!,” “Dos!” and “Tre!”įor the most part, “Revolution Radio” is a triumphant return for Green Day. After a belligerent assault on the venue for allegedly cutting their set short, the punk rock icon smashed his guitar into oblivion and walked off the stage. “Revolution Radio” also marks Green Day’s first release since lead-man Billie Joe Armstrong’s drunken meltdown at the 2012 iHeartRadio Festival. The record is Green Day’s first in four years and is set to be their first No. 7, is the 12th studio album recorded by Green Day.
