Any Green Day fans out there? (BJA is going to rehab)

[Toe Jam]

And then Spin got a first listen of six of the tracks...

Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown, one of 2009's most-anticipated records, releases in May. Yesterday, reps from the band's label, Warner Bros., swung by SPIN's lower Manhattan office to play us six of the album's 16 tracks and feed us a bucket of fried chicken.

Our verdict? We love it. (The chicken was pretty good, too.)

In the six songs, Green Day keep their punk urgency and lyrical angst, but expand their ambition. They use dramatic musical shifts reminiscent of Queen, and Who-like classic rock guitars. There's even a poignant piano ballad that Fiona Apple could love.

I know BigMike can't stand them but I'm convinced some of you are fans or at least enjoyed American Idiot.

I know I did. That's the only reason I'm willing to give this album a listen. Should be interesting to see how the follow up AI.

Dookie was MUCH better than American Idiot. I'll probably give it a listen, but if its anything like AI then I probably wont like it too much.

You won't like it, then. I took a listen to the leaked first track. It's very much like American Idiot.

Hopefully this means new tour. Green Day KICKS ASS live.

American Idiot was terrible. I miss Dookie and Insomniac. Hopefully this album isn't all American Idiot style.

I think it's a little bit of everything... don't think it's exactly a rock opera this go around.

And btw.. I like Dookie. Just prefer American Idiot.

Great live band....I've looking forward to the new album.

Dookie will always be the best, but everything they've done has been really good.

Great live band...
