Green Day
Producer(s): Butch Vig
Label/Catalog Number: Reprise Records

Know Your Enemy

Chris Williams
It's been five years since Green Day experienced a critical and commercial re-emergence with its Grammy Award-winning "American Idiot" album. The lead single from the band's new release, "21st Century Breakdown" (due May 15), finds the group just as politically charged as last time. "Know Your Enemy" sports a Modern Rock radio-ready chorus, with its repetitive chanting of the title, while producer Butch Vig brings enough punk/pop sheen for mass appeal. While the subject matter is broad and may be missed by some, "Enemy" has enough charm to amp up the airwaves until "Breakdown" is released.
