Well Green Day are back, and about bloody time!
This opinion, sadly, is not shared by everyone. A lot of people seem to think that Green Day are becoming like every other band that is past there prime, that they are just starting to sound the same.
But the other opinion is at the other end of the spectrum, the majority are singing their praises, they’ve taken over the world once with American Idiot, and they’re about to do it again with 21st Century Breakdown.
However, it seems like the cards are on the table for Marilyn Manson. After deciding he wasn’t going to retire after all, his albums have been a disappointment to fans and experts alike.
Having listened to both albums in question, Green Day have not lost their spark. Sure, they’ve grown up since their breakthrough album, Dookie, but it doesn’t look like they are about to go hanging up their guitars any time soon. While there’s still a cause to fight for, Green Day will still exist. At the end of the world, there will be cockroaches, re-runs of friends, big brother and Green Day – the trio are simply indestructible now.
The same can’t be said for Marilyn Manson. A divorce, a far younger lover, and two flop albums in the time that Green Day have been conquering the world. It now seems like its maybe time for Manson to hang up his leathers, take off his make-up and go back to watercolour painting.

I have to admit I've never particularly been a fan of Marilyn Manson but I used to really like Green Day. Unfortunately I'm at that end of the spectrum now where I think they might be a bit past it. They used to be unique and exciting but now they're just the same as any other band; mainstream.
