Green Day
East Jesus Nowhere - Green Day Single Review
Single Review
When 'Know Your Enemy' was littering the radio prior to the release of '21st Century Breakdown' I was fearing the album would be a direct copy of 'American Idiot' but thankfully I was proved very wrong and the album was another masterpiece of modern punk ideals and grandiose political rhetoric, and one of the highlights is now out now as their new single.
'East Jesus Nowhere' is the opening song in Act 2 of the album and it is a complete stomper of a song, drenched in everything Green Day now hold dear to them. The scale of the song is immense and it pounds with military precision as Billie Joe rolls out his lyrical forecast. The rhythm unit is, as always, perfect foil to the sonic guitar work. The album joins together each song far better than a single could so for that it does lose some of its relevance but it is still a great track and set for the top end of the charts.
