The problem with this album is that
a) it's too eclectic for its own good - there's no running "theme" or anything, so everything on the album is completely different than what came before it. There's nothing holding it together musically.
b) it's just a bad storyline (virtually no storyline to speak of, even though there's supposed to be one) and it feels like a bunch of various/random songs over a very vague topic
That said, I do like this album a lot but it's definitely not up to par with American Idiot. It won't be remembered like American Idiot will be in the coming years.
