"Despite the chunky riffs and shouty bits on last single &amp;#039;Know Your Enemy&amp;#039;, Green Day&amp;#039;s (s)punky early days are becoming a fast-receding memory. They followed up the concept-heavy American Idiot with the concept-heavier 21st Century Breakdown, and their latest single, an anti-war anthem called &amp;#039;21 Guns&amp;#039;, finds them cementing their transition to full-blown epic rock. It combines verses reminiscent of Neil Young&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Heart Of Gold&amp;#039; with big power-pop chord changes and choruses that soar in all the right places. The jerky charm of the band&amp;#039;s earlier work may be missing, but there&amp;#039;s still lots to enjoy here, not least a neat pun - &amp;quot;Throw up your arms in the air&amp;quot; - that should get all hands waving at the festivals this summer.   &amp;gt; Click here to read our review of 21st Century Breakdown "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
