Is this song really better than “21st Century Breakdown“? No. Is “Know Your Enemy” a better first single than “21st Century Breakdown”? Well I’ve listened to it about 4 times and all I can remember from it is Billie asking me if I know my enemy, so I’m going to assume this will do better in radio than 21st Century’s triple-tiered build-up structure — think “Holiday” vs “Jesus of Suburbia.”

“Know Your Enemy” has a sing-song quality to it that will probably make it a mainstay in mainstream rock radio for quite some time. In other words, unless you absolutely love this song, don’t turn KROQ on anytime soon.

It’s grown on me with each listen. It’s definitely no “American Idiot”, but it’s a damn good song. Color me excited for the whole album.

Know Your Enemy is a great song and we need to help out Green Day and get them a 2010 MMVA, by going to http://bit.ly/mostwatchedvideo and watching their video you and everyone else who does it will be helping to increase numbers to allow our beloved band to win the Most Watched Video Award
