They're a decade and six records into their career and pushing 30. For a while, it's been clear that Billie Joe Armstrong isn't just a dumb punk.
Warning continues the trend of the band's recent work.
The singing is a little slower, the guitar is a little less heavy. Billie Joe also seems less concerned with attitude, coming across as unpretentious and good natured. The songs are not the more nuanced pop Armstrong seems capable of. They're pretty basic but dependably likeable. Warning is a good, straight forward record.
