Green Day Give a Glimpse Into Their 'Breakdown' -- Exclusive Photos

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong sure has done his part to hype the band's May 15-due album, '21st Century Breakdown' -- which will be split into three parts: 'Heroes and Cons,' 'Charlatans and Saints' and 'Horseshoes and Handgrenades.' First, the trio announced they were working with famed 'Nevermind' producer Butch Vig, and Armstrong stated that the band was writing the most powerful songs of their 20-year career. Then the boys announced their long-awaited new album's title just before presenting Album of the Year honors at the Grammys. Now, Green Day gave Spinner some artwork from the effort, including the cover for the first single, 'Know Your Enemy,' and an image from the special-edition version of the album, available only Green Day's website, beginning Friday. Enjoy.
