It got somewhat lost, given the [article id="1604564"]Blink-182[/article] and [article id="1604577"]Chris Brown[/article] news that went down at Sunday night's [article id="1604580"]Grammy Awards[/article], but [artist id="988"]Green Day[/artist]'s new album finally has a title and release date.

The news came with little fanfare: As GD took the stage to present the night's final award, Album of the Year, the in-house announcer simply proclaimed that their long-awaited follow-up to 2004's American Idiot would be called 21st Century Breakdown. The band didn't mention it at all, instead reading off the list of nominees, then handing the [article id="1604582"]AOTY award to Alison Krauss and Robert Plant[/article].

Later -- perhaps because people missed it -- Green Day re-announced the info on their fan club and their official site, and added that 21st Century Breakdown would be coming this May. The album is already available for pre-order through GreenDay.com.

Very little is known about Breakdown, aside from the fact that it's being [article id="1596973"]produced by Butch Vig[/article] and that, in a November interview with Alternative Press, it was revealed that it's broken down into three acts -- "Heroes and Cons," "Charlatans and Saints" and "Horseshoes and Handgrenades" -- and will feature 16 songs, with titles like "Viva la Gloria," "Before the Lobotomy" and "Christian's Inferno."

It's also been reported that [article id="1532147"]Green Day have been working on the album[/article] since at least 2006 -- calling it, at various times "a cool project" and [article id="1533255"]"an event."[/article] They've also kept busy with myriad side projects, including frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's gigs with Pinhead Gunpowder and the band's stint masquerading as the [article id="1585150"]Foxboro Hot Tubs[/article].
