American Idiot: The Original Broadway Cast Recording drops April 20, but the entire album is currently streaming over at MTV. If you love Green Day’s politically-charged concept albums American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, you won’t be disappointed—the stage show’s soundtrack packs the same punch, but this time comes complete with multiple-part harmonies, female vocalists and even a few previously unreleased tracks penned by Billie Joe Armstrong. Listen here, and check out the track listing after the jump.

We saw the musical back when it debuted at Berkeley Rep—it’s the perfect blend of punk rock and musical theatre, a Rent for a younger, angrier generation. Pretend the Glee kids became incredibly jaded and disillusioned after graduating William McKinley High, and you’ve pretty much got the American Idiot musical.
