Btw, only 5 days for this to be available.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

has this leaked yet?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

No, but they played the album in its entirety at some show a couple days ago.

[Irishteen]

Know Your Enemy is okay, nothing impressive

 

[phanan]

Perhaps that is a good sign. When the title track to American Idiot first came out, I didn't think much of it. But then the rest of the album more than made up for it.

 

[MMP]

This song is freakin' awesome!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

i heard this song on XM radio yesterday.. Not too bad at all.

 

[Irishteen]

I've only heard the song on youtube and it sounded like noise, maybe that was youtube and not the song though...

 

[LemonMelon]

Know Your Enemy ain't anything new, and certainly can't match American Idiot's title track as far as being an epic opening single is concerned, but I like it well enough.

 

[phanan]

An epic opening title track? It's one of the weakest parts of that album, I think. It's not bad, it's just that the rest of the album went above and beyond it.

 

[LemonMelon]

I think it's perfect. Sums up the album's lyrical themes, mood, and overall feel in a concise manner while sticking to what Green Day does best musically. It's not my favorite song on American Idiot, but it sure piqued my interest, which is what any great lead single should do. I'm not quite feeling that with Know Your Enemy.

 

[phanan]

Fair enough.

 

[Lila64]

Is there a link to the song? The You Tube link above doesn't work. I got an email that the song was played in its entirety in the UK, but it wouldn't allow me to play it outside that territory.

I have it if you want it.

[redhotswami]

some of those are very interesting city choices...guess i'll be hitting up the hamilton (wtf?) show.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Alright, I'll admit it. I like their new single. Damn you Green Day! Damn you for being good at making infectious pop-punk songs. This album is going to be huge. Mark it.

 

[Odd Sponge Out]

. . . . Aw, man.
I love this band.
However, I feel slight disappointment right now. The closest they play to me is Sacramento, which really isn't that far! But they play there on my first day of school. Booooo.

Oh, well. Looking forward to everything anyway.

Early first impression...

It's obviously tough to top American Idiot, and I don't think this does. However, I think it's quite the solid album. I'll need a few more listens to flesh out more specifics, but so far, I'm enjoying it.

And this is coming from someone who, after Dookie, totally lost interest in them until American Idiot came around.
