Awwww guys Guess this is my lesson on posting without thinking... I meant to say that I heard the clip (without the annoying basketball voices). Feel free to make me your punching bag! Go ahead, take a swing!!! But fear not! Only a few more days. I'm searching everywhere and I'm sure it won't be long before it comes out... SORRY GUYS.

This sounds like something straight out of "Homecoming" from AI. A little underwhelmed (American Idiot > Know Your Enemy) but I assume isnt close to the best of the album. Should be #1 on Alt relatively quickly.

But not quickly enough to keep Anberlin out for a week. (I can't listen to this at work, unfortunately.)

A bit repetitive but it's ok.

Yeah, it's too generic Green Day for it to be amazing (yet). Sounds like a lost track out of the Dookie vault.

It does sound like Dookie material, a bit. I like it, I'm sure in higher quality it will pop out more. I can see why it was chosen as the first single, and I'm sure it will sound better within the context of the album. But it's also not as immediate as American Idiot, I agree on that.

My alt station has added this. What do you guys think this will debut at?

I'm liking it better than American Idiot so far, but that was one of my least favorite songs off the last album.
If this were on the AI album, I'd probably rank it somewhere in the middle as of now. I'll revisit this concept after I hear it on Alt. Nation a million times.

That's it? Very repetitive and not that strong to begin with. I'm sure there's much better stuff on the album and hopefully radio will take hold of an amazing album cut shortly. Their weakest lead single to date and inferior to most of their major singles as it is. And I've already heard/listened to it 6 times.

If you know this band at all, I don't see how this can come as any surprise. Their first singles are always like this, fairly simple heavy rock songs. This is perfectly fine for that.

It's not as exciting a lead off as "American Idiot" though, you have to admit that.

I like it, and it kills "Jesus Of Suburbia," but "American Idiot," "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams," "Holiday," and "Wake Me Up When September Ends" all beat it as far as comparing it to last album goes

I'd say it beats American Idiot, but nothing else really. I really do like it though, it's really catchy and I expect it to do well. This is really making me want to hear the rest of the album.

I like it, and it kills "Jesus Of Suburbia," Let me get this straight...you're saying a 3-minute long catchy repetitive song beats one of the best songs of the decade?

I agree - composition/lyric-wise, JOS is one of the best songs of the last 10 year and THE best song off of AI. KYE unfortunately ranks 6th when comparing it to all 5 AI singles. Still can't wait for the album though.

Cody doesn't have the attention span for Jesus Of Suburbia. You might then say that Jesus Of Surburbia is designed for short attention spans, but it hadn't met Cody. Neither have I, for that matter, making this post completely fictitious. Imaginary, if you will. This post is the equivalent of a dream. But let's be honest, isn't it a wonderful dream?

Dammit. YouTube disabled the video and I still haven't heard the full version of this. Is there anywhere else I can hear it from? EDIT: Nevermind. I found another link. I think it's awesome, but certainly not as mindblowing as "American Idiot" was when that was first released. I can't wait for the rest of the album

If you know this band at all, I don't see how this can come as any surprise. Their first singles are always like this, fairly simple heavy rock songs. This is perfectly fine for that. Definitely not true with "Longview" and certainly not true with "American Idiot". All the lead singles in between are off the radar compared to those two. Maybe that's part of the problem. "Jesus Of Suburbia" is indeed one of the five best singles of the decade and I'm happy to see I'm not the only one who sees it that way.

After hearing the whole thing, I'm not so sure about this. I still like the energy of it, but it's really repetitive and kinda feels half-baked.
