This is just Green Day doing what they do best. It will be number one. Even with high expectations I know the album is going to be really good if not great and I'll be happy with that. Can't really say much else. The song is what I expected and frankly what I wanted. Now I'll wait for the album to see about the "meat" of the whole.

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. I agree

Since nothing else is making any notable progress on Alt right now, this could be #1 there for a very, very long time.

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? I dont mind JOS, I find it to be a solid album track, I just dont like 10 minute songs out as singles, they are too long to listen to frequently and I cant maintain interest.

I figured this could get to #1 in a week. So glad they're back!

I think it's more interesting than any of their other songs. It changes frequently, for one, and unlike other songs it IS longer, so there's more of it to love, which creates high replay value.

Especially since by the end of the song you have to play it again to remember how the beginning went.

lol I just noticed how the drum line is identical at the start to that of "You Better Pray" by RJA and I pointed that out before DTM posted it on M4B

Today, it reached top 30 on Mediabase Alternative:
- 29 GREEN DAY Know Your Enemy 404 - 404 2.908
75 stations playing.
Today, it reached top 50 on Mediabase Active:
152 47 GREEN DAY Know Your Enemy 223 7 216 1.305
64 stations playing.
Hmm, it was 7 spins last week... I guess some active station(s) was/were playing the 90 second clip.
It's a huge debut on Alternative but to be honest I was expecting it to be already top 20 on its first day. It should be #1 in one week though. I just hope it doesn't spend more than 10 weeks at the top.

That would require about 800 spins in a single day, an average of over 10 per station. Which just isn't gonna happen on this format. Very nearly happened to 311. Those 807 spins weren't all from the first day were they? Because if that were to keep up for a week (which it obviously wouldn't), it would have nearly three times as many plays as the current #1.

Would you rather have one day or three days to live?

Up to you. Whatever you'd wanted to do your whole life but didn't have the guts to do until now.

If I didn't have the guts to do it then, why would I have the guts to do it now?

Because you knew you were about to die and you had nothing to lose?

That sounds like a pretty selfish kind of attitude, doesn't it? What about all the people I'll leave behind? God, man, think of other people for a change.

Since one equals three, can I gave you a $100 bill and get three of them back?
On a side note, this is already the 12th most replied to topic.

"Lights Out" is a sub-par "American Idiot" retread. Hopefully the fact that it's only a b-side means there won't be any more of those on the album.
