Maybe this is to tell you the CD is over, start again?

I picked this CD up on Tuesday, and I have to agree with everybody so far. Green Day really out-did themselves on this one.

Yeah, it showed as 6:44 in my PC, 4:14 in my portable.
What is the data track?
All I can get out of the 'enhanced' part of the disc is a page to enter my email, and a page to buy ringtones.

I am loving this album... it is a masterpiece as others have said... and tonight I get to see GREEN DAY play it in it's entirety!!!!!! I am super psyched for the show tonight and hopefully will be getting the band to autograph my copy of IDIOT this afternoon... A very Green Day indeed. Glad to hear others are enjoying the album as much as I am. I'll update with info about the show tomorrow!

The Toronto show on the American Idiot tour was insane. Probably one of the best shows I've ever seen... EVER. They kicked the roof of the joint, rocking through all 13 Idiot tracks, then coming back and playing Longview, Brain Stew/Jaded, Minority and ended the night with a fantastic cover of Queen's WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, with Billy Joe wearing a fake Freddie Mercury moustache.... a brilliant show....also of note, they were RECORDING the show... I think they might be making some of these IDIOT shows available as part of a LIVE disc... AWESOME.

i really think they should do the American Idiot track list live and in order for more than just the 4 shows.
screw all their hit singles, this sounded really cool.
i guess i'll pick up the dvd when it comes out, which you know it will.
BTW - the import single has 2 versions (like normal)
CD1
1. American Idiot
2. Too Much Too Soon (b-side)
CD2
1. American Idiot
2. Shoplifter (b-side; enhanced track on album)
3. Governator
I wonder what the "Governator" b-side could be about?

Green Day has a reputation for being an amazing live band. I've seen them twice and they blew everyone away. Especially when they played with blink 182. Blink came on second, and a ton of people left the stadium during their set.
Governator is sung by Mike Dirnt so it's a little bit different. It's an ok song, but I reccomend Too Much Too Soon more. Shoplifter is an ok song but it's not the best. I've only listened to it a few times and I was disappointed to see that was the one Best Buy has because I had already gotten Shoplifter weeks before AI was released.

someone brought this into work the other day and played it while we were closing up. it surprised me, i actually enjoyed it quite a bit (though i'm not a big fan of the title song). Not their best, but a big improvement over Warning, so i'll definitely pick this up.

This is hands down my second best album of the year (beind Matt Good's 'White Light Rock & Roll Review'). I can honestly say I love every track on it and it's highly replayable.

Yeah, the sudden cut off had me wondering. Thanks for confirming it wasn't just me or my player.
Believe it or not, but I tried out this album based on Stephen King's suggestion in one of his EW columns (best of 2004 type of diatribe). It's loud and infectious. I was surprised at how much of this album I had heard felt familiar to me.

I know im late but i finally got this CD and i cant stop listening to it! Im not one of those people who get a new CD and download the whole thing to thier iPod, Dell DJ, etc., i always only pick the ones i like, but with this album it was different. Almost every single song is perfect and the ones that arent are still f#cking awesome! Its one of the few albums i put entirely onto my Dell DJ. Im loving this CD, it better win AOTY at the grammy's (screw Usher!)

I was not a fan of Green Day when they first started to generate some attention. I wrote off Dookie as, well... dookie. But I picked up their greatest hits collection a while ago and got last year's brilliant American Idiot, and the more I listen, the more I am convinced that Green Day is the latter-day Clash. Green Day matters, in a day and age when very few artists do. And they know their history... Much like the Clash, they're not afraid to trot out their album collection and put their influences out there. I think American Idiot one of the best albums (I love using that word) of the past 10 (20?) years! And the record's quality is flawless - the performance and production are state of the art, like a U2 album. Grammy! (Like that means anything any more... but still.)
