GTI Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 How long is the Target Special Edition available to buy? I want to know because I might buy it for that live bonus disc, even though I have the album (21cb) from itunes. Is it at Target stores or just on the internet? I have a Target gift card so it would be nice if it was at the store.Someone earlier said there were only two at the Target they went to, so I'd say pretty limited.
Ayame Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I bought it about an hour ago And I've finished uploading it onto my iPod now.
Gary Dee Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I bought mine at my local Fred Meyeys grocery strore. I sat on my couch in my living room with the tv on mute watching the news while listening to the whole album on my mom's nice stero. It's a good album to listen to from start to finish. I especially like the songs Horse Shoes and Hand Grenades, Before the Lobotomy, and 21 Guns.
Bryn Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Went this morning after a hell of a morning to Target and picked up my Exclusive Edition. Went to the car, ripped it open, and put it in. I have never been more blown away in my life. Everyone has been saying that it is so amazing, but I wanted to hear it myself...form my own opinion. I avoided all teh songs, and I am glad I did. It was like opening the best present ever. Right now I am loving "Before the Lobotomy" a lot...I want to listen to it through a few more times. This is the first time I have had a chance to sit down adn listen front to back. Is it just me or does anyone else hear a lot of John Lennon influence in "Last Night on Earth"? It is amazing. Green Day....you made my day, adn I think you have made the best album you have ever made.
Bloody Mascara Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Finally got my mail from the stupid dorm people.Walked to the point and listened to the entire album from start to finish three times. Plus a few of the others that stuck out for me on repeat (iviva la gloria!, christian's inferno, last night on earth, and 21 guns)wow. The emotions that the entire album put me through are inexplicable. I felt sad, elated, thrown, indifferent, calm, excited, and like I wanted to beat the shit out of everyone and dance all at the same time.I've never experienced something so powerful. It may sound extreme and cliche, but it's my personal experience.I couldn't be more satisfied.Kudos to Green Day, honestly. They definitely blew me away. (again)
Justice Not Charity Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 ive been listening to the album nonstop and it really makes a difference when you actually have the physical album. i love just holding it. i've propped it up on my windowsill above the stereo and i love just staring at it as i listen haha. the album art was nice for me when i first saw it..but now i love it. easily better than american idiot art and definately their best art since insomniac and dookie.
Angela. Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Just listened to 21st Century Breakdown the whole way through for the 3rd time today. I fucking love it.
Justice Not Charity Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 \I adore last night on earth. It's so...not Green Day.but when you think about it..it so IS green day. they've always surprised people and done what they've wanted and not what people wanted from them. just look at songs like good riddance. that wasnt anything like dookie or insomniac but they wanted to do it and in the wise words of mike "it was the most punk thing we could have done"
Hayley Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I got the version with the huge booklet for 25 bucks at Best Buyahh
Supermodel*Robot Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 i should have bought the special edition. FUCK fuck fuck fuck fuck
Tiffx Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 wow. The emotions that the entire album put me through are inexplicable. I felt sad, elated, thrown, indifferent, calm, excited, and like I wanted to beat the shit out of everyone and dance all at the same time.I felt like that exactly, thanks for summing it up.
Rowbin Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Last week I ripped the entire thing off of Rhapsody, then converted it to FLAC. But today I ran to Hot Topic and bought the album & a t-shirt for 20 bucks total (great deal). Also picked up the Dookie vinyl while I was there..
Bloody Mascara Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I felt like that exactly, thanks for summing it up.YAY. Glad I wasn't reading too far into it.
Supermodel*Robot Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 does the special edition book have anything else in it, liek extra songs or something? Or just extra art?
Robin105 Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I got it on iTunes for the bonus tracks, and I picked up the deluxe edition today at Best Buy. Sometime in the future I'm thinking about getting a regular copy too. I got both for american idiot.

Supermodel*Robot Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 just extra art okay. I need to talk myself out of being dumb and paying $30 for another copy when all it has is extra art.
Bloody Mascara Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 okay. I need to talk myself out of being dumb and paying $30 for another copy when all it has is extra art.Same. I don't have that extra money right now. Most likely, scans from it will be up eventually anyway.
Sara Armstrong Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 as soon as school ended i went over to best buy & got the limited edition version.it's suuuuch a good cd! i can't decide if i like AI or this one better. it's a very close tie.i am going to FUHREAK~ if they play "east jesus nowhere" @ their concert
Paper_Lantern Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Got the limited edition at Best Buy. The extra art is really cool. I also got the standard one in the mail today, can't decide if I want to keep it or mail it back for a refund.
Samantha Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I'm such a bad personI didn't get a copy todayAnd I was right across the street from a Barnes&NobleiFail
