Anyone else yet to listen to new Green Day songs?

[Micky]

Still resisting

I listened to the singles only (plus Nuclear Family).

[Bastard of 1967]

I haven't yet. I'm not crazy. But I like to go into an album not knowing anything. With Green Day, I always close myself off from the world and listen to the entire album through on its release day. Been doing it since Warning. Green Day was big for me in high school...nimrod was life changing to me.

Anyone else or am I the only one? haha

I respect the views of anyone who's deliberately chosen to save themselves for street day. My own personal belief, however, is that life's too damn short to have to wait to hear great new music. If it's dropped in any form, the band says it's finished, and they want us to listen to it if we want to, I say go for it.

I don't disagree with that; I've definitely done the same in the past. This time around, I just want to approach the first listen with fresh ears! My opinions aren't colored by overplaying any of the singles or leaked material. Every song is going to be brand new to me, which hasn't been true since Insomniac.

Somebody mentioned somewhere that they're on a self-imposed Green Day ban until release day. As of yesterday, I'm doing the same. It's nice digging into the more neglected parts of my music collection.

I can totally understand that point of view. The reason why I won't spoil anything of Uno (except the singles) is this sacred moment of your first listen. You know.. laying in your bed, getting out the booklet and read the lyrics while hearing most of the songs for the first time. This is just a priceless and special moment of music to me. And I hope I'm not alone with this opinion

[Annie, get your gun]

I'm waiting 'til "25th" as well... I want it to be a surprise.

BUT, I must admit, and I'm kind of dissapointed of myself about it, I listened to Fell For You 'cause the damn leak from Billie Joe left me wanting for the whole thing. It's wonderful, btw. But other than that, nothing nothing.

and I understand not wanting versions that aren't the best quality but once its out in its entirety in good quality by the band itself, I guess I don't really understand the logic of waiting longer. For me, I want to be a part of sharing and experiencing all this with everyone, not coming in a week late when everyone is done and over it.Ya know?

For me it's just so I can have the enjoyment of going to buy the CD and bringing it home and hearing surprises on it when I listen to it the first time. The first listen of the music would be just as enjoyable if I did it now with the leak or in a few days with the CD, but since I don't mind waiting at all I'd rather wait and get the little bonus of it feeling fun and exciting when I buy the CD instead of it feeling a bit pointless as I've already heard it. Not hearing it at the same time as everyone else is a bit of a downside, but I think people will still be up for talking about it next week so I don't mind. On balance I'd rather do it this way.

Thank you! It's harder to practice self-control in the digital age. Release day is a special day- I want my first listen to be in the car at full blast while I drive around for 40 minutes. Then again at home, with headphones and a lyrics sheet. And again and again. And fucking again.

One more day! I can do this, I can do this.. that digital download better be available at midnight

Yes of course. I paid for it and I will listen to it as soon as it's released! It's an official release, I'm sure the quality will be great.

[A song for the lovers]

I prefer to wait....

[localinsomniac]

that's exactly what I do. Glad I'm not alone.

You are far from alone, friend.

Off to buy the album tomorrow morning. So excited
