I'm really anticipating this Album. From what I've read, they went from the sound of Warning, to a more punk-ish sound, with major influences from bands like The Who.

You think 9 min is long? Pop in "A Change Of Season" by Dream Theater 23 min 3 seconds of kick ass music with lyrics that will make ya say "Wow".

Or thorw in "Rime Of The Aincent Mariner" by Iron Maiden, 13 min of pure music pleasure.

I was never really much a green day fan. I've had my time of listening to it. But most music from the 90's pisses me off cause of what I call a "Lack of passoion for music"

I'll most likely check it out though, thanks for the tip ^^

The difference is Dream Theater is in the genre of Power Metal which is known for its songs that exceed 5 minutes, usually ranging from 5-7.

As opposed to punk, which has song averages of 2-3 minutes. So a 9 minute song in Punk is pretty damned long, espcially for Green Day. No, it's not the longest (The longest i've found is "The Decline" by NOFX, which holds 18 minutes), but still not as short as a most other songs that fall under the punk genre.
