In this record, they plan on breaking away from their usual 2-3 minute song style, and doing songs that are much longer. Heres a quote from an article: "A band that's known for the perfect two-minute song is now writing nine-minute epics," Armstrong says. "It's scary to think about." 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. -------------------- <img src="http://tehnimmy.com/sigs/omg.php">

Haha. I could never really get "in to" punk, it sounds to repetitive. Their doesn't seem to be much going on except poorly written music, to poorly written lyrics.

The poorly written music and lyrics are actually part of the design. Punk was meant to be a direct attack at the commercialization that music took on in the 70's. Overly produced bands and lavish "concept" albums by mainstream arena bands prompted some musicians to revolt, and create a sort of anti-music. Simple 3 chord structures and primitive angry vocals were the complete opposite what was being spoonfed to the masses from coccaine addicted record companies. What is ironic now is the fact that "punk" has become quite commercial itself. Back then punks would make their own clothes and hairstyles, basically creating a fashion statement out of anarchy. Nowadays one can simply go to the corner Hot Topic and with a few swipes of the plastic, come out with a complete punk ensemble.

Some of the pioneers of the punk rock music era.

Patti Smith
The Ramones
Iggy and the Stooges
The New York Dolls

Just for reference, I am not much of a Green Day fan.

Dude, you suck... lol. I knew all that, but today, it seems that "punk" isn't the same as what it used to be. The repetiteveness is not in the single song, it's that every song sounds the same.
