Good, but I have only ever had a Creative Zen Microphoto and an original iPod Nano to compare it to... it's far better than both of those. My only complaints are the software and the lack of audio options on the actual player. It still sounds good, really good, I'd just like the option to play with some equalizers.

You can download any person's game or application and put it on free and legally, with your warranty still intact and you don't need everything to be .m4a... those are my 2 favourite things it does better than iPod.

Oh, I have the 80 gb, don't know if there's different versions of it... I got mine under a year ago.

I had this set up for while, but the screen on my e200 broke. I got a Samsung YP-P2 to replace it. I flashed the firmware on the first day I had it so it can be used as a USB drive, instead of syncing with Windows Media Player. It works pretty well, but the battery life is relatively short, and the touchscreen can be be more annoying than useful sometimes.

Yes because no good song as EVER had a hook or chorus that was repetitive. Right.

Thanks for the link dude, was getting the itch to hear it. As for the video, yeah it's safe but so is the song. mid-tempo and it felt slightly uninspired. Still, might fit with a context better.

If its worth anything, even though I liked this song, I've heard a good deal of the other songs on 21'st Cent Breakdown and they are WAY better than this single. They should have went with a different one for the first.

I don't see what that has to do with anything though, considering a lot of their recent output as Green Day has very little in common with the songs they wrote that influenced said band(s) way back when.

The fact that they helped spawn an incredibly popular musical subgenre does not exempt them from criticism, especially when they've start buying into their own hype.

1) most of the posters here are past puberty. we're slow, strange, and old, remember?

2) they probably weren't, actually.

3) why should we respect them for bowing to the demands of corporate execs to have a completely radio friendly (note: bland and unimaginative) song to sell to the ~ignant masses~? should we respect them because they have fame? that they have a lot of albums, but only a few decent songs in comparison to bands with about as many albums but have good songs on at least 80% of the album? no.
