As always, if this has been covered, forgive, but I was just poking around and noticed that "Boom" was now listed in the player as being 4:56. I gave it a listen and it's defintely longer than the origianl file from Tuesday (which iTunes informs me is 3:19). I downloaded the album again, but sadly the MP3 is still the 3:19 version, but if you're looking to hear what the full length track is like ahead of Sunday, head on over. I think it works a little better than the short one; feels a little more substantial.

Good lookin' out - thanks!

i wonder if the CD versions will be any longer than the download versions? probably not, but it'd be fun if there were little discrepancies like this between the two formats.

Okay...I just timed what's currently playing on the site...and it's still the 3:19 version.

I hope we're in for a treat on Sunday!

wait.. Boom will be different on the target version?

That's what someone else has said, and that it seques into Crimson And Clover. I could have sworn there were parts I didn't recognize when I listened a few minutes ago, but perhaps I was just wanting to here that?

i am see'in what your sayin.. i'll let you know if it's different.. listenin now

nope same one..

Yeah, what's the deal with "Boom"? It seems to cut out very abruptly.

i really hope the cd would contain the full version....this song is great...bass and guitar are killing me

I wouldnt think that a new longer version would be put up after the online release. People downloaded it the day it became available and the site doesnt let you download it again. That would screw those who were the most devoted and signed up first.

So this thread is a complete false alarm...
