	QUEENSRŸCHE have posted the following message on their official web site: "Look out Germany... 'Operation: Mindcrime II' hits stores on March 31st, 2006. And the first single has been changed to 'I'm American'. Storyboards for the video were completed last week and will begin shooting late next week. Look for the video and single to debut towards the end of February. Once the date firms, we'll let you know."

The CD mixing and mastering was completed earlier in the month and the track listing has been reworked a bit, with two new tracks having been added.
