My heart.

Is it just me, or do a lot of songs on the Trilogy just feel weirdly out of place with the respective themes of their albums? I feel like Rusty James feels a lot more at home on Tre, Troublemaker should be on Dos, Stray Heart should be on Uno, ect. It just makes everything feel less cohesive.

I love it when Green Day suddenly appears on my fb timeline and if the subtitle of the article is "How eco-friendly musicians are saving the Earth while rocking the globe" it's even better! http://www.rollingstone.com/artists-going-green

I like the trilogy a whole lot. While the themes are kind of lost, I don't dislike any song from Uno Dos or Tre. I dig the sound, too. I love the classic Green Day tone, but the trilogy went a few new routes, and I think they pulled it off well.

Just checking since you are new & you gotta love/watch the little leprechaun

I know who they are, they are great

Okay, running now.

See above your post. Lots of info is provided.

I agree 100%, and brutal love is so good

I'd listen to Dos before Uno. Although Tre is obviously the best

Yeah, they did do a lot of "Green Day" songs, but I'm not going to fault a band for doing what they love. I wouldn't call it recycling old material, especially with songs as good as Let Yourself Go, Lazy Bones, and X-Kid. Anyway, there was a lot of branching out in The Trilogy, Kill The DJ is ironically danceable, See You Tonight is a nice little intro track, Lady Cobra is garage as fuck, Nightlife has a guest rap in it, and Brutal Love has a 50's vibe to it. Comebacks like AI hardly ever happen, and for it to happen twice is highly unlikely. But if there was ever a band to do it, it'd be Green Day. I hope not, Green Day's legacy is too strong for the forum to close. There is still a Nirvana forum after all.

The difference being that Warning was actually a progression in terms of sound and wasn't recycling older material. And realistically, how often do AI-level comebacks happen twice? Ever?

I'm sure people said things like this after Warning too. And look what came after that.

To go back to my old "Green Day are going to break up" rant, which I curtailed for a while after Jimrod made it embarrassing—unfortunately, the Trilogy carries all the hallmarks of a band on the edge of collapse. It's exactly the same thing as Let It Be or Who Are You—a smattering of great stuff mixed in with an embarrassing amount of filler and retread that sounds like even the band realizes they aren't trying anymore. Band members increasingly pursuing solo interests and acting bored, personal struggles eating up certain members' lives, concerts going downhill in terms of enthusiasm and by-the-numbers setlists. Signature elements of their sound ditched and replaced by nothing good. And, of course, awful production. And to be honest, if Green Day are going to continue in this direction, I'd rather not see them release anything else. I don't see how they can progress as a band, really—Billie seems to have exhausted the material he's capable of writing about, and if the guys refuse to move beyond their four-chord structure any new material is going to be indistinguishable from the old.

It's so hard to pick because they are all so good.

I 100% agree.

I was thinking the exact opposite a couple days ago I think the albums should have credit where it's due.

I'm not familiar with here too I love the trilogy though, and that love came from my heart I guess.

Me too! Half of Weezer's albums do that, unfortunately. Green Day is good about it though. I'm going to make sure to do it with my albums. There will be kids who care, but they'll probably be less common :/

I know right?! I am always so disappointed when I buy other artist's albums and they have no lyrics in the booklet. I wonder if the generation younger than us even care about having booklets...

They pulled it off amazingly well. Prefer the older green day stuff, but Love this stuff too

^ I find it hilarious that your username was literally the two albums you didn't physically own yet well I'm glad you got them! I'm on my 4th or 5th copies of my CDs because I'm sick in the head. If I see used green day records for under $4 I end up buying them so they "feel wanted". If it wasn't for self control, I'd probably own over a dozen of each. Thank god I'm broke now.

Mod material Google foxboro hot tubs

The FYE near me had Dos and Tre for $20 each and Uno for only $5. I don't know what's up with that. They were all brand new.

I like them as well but run for cover.

The best thing to do is blast Stop Drop and Roll in the dark with some sort of funky party light and just dance and drink.

Also forgot. Billie covered an Everly brothers album with NoraH Jones called foreverly. It's really good check it out

And Tre's doing Icelandic Death Metal.

Well that's way better than I expected. Would be interesting to see it done with the Clash version. It's funny—Billie lisps really badly when the electric guitar and Tre's drums are removed.

This is the best GD remix, and I never listen to latin music or anything like this. It's just so damn relaxing.
