I LOVE IT. My favorite colors are green and pink so I was hoping for something like this; I know it may not happen but it did! :bunny: I can't ask for anything more, but it would be great if it has more funny pics inside the booklet :happy:

It reminds me a little bit to this random magazine page:

And I also thought about the possibility that maybe they change the colors for DOS & TRE (they should keep pink and green though)

Even though there's a "bleh" option, I still don't know if I should vote either "yes" or "bleh".

I really love the concept but I think it's been executed poorly - a little too much cliché maybe? I really don't know.

But hey, I'm not complaining. I like the cover - but it's not what it could have been.

you remember one of the studio updates which we said GD has gone and seen the Artist?

there were 3 of them doing random stuff ans in the middle of it for one second their eyes were crossed?

It was before announcing the trilogy 8) they were giving us some points :cool:

The cover is just Great & I think pink & green's mixture is so Cool :bunny:

( it reminds me of the pink bunny cuz Billie's face is so similar to that :lol: )

Idk exactly, but I thought they would invent a brand new font for the album, as they did for the others --- I hope DOS & TRE would have something like that :happy: But I still love it

I think it matches the sound Green Day is trying to put out. It's a bit foxboro-ish as pointed out by matt in the GDA post. The album art fits perfectly :)

It's fabulous! Colourful, retro and tongue in cheek, absolutely perfect for the new funky songs. With Billie's smirking face there and the over the top neon colours it's like they're saying "Ha! We're not gonna do a serious cover we're gonna have some fun so there!". Love it.

When all three albums are out it's gonna be SO cool to have those three CDs with three fabulous matching covers :wub:. Talk about a good incentive to buy the CDs instead of just downloading.

I like it, it has a simple punk feel to it.

For the style of music i have hear already: Nuclear Family, Let yourself go and the song from the UNO trailer, then I think the album cover is perfect.

The Bright Green works well with the" Nuclear" from Nuclear Family which I believe will be the title track and it fits well also for the band name.

If I could buy them I would F**king do that, but unfortunately gotta download them :cry::wub:

They don't sell em here!!

I think it's awesome.Proving Green Day are moving away from all the concept stuff of AI and 21stCB and I think it's pretty cool.

They still are an epic band but seems like we will get more simple rock songs along with the epic stadium rock songs and this artwork really fits.

Also it would be great to have all three members when the three albums are out.I hope each album has a different background color.

LOVE. Its's different than what they did before, but thats a good thing. It shows they can really change it up. The Pink X's reminded me of the Drunk Bunny. At first glance, I was pretty surprised, but I love it. BUT I wasnt surprised to see Billie on the cover, i kinda expected it. :D

I think it’s genius. I mean, at first I almost took it as a joke because it’s so bad. But that’s what makes it so good.

The feeling you get about the trilogy is that they're not taking themselves to seriously, they’re just having fun and doing whatever the fuck they want, and this album cover is the epitome of that.

Some hideously clashing, poorly laid out album cover with big pink letters on and billie pulling a pretty daft face is perfect, because it breaks all the rules.

It’s the opposite of what some people would say a Green Day album ‘should’ look like.

The punk crossed out eyes really don’t go with the bright colours, but that may well some up what they’re doing: pushing and breaking the boundaries of what punk bands should do.

And it’s meant to be voyeuristic and personal, so their faces on the covers works really well too. Especially seeing as they’re not the usual made-up ‘look how much we look like rockstars’ magazine photoshoot photos.

And as everyone keeps saying, it will really stand out and make people double take, which is great from a sales perspective.

I’m just looking forward to seeing the set when they go on tour.... :P

I really like it! The colour contrast is, in my opinion, just awesome! it also has this punkish feel to it, ya know? It's also different from anything they've done in the past and it certainly is very eye catching :D

It had to grow on me but I really like it now. I have to admit though every time I get a glance of it I think of Sum 41s Does This Look Infected (Which I'm sure the media will bring up) but then again its totally different from that album cover.

I really like how it's totally different in style from other GD albums. New cover style, new direction...lets do this bring on september!

I think it looks ugly and cheap, like something you'd find on a fake copy, printed on regular paper.

I think it looks fun too, but I feel like it would fit more for a side project than for an album trilogy of a worldwide famous band. But it's got something fun about it too because of that, a cover like this for a band like this.

But overall I'm not too impressed, don't really like the colour scheme and effects.

i really love it, i think it was kind of expected that billie joe was going to be uno, but the colors and the cover its self in my opinion are pretty good xD the color scheme in my opinion were different from green day, but maybe that's what they thought, maybe they thought these colors might fit the music. If all the albums has the same color scheme then I am ok with it, but if each album has a different one that would be nice :)

Posted

It will have to grow on me, but hey it's Green Day so you never know what to expect. I think it works well, 3 albums; 3 different covers with the members on them. And with the video out about Uno, I suppose that's what we're getting from what we saw. I'm excited no matter what, and laughed when I saw the cover. I even showed my dad and he fell in love with it. Guess we'll just have to wait and see! :)

I just changed my vote from "no" to "bleh".

First I was suprised so many liked it, but now I totally get what you people are saying about it that makes it genius. It's funny and different.

But at the same time I think it's ugly and looks like something that's made in 5 minutes and I hate the colors. I saw a post on Tumblr with the different ways Green Day has been wrote on their covers and this:

Made me go like eewww. It makes me think of a girly movie about some woman superheroes.

This is pretty much how I feel

But I actually don't really care about the cover :lol: The music makes me exited.

for me...is really Cool!

Meh, let's see :P But I must admit I don't hate as much as I did the first time I saw it. At all!!

Dammit. You're right.

....

.... I still don't like it.

yeah let's see...it really has to grow on us all...i think almost everyone on here first said they hated the cover and after a few minutes, they all thought it's okay and a while after maybe even loved it...the album cover is genius :D

I love the cover. For the first time, they have an album where you can see it on the shelves before you enter the record store. It's such an incredibly loud cover with the pink and greens, possibly showing that this will be an incredibly loud album

Posted

I'll add "Bleh" as an option. What makes you unsure about it?

I don't know. I like the text. I like the background. I think the xs to the eyes idea is really cool.

But something is off, and it prevents me from accepting it fully

Jesus Christ Elena the cover is awesome, okay!... Dammit! :lol:

This

still annoys me though.

i like it now, but like pretty much everyone else, it took some time. i like the fact that Billie is on Uno, since i had been wondering if they were going to put one of them on each album. i just really dont like pink, but i suppose of any shade of pink - hot pink is the best. i think it fits the music that when with it
