Small review of Uno (german)

[Irrlicht]

I found this on a swiss website (don't ask me what i'm doing on swiss websites :D). The whole record gets analyzed in a few sentences: we learn about the quality of !Uno! ("B-Sides of American Idiot", what the fuck?) and more about songs like "loss of control".

Nicht eines, nicht zwei, sondern gleich drei neue Alben veröffentlicht die kalifornische Poppunk-Band Green Day in den nächsten Monaten.

“¡Uno!”, ”¡Dos!” und ”¡Tré!” heissen diese drei Werke.

Eines muss aber gesagt sein: Auf “¡Uno!” weht ein frischer Wind. Natürlich, Green Day bleibt Green Day, aber von den Stadionhymnen auf dem Vorgängeralbum “21 Century Breakdown” ist nicht mehr viel übrig. Schon der Opener “Nuclear Family” erinnert an “Nice Guys Finish Last“ und lässt das Fan-Herz ein klein wenig höher schlagen.

In einem rasanten Tempo geht es auch gleich weiter. Mit Songs wie “Stay The Night”, “Carpe Diem” und “Let Yourself Go” spielt die Band das, was sie am besten kann: schnelle Songs, nicht zu hart, nicht zu weich und Texte, die live jeder mitsingen kann.

Bei “Kill the DJ” schlagen die Jungs rund um Sänger Billie Joe nun aber Töne an, die man so noch nicht kennt. Funky, tanzbar und vor allem hitverdächtig. Mit “Loss of Control” folgt der perfekte Green-Day-Livesong: “We’re so Crazy, You’re so Crazy” – das bleibt hängen.

Auch Songs wie “Angel Blue” oder “Rusty James” bilden keinesfalls eine Ausnahme der “Green-Day-Regel”. Nur “Oh Love” fällt aus dem Konzept: langsamer Radio-Rock, der zu Recht den Abschluss der Scheibe bildet.

Fazit: Neu erfunden haben sich Billie Joe, Mike und Tré nicht. Es bleibt der Beigeschmack, dass gewisse Tracks auch genauso gut eine B-Seite zu einer “American Idiot”-Single hätten sein können.

Das Album macht trotz allem Spass und im Gegensatz zu “21 Century Breakdown” hat “¡Uno!” wieder mehr Tempo und ist um einiges erfrischender. Fans, die sich nach den guten alten Zeiten sehnen, werden hier also garantiert fündig.

Überzeugt euch selbst:”¡Uno!”, ab dem 21. September überall erhältlich.

Jetzt kann ich kaum auf Loss of Control warten c:

I can honestly see where they're coming from when they say some songs could have been B-Sides of AI singles. Sound-wise, some songs really remind me of the B-Sides that were released under AI.

For those who don't understand what it's saying:

"Loss of control" is described as the ultimate Green Day live song (which makes me super excited to hear the song!)

The album's got more tempo than 21st CB and sounds more refreshing!

[yuridookie]

That is, from what I understand some tracks of Uno! come from the b-side of American Idiot? This is bullshit.

No it means that some songs SOUND like they could be on American Idiot...

Although you know Good Riddance was a b-side for Insomniac right?And that it was written during Dookie...

[yuridookie]

I Know, then in another period

[Dalya]

Can anybody translate the whole thing?

it may be correct musically, but lyrically it's as far away from the truth as it gets

There is really nothing new in there but if you want...

Not one, not two, but three albums are being released by Californina poppunk-band Green Day within the next couple of months

“¡Uno!”, ”¡Dos!” and ”¡Tré!” is what they're titled.

But one thing has to be said: On “¡Uno!”, there is a wind of change blowing. Of course, Green Day is still Green Day, but there is not much left of the stadium anthems of “21 Century Breakdown”.

The opener already, "Nuclear Family", reminds us of "Nice guys finish last" and makes every fan heart leap of joy. The album continues with a wild pace. In songs like "Stay the night", "Carpe diem" and "Let yourself go" the band does what they're best at and that's playing fast songs, not too hard, not too soft, and lyrics that everyone can easily sing along to.

With "Kill the DJ", the guys strike a whole different, unknown note. Funky, danceable and above all it sounds like a potential hit. "Loss of control" is the perfect Green Day live song: "We're so crazy, you're so crazy" - lyrics that get stuck in your head. Also songs like "Angel Blue" or "Rusty James" do not constitute an exception to the "Green Day rule". Only "Oh Love" does not fit into the concept: slow radio rock, that justifiably closes the album.

Conclusion: Billie Joe, Mike and Tré did not reinvent themselves. What remains is the overtone that certain tracks could also have been b-sides of an "American Idiot" single.

Still, the album is a lot of fun and has a lot more pace than "21st Century Breakdown" does and sounds more refreshing as well. Fans that long for the good, old times will enjoy this album!

Thanks a lot, Anja. Your translations is very clear

[Anja]

Thanks a lot, Anja. Your translations is very clear

I do hope so since it's what I'm majoring in haha And you're welcome!

[Hermione]

Thanks so much for the translation Anja. That makes me really excited for Loss Of Control too!

[WalkingContradictionPL]

Es bleibt der Beigeschmack, dass gewisse Tracks auch genauso gut eine B-Seite zu einer “American Idiot”-Single hätten sein können.

For me some b-sides from American Idiot are better then songs from record.

yes. i really like favorite son and it's better than extraordinary girl in my opinion.

[Pieces of Truth]

Scheiße Ja Ich werde mir dann wohl Loss of Control + Stay the Night anhören, der Rest soll eine überraschung sein und wird mich noch aufgeregter machen, wenn ich am Freitag im Bus auf dem weg nach Hause sitze und durch das !Uno! Booklet blättere EINE WOCHE!

Querem que comece a falar Português para não perceberem nada do que digo? Parece, isto é um fórum de Green Day, parem lá com as conversas privadas em ambiente público.

This is in portuguese. You don't know what it says? I surely can't read german, so please keep those conversations pm only, this is a public space and I would love to be able to participate. BTW, thanks a lot ANJA for the, apparently, amazing translation.
