Sarcasm Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Unpopular opinion here, hahah. I feel like 21CB is a thousand times better than Uno!. It was a good album, though; Lyrically, it is my least favorite one, I must say. Overall, I'd give it a 6.5/7 out of 10. Not that this album was ever set up to be lyrically ground breaking.
Malleus Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I'm really not surprised that all it took was a new album for people to stop hating the shit out of 21st. I'm not going to compare it because they're totally different and I can't really make unbiased ratings right now because Uno just came out so I'm obviously in love with that. Both albums give me the same feeling though and I think they're both quality albums, but if I had to guess I'd say that once the excitement of Uno dies down (when we get a new album in like 2 months, holy fuck) that 21st Century will probably be closer to my top favourite than Uno ever will be. Still a solid 8/10 album in my opinion though.

It was a good album, though; Lyrically, it is my least favorite one, I must say. Overall, I'd give it a 6.5/7 out of 10. I became a fan of GD at the start of the AI era, right when it was released, so the Green Day I mostly knew and loved was the epic rock opera Green Day that existed on both AI and 21CB. Of course, I also really like Dookie and Warning, Dookie as a really strong pop-punk album that is just fun, and Warning for having some of the best individual songs, but overall I like Green Day better in their rock opera form. So I too think 21CB was far better, but at least a few songs off Uno preserved that sound.
Sarcasm Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 sweet 16 is by FAR the best song for me! the 2nd part of troublemaker after the solo is fucking GREAT to and the solos the best on the album so idk about all the hate.. the lyrics arent good though i understand that. just a great album in general 8.5/10 for me!!! i know DOS will be my favorite though! pre-set emotions like that may end up ruining the experience. In my case, I expected uno to be a tumor in Green Day history, but then I was blown away,
bjafan129 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Here's my rating of uno so far Nuclear Family 8/10 Stay The Night 9/10 Carpe Diem 5/10 Let Yourself Go 7/10 Kill The DJ 8/10 Fell For You 10/10 My favorite for now of the album Loss Of Control 2/10 Angel Blue 4/10 Sweet 16 8/10 Rusty James 7/10 Oh Love 9/10
1000SlappyHours Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I've loved Sweet 16 since we first heard at the Tiki Bar and the studio version is amazing.
beejeezee Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I don't always download album leaks . . . But when I do I only listen to the songs that have been officially released. In other words I'm trying hard as hell to resist.
green day blink 182 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 pre-set emotions like that may end up ruining the experience. In my case, I expected uno to be a tumor in Green Day history, but then I was blown away, very true but DOS has makeout party.. and just foxboro hottubs sounding green day is the best thing theyve ever done to me so im sure it will be my favorite but who knows!
deletethisaccount Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 ¡Uno! was so much better than I expected. Despite the cleaness of the guitars, the songs are more pumpass than anything from 21st Century Breakdown. TroubleMaker is the only song I don't care for. Maybe it'll grow. I was never too crazy about Oh Love, but hearing it as the closing song after everything else, Oh Love is sounding better than ever.

Kissing_a_Nun Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Oh John, I'm sorry, I misunderstood. sorry, but English isn't my first language. My fault. sorry.
jtdscape Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Rusty James has become my favorite song after listening to the album through a few times. Love it sooo much!
green day blink 182 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Nuclear Family - 8.5/10 Stay The Night - 9/10 Carpe Deim - 8/10 Let Youself Go - 8/10 Kill The DJ - 7.5/10 Fell For You - 8/10 Loss Of Control - 7.5/10 Troublemaker - 8/10 Angel Blue - 8.5/10 Sweet 16 - 10/10 Rusty James - 8/10 Oh Love - 8/10 Overall a pretty good album.
1039SweetChildren Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Maybe it's just the complete 100% freshness since we'd heard nothing of it before today, but I'm freakin' obsessed with Loss of Control.
sundown Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Have typed out the lyrics to Rusty James and Fell For You, but am not really impressed. I mean, it's still a really great album and like what has been said before, I love the honest simplicity of the melodies and overall sound, but yeah, could've done better lyrically. but what is the meaning of rusty james? i didnt get it.
AwfulHomesick Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 but what is the meaning of rusty james? i didnt get it. Sounds very perverse. (To me )
Malleus Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Rusty James is a sad song when you think about it.
basKT_case90 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Maybe it's just the complete 100% freshness since we'd heard nothing of it before today, but I'm freakin' obsessed with Loss of Control. f I'm loving it too. It's a song that could very well have been taking from Dookie or Insomniac
jtdscape Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Rusty James is a sad song when you think about it. I feel like it could be the closing to a movie or something.
Malleus Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I feel like it could be the closing to a movie or something. Hahaha, I tweeted the same thing when I was first listening to it. It really does have that feel.
WalkingContradictionPL Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 this is exactly what im talking about!!! why dont you have a listening party with your friends (so you can still be excited and what not) and then buy the album a few days later... We can't make listening party cos we live in different cities. I could still listen it on my own now, but it wouldn't be that gorgeous feeling like I'll have when listen to it on Monday. I know myself the best and can resist to listen to it now
greendayrocksmysocksoff Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 ok i'm about to listen to UNO for the first time. :-) Will let you know what think once I listen to it :-D
St3veHimself Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Troublemaker's guitar solo is so great! The whole album is amazing!
desertrose Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Can't wait to hear this! I pre-ordered so I am waiting to hear it next week. Lots of excitement. All of your reviews are great.
Guest Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Really, all of the songs except Kill the DJ and Troublemaker are at least ok in my book. That makes it a huge improvement over 21CB. I'm really not surprised that all it took was a new album for people to stop hating the shit out of 21st. I still hate the shit out of 21CB...
