Zelda Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 The boys have seriously outdone themselves. Gonna listen to this shit all day long.
That Dude Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I will post pictures later, but did anyone else notice on the plastic wrap on the top of the album, it says "YUNO!". I found this rather funny. Also, while browsing around best buy, I saw a copy of 21st Century Breakdown with a different album cover. It was the Class of 13 cover, upside down. very strange. I have pictures of that too. No, it's today. Best Buy has it. They did not have it. All they had was the regular album explicit version, and the green day collection box set.
DarrenDookie Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Uno! is in 7th, 10th AND 12th on US iTunes, very nice Surprised to see the clean version is in 10th....
Bam13 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 The box set comes with "surprises" inside the place holder for the other CDs... Made me laugh.
Ritz Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1694366/green-day-billie-joe-armstrong-uno.jhtml Did you guys read it?
VisionsofGreenDay115 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Is anyone else relying on FedEx to ship your copy? I ordered mine on Amazon literally the day pre-orders went on sale all the way in June... and Amazon is telling me that it will be here today. But if i go to the tracing number... it says that it wont be here until tomorrow. And I specifically ordered shipping to get it on this day. Help. The day of release! They haven't shipped mine yet. :/ have you recieved your copy yet? Still waiting on mine...
Mandy_PunkRock Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 http://www.mtv.com/n...trong-uno.jhtml Did you guys read it? WTH? Fuck MTV! now more than ever! They think they know everything about his personal life and how it is related to ¡Uno! ? Without asking him? Without having knowledge about that? Ok, MTV, if you are going to make a review about an album do not invent things. That kind of shit is starting to piss me off! MTV and all the other stupid media, stop this shit please and leave him alone!

Hermione Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 http://www.mtv.com/n...trong-uno.jhtml Did you guys read it? What a lot of crap in there.
Bastard of 1967 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 http://www.mtv.com/n...trong-uno.jhtml Did you guys read it? Yes - and I agree with the points about BJ's wrestling with his own issues through his songwriting, especially since it's always been so autobiographical. My wife and I were just discussing this the other day -- the trilogy is more than just a party, it's a three-album cry for help. After his problems came into public view the other day, this fabulous and fascinating album has become more challenging and even a little bit painful for me to listen to, and my heart goes out to BJ along with my hopes for his quick and complete recovery. Edit: Like Hermione, I do find the sensationalist assumptions about the root causes of Billie's issues to be offensive. This mars an otherwise good interpretation of iUno!'s lyrical content in light of Billie's recent problems.
Hermione Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I agree that the news about Billie makes listening to the album a different experience, with some of the lyrics that much more real and poignant. That is a good point to be fair. But the article goes far beyond that into pure speculation and assumptions. It's sensationalist. And it's annoying to know that there's gonna be loads of reviews of and articles about the album that focus on this news about Billie instead of the album or try to relate everything on the album to it.
_Maxi_ Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Wait, wait! So I can buy a couple of different versions of the CD in the US?! so I can really buy the one without the swears? really? or did I get it wrong? which one is the "normal" one? because I don't wanna have the clean version. (sorry but I have only been living in the US for about 5 months...)
WalkingContradictionPL Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I got Uno yesterday. This reacird is great, of course, it's not my favorirte one (I think Warning always will be my fav cd), but it's great. I love Troublemaker and Carpe Diem. I shouldn't have listenet do recordings from secret shows of Stay the Night. It was hard for me to hear cd version for the first time, but second was better and now I love it too. For me the weakest song is Sweet 16. I like it,but the least.
~ Walking Contradiction Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Just listened to it at last! I bought the vinyl 'cause I couldn't wait the cd of the box set, it will arrive tomorrow I think...I love it my favourite songs are Stay the night, Carpe diem, Fell for you and Rusty James
fatherotti Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Where is my download link to the free copy I was promised???? I bought 4 tix through tickets.com and still haven't got my link sent. I notice those on Ticketmaster have their links already thats why im wondering.
jona92 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-GREEN-DAY-UNO-JAPAN-CD-BONUS-TRACK-/350608652307?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item51a1e77813 the bonus track is a live version of Let yourself go
cabot_girl Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I love it!!!!! Been a fan since '95, and I must say I love this album a whole lot more than 21st CB and AI. It's a perfect blend of all the things that make me a devoted fan. Highlights for me: Stay the night, Rusty James, sweet 16, nuclear family:-)) but their all good <3
Australian1diot Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Highlights for me: Stay the Night, Loss of Control, Angel Blue, Sweet 16 and Rusty James. XD
Sanity Loan Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 They did not have it. All they had was the regular album explicit version, and the green day collection box set. Interesting. My store carried it, which was surprising. Should have checked the in-store availability on BBY's website.
Dori_Epiphone Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Highlights for me: Stay the Night, Loss of Control, Angel Blue, Sweet 16 and Rusty James. XD Highlights for me: iUNO!
Sanity Loan Posted September 25, 2012 Author Posted September 25, 2012 With that MTV article, it's refreshing to hear a journalist say that a person shouldn't have to talk about their personal issues. Never hear that anymore. That's the one positive thing I take from that article. Though, it does raise a good point or two - are some of the songs about Billie's "problem?"
localinsomniac Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 It's just sitting in my car right now, waiting for me to leave work. I didn't bother opening it since the store's only 15 minutes from the office. The clock is laughing in my face.
