O.O ok does anyone else hear Shoplifter in Dirty Rotten Bastards around 4:23? sing the lyrics of Shoplifter to the guitar. *mind blown*

Actually the whole forum does.

Worst album in a disappointing trilogy. Uno and Tre both sound very generic and will be quickly forgotten. Dos stands out to me as the most experimental and the most "Green Day" of the three, and is easily my favorite (despite the horror that is Nightlife...props for trying BJ). If I had to replace the trilogy with 1 cd it would be DOS minus Nightlife...throw in Let Yourself Go, Oh Love, maybe Stay the Night, X-Kid, Brutal Love (maybe), 99 Revolutions, and Dirty Rotten Bastards

[TheJedi]

okay, question to the not too negative people: do the songs on Tré really sound THAT much like other songs or do they just sound inspired from those bands?!

I've not listened yet, I hate to always hear people say "this song sounds like this songs -.- "

Tre has no more similarities to other songs than the rest of the trilogy or the discography imo

This was an amazing album. I only listened once, and I definitely agree with the majority of people saying that the great tracks were GREAT, but then the middle songs were insanely forgettable. I liked Sex, Drugs, and Violence and Amanda enough, but Train and Walk Away, I can hardly remember (Train is definitely the worst)... but the incredible songs surrounding these make up for them tenfold that even though it may have some of the weaker songs on the trilogy, it's still the best album. And with songs like X-Kid, Brutal Love, DRB, those are some of the best they've ever produced. And when I think of American Idiot as their greatest work, well, if it weren't for the opera storyline, I'd still be thinking She's a Rebel and Extraordinary Girl were boring as fuck. And the average songs on Tre are more interesting than those, so...

Hell yeah, all the way through that section of DRB. I can't listen without thinking it's Shoplifter.

Did you cave two times?

[Chuckk]

See You Tonight followed by Dirty Rotten Bastards makes the best intro ever

[uhleckseee]

Dirty Rotten Bastards sounds almost exactly like Shoplifter in some parts.

So far, I think the album is alright. I wouldn't call it the best in the trilogy. The first two albums were steps in the right direction, this one is reverting to some of the things we didn't like in 21CB. It may take a few more listens to love it, but right now, it's okay.

Did you cave two times?

Weird computer fluke But yes, I WILL be caving twice

[brianbags]

Some of the songs stand out to me like no others on the other two

listening for the first time right now, on walk away right now. im really excited to hear dirty rotten bastards, but i may be a minority here who just simply isn't blown away by this album. it's definitely a good record with some good songs, but they honestly all bleed together to me into one big forgettable sound. i like the ambition in the "grand" sound and "hangover type reflection" going on here, but idk, this record just falls flat for me. and that bums me out because i was REALLY pumped for tre. maybe i need to listen to it a second and a third time, but im underwhelmed on this first listen. i really hope that changes. i really do.

[nofuckinsaint]

what do you mean?

I don't think Green Day overly recycles their music and I don't think Tre is any different. (Although the DRB/Shoplifter similarity is the most blatant repetition of the discography, which should be obvious to everyone on the first listen)

[SamMacs]

I've listened to it 4 times since this afternoon. Firstly, Brutal Love. What a fucking amazing song it is! Right up there with the absolute best songs. It's even so damn fantastic that I'm starting to re-think if Stray Heart is really the best song from this trilogy

The album as a whole, I think that it's definitely the best one in the trilogy (which makes it their best album since AI). 8th Avenue Serenade & Dirty Rotten Bastards are my other favourite tracks of Tré. DRB is very fun, all over the place and I especially love when Billie sings "Fuck the world - This is my revolution". And this was the first time that I listened to The Forgotten, it's very good.

The bad things on Tré is the chorus in Sex, Drugs & Violence which I think is really awful and Little Boy Named Train has made no impression on me whatsoever. There's also some strange very noticable effect on the vocals in 99 Revolutions which annoys me but it's still a great song.

[gypsypunk92]

on dirty rotten bastards right now, the highlight of the record. blows the first 10 tracks out of the water in my opinion. sounds like something that could have been on AI or 21CB though without the lyrical depth.

[Clayish]

This is gonna be a bad week.

[nofuckinsaint]

Songs named after girls: Ashley > Amy > Amanda ...to be fair to Amy I am very partial to hardhitters so Ashley kind of wins by default. Also, all three are great!!

[Stan Dellone]

Why couldn't there have been at least one solid album in the trilogy? It's a sad day when ¡Uno! is the stable parent in this fucked up marriage. Sure, ¡Dos! is the cool one you want to hang out with even though he's going nowhere with his life, but ¿Tré? is the coked up dead-beat dad everyone pretends doesn't exist around the holidays. Incoherent doesn't even begin to cover it... What in gods fucking fuck was Dirty Rotten Bastards? Seriously? JOS pt. 2? Maybe after he'd finished with Jimmy's little bag of dope, a fuck ton of novacaine, and someone else's cocaine. Jesus fucking Jesus.
