Review Summary: Not as good as Green Day's Garage/Indie side project the Foxboro Hot Tubs, but still an excellent effort. Best of the trilogy. 8.2/10 With mixed reviews by critics and fans alike, I went into the second entry of Green Day's three album trilogy with expectations. I was however, very impressed. Eyes may have been rolled a bit at the sappy opening "See You Tonight", until Tre Cool's crushing drums begin "*** Time". At this point we know this is a sex, drugs, and rock and roll party album, that's one hell of a ride. Our favorite immature 90s Green Day is (briefly) back. "Stop When The Red Lights Flash" is a fast paced Melodic-Punk joy ride."Lazy Bones" gives us a throwback to Pop-Punk songs of 90s Green Day like "She" and "Scattered", and is very welcome. "Wild One" is a bit predictable, but still manages to somehow work. "Makout Party" is where the Garage Rock shines the brightest, with an awesome, dirty bass line from Mike Dirnt. "Stray Heart" sounds like it could of come straight from the 60s, with a great bubble gum Pop chorus. "Ashley" begins startling, but puts you right in the middle of the 1980s California Punk scene. "Baby Eyes" swims between dark verses, and a hooky chorus."Lady Cobra, like "Makeout Party" is a heavier kick ass Rock and Roll song. "Nightlife" is a Rap-Rock song with vocals from rapper Lady Cobra. It's a hit or miss for listeners, but I found myself enjoying it. "Wow! That's Loud" is the rawest song Green Day's released in years, all for the better. The closer, "Amy" is a gorgeous tribute to the late Amy Winehouse. It's too bad these albums weren't more of a hit, because "Amy" is going to go down as one of the most overlooked songs ever. It seems like I'm one of the only people who has enjoyed these albums. They are indeed vastly over-hated. Stay tuned for reviews on "¡Uno!" and "¡Tre!".

shit album don't bother listening to uno and tres
shit review don't bother writing ones for uno and tres
this is ridiculous it's a tbt masquerading as a sound-off where you tell us literally nothing about the music just make five word vapid observations the only thing i've gotten from this review is
1. the tracklist
2. you really like the song amy, which is a tribute to amy winehouse (in what way? style? lyrics? you see what i mean about you're not giving us much?)
also you should learn the word 'have'

This is the worst of the trilogy. Uno is the only one I kind of like, but it's only because it's a pop record, and unfortunately, Green Day has become a pop band. If they embrace who they are now fully, they might can make some decent music again. Who knows?
On here, they are trying so hard to recapture their glory days, it hurts me to listen to. It stinks of desperation all throughout. This is easily my least favorite Green Day album.

You should do a sound-off trilogy rather than a review trilogy.

Jesus Christ people it was only my first review. If you're expecting ellaborately written literature go read a review from Pitchfork or something.

that comment is probably not a good idea...

Accept constructive/destructive criticism, dude. You won't become a better writer if you don't listen to critics. The review is a little brief. If you stretched this to two or three paragraphs it would be alright.
As it is, it's a bit of a hard read because of the lack of structure.

"Jesus Christ people it was only my first review. If you're expecting ellaborately written literature go read a review from Pitchfork or something."
Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Pitchfork
just take the criticism and write a better review next time man. no one is saying to stop writing, just stop writing poorly.

I don't want to look forward to the review.

"Stay tuned for reviews on "¡Uno!" and "¡Tre!".
