probably the least brutal but still one of my most anticipated album releases of 2012, ¡Uno! kicks off Green Day's upcoming album trilogy ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!,¡Tré!.
after hearing 2 of the 3 released singles (Oh Love and Kill the DJ, Let Yourself Go being the third) i was pretty unsure of what Green Day were trying to do with this first album; Kill the DJ driving those thoughts home. however, after hearing the entire album i'm happy with what happened here. i'm honestly happy that they weren't trying to do another 21st Century Breakdown. (am i right, guys?)
to me, ¡Uno! sounds like American Idiot and Dookie got thrown into a blender. the punk sounds of Dookie and the overall catchiness of American Idiot make for a great sounding album. if the other two albums follow this pattern, they'll definitely be 3 more hits for Green Day.
¡Dos! releases November 13 and ¡Tré! can be expected January 15.
***RATING***- 3.5/5
