kworb.net/spotify/artist/7oPftvlwr6VrsViSDV7fJY_albums.html Based on this, Dos is listened to more than FOAM and Tré. Some tracks get played more than others and the lowest streamed tracks on Dos have less daily streams than all of the FOAMF tracks and most of Tré. Stray Heart is the clear biggest track from this album. The 2nd biggest track of the whole trilogy in terms of total streams (after Oh Love) and the biggest track in terms of current daily streams Personally, Dos is my favourite of the trilogy and I really appreciate the trilogy as a whole despite its flaws. Regarding Dos specifically, I think it's thematically the most important album of the trilogy. I've gone into this on the Green Day subreddit so I'll just copy/paste what I said there. On the surface Dos is just a "fun party album" but it really delves into the problems with constant partying, drinking and sex in a dark way. Fuck Time at the start of the album is intentionally just a fun party song but quickly the narrator starts to see warning signs "Stop When the Red Lights Flash" but ignores them. Lazy Bones is about the narrator's depression and addiction. Stray Heart is about infidelity. Ashley is about a girl who was able to manipulate the narrator with her beauty until he begins to see who she has become. An addict who "looks like hell". Following songs like Lady Cobra and Nightlife are also about sexual desire and infatuation. And the album ends with Amy, a tale about how continuing to live this life will result in your demise. Part of the reason why Dos is my favourite trilogy album is because Billie, although he wasn't in his right mind at the time, was really trying to do something here and a lot of people didn't really get what he was trying to say with this album. Obviously there are missteps here, but the album is not the dumpster fire that a lot of people act like it is.5 points

I tend to only listen to it when I'm doing a full listen through of the trilogy, but it's been a while and I don't have anything else going on this Friday evening, so fuck it - let's get stoned and listen to ¡Dos! Ooops, looks like I have ¡Dos! thoughts and this ended up being a whole thing so long essay/review/whatever in the spoiler. Overall the album is uneven. It has lots of good ideas and I think with more time and polish it could have executed on them well it could have become a really strong record. I've always said that the trilogy is a great double album stretched across three albums. ¡Dos! ends up being the weakest of the bunch but I really do think they work best as one long listening experience. In that context its faults are more forgivable but as an album on its own, it doesn't quite stand up, despite having a number of outstanding songs. Following through more on the garage rock concept, having a different approach to the production, and giving the lyrics more attention would have been the thing to do but Billie Joe especially was feeling the pressure to follow up 21st Century Breakdown with something even bigger. It had been a long 3 years in the culture since Breakdown came out, rock was continuing to lose relevance in mainstream popular music, and the trilogy was a casualty of the times and the lack of a solid direction. Standout tracks: Stop When The Red Lights Flash, Lazy Bones, Stray Heart, Wow! That's Loud, Amy.5 points

When I was partying, iDos! was playing a lot in my phone. idk why but iDos! really felt like a party album. Getting fucked and stoned and having the biggest hangover the next morning. For my hangover I was listening to either iTré! or 21stCB.4 points

For me I like to listen to Trilogy albums one after other. Like an event really. I start with the demos from Demolicious. Get the feel of studio. Then on to the video Quatro. Following GD in the studio and on stage making the Trilogy. Almost feel there with them whilst they are recording. Love the part in room, with a board in three parts and each song on cards. The band are deciding which song should be allocated to each album. Billie Joe is holding I think is the last song and throws it at the board to see where it ends up. lol. Then listen to all the songs in sequence as the band decided. It's easy I suppose in hindsight to suggest it could have been released differently, not necessarily a trilogy. But it was the band's choice. Listening to the Trilogy this way, takes my mind back, and to the time of Billie Joe's struggles and illness. I remember seeing a photo somewhere, showing Billie Joe in a hospital bed with Adrienne by his side. He had a smile on his face. I felt so sorry for him. All I could do is pray for his speedy recovery and Iight a candle for him in church. And he did thankfully and came through it, and of course we got to hear more amazing songs for many more years. It's what was happening to them as a band and individually at that time, I don't think I would want to change it. I know this is from Uno not Dos, but it's my fav video of band performing in studio, "Stay the Night" He looks really happy there ❤️3 points

I’ve always liked DOS! the most out of the 3 albums that make up the trilogy. I love the transition from the super soft intro to the Fuck Time drum beat (although I think they could’ve left this song in the Foxboro Hottubs universe). And then the stretch to Stray Heart is one of my favorite sections of any Green Day album. I stand with DOS! until I DIE. Oh and Wow, That’s Loud! has one of their best song breakdowns of all time. Love the guitar harmonics and the drum fill that brings the song back into gear at the end of it. Overall, though I think there are better songs in the trilogy that aren’t on this album (Brutal Love comes to mind), I think this album did the best at keeping me interested as a fan. I think UNO! was a bit one note and TRE! has songs that may go on too long or don’t have enough immediacy. I do love them all though. Recently, I haven’t listened to DOS! much, but I’ve relistened to the entire trilogy a few months ago. It’s nice to revisit them as a package.3 points

I was at the Golden Bull NYE party (how was that 5 years ago?). My old phone hated indoor lighting, so I don't have great pics, but it was a fun night, including Billie shoving me so that he could take pics of Kevin while Prima Donna opened. Finally got up to Christie Road before the show. Do I spy @solongfromthestarsand @Rumpelstiltskin2000 here?3 points

I didn't listen to the Trilogy in general for a while because I overplayed it so much back when it came out. However it's back on the playlist again now and I'm really enjoying it, including the songs from Dos. Stop when the red lights flash live was absolutely incredible and in my mind I can still remember seeing and hearing the band playing it at Emirates Stadium.3 points

I do really like Dos, and Trilogy in general. I find 2 major problems with Trilogy, all can be narrowed to 2 points. 1. From a marketing perspective, releasing three albums was a bad idea - among others: casual fans got overwhelmed. 2. Mixing/mastering - guitars and vocals are over-polished, sterile. I've appreciated Trilogy after some time, I must admin I like most of these songs. My favorites: Lazy Bones, The Forgotten, SD&V, DRB. As we all noticed that everyone has their own favorites and it so much differs. On that case creating a top songs list is impossible. I wouldn't place X-Kid and Carpe Diem as best but I know lot of fans love it. Too me they are just mediocre. I love The Forgotten but it's never been 2nd 21 Guns. The Forgotten is listed as half-decent, an easy listening ballad. DOS is certainly an interesting and worth attention, something fresh in GD discography. Like it or not, they'd never before put such direct Rock and Roll songs like Makeout party, Fck Time, Lady Cobra.2 points

It’s a really cluttered page but I think you misread it. Saviors is listed under best releases of 2024. I looked at the list for new releases for 2025 and couldn’t find Green Day. Am I missing something?2 points

Dos, the second album of the Uno! Dos! Tre! (no, not tres) trilogy. I've seen this album get a lot of hate for no reason, or people label it as the least popular album. Sure, there's better albums, (OPINION!!) But I don't think its a necessarily 'bad' album. the song 'f*ck time' is..... catchy.. and I know for a fact the BJA stans appreciate that one ;-). Any thoughts? I like to know!1 point

interesting this honestly makes sense just because i dont think they would have demoed WTP again (same thing with 409, Christie Road and 2000 LYA), but its cool to know the exact source (which just so happens to be one of the most important kerplunk era shows lmao)1 point

i highly doubt we actually get any new new music this year (although at least 1 of the potential deluxes this year will have some old tunes that we get to hear for the first time)1 point

1039 and kerplunk has the BEST songwritting, but a bad demo sound. They should realase an album with modern live versions of songs from these two albums1 point
