petros Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I don't know how they can be as huge as AI or Dookie.I mean the mainstream music now sucks and it's very far from Green Day's style and also it's a trilogy so I don't know how the singles would work and how they will be selected from every album.People wouldn't know which one to buy so the sales would be divided by three.Except if you mean the sales of all three albums in general. Don't really care about how huge they become anyway I am pretty sure I'm gonna love them anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Now Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'd love if they sounde more Warning/Insomniac-like but with some AI influence Like Favorite son, Shoplifter, Too much too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to listen to them,but I really like AI and Warning,so a like between both would be really nice. yeah those songs are amazing !! ...i just want that they'll do something completely different, maybe with some influences on their older stuff and a bit back to the roots, but mainly completely new, that'd be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Miguel Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I don't know how they can be as huge as AI or Dookie.I mean the mainstream music now sucks and it's very far from Green Day's style and also it's a trilogy so I don't know how the singles would work and how they will be selected from every album.People wouldn't know which one to buy so the sales would be divided by three.Except if you mean the sales of all three albums in general. Don't really care about how huge they become anyway I am pretty sure I'm gonna love them anyway mostly agree with this statement. the thought of any album beating the quality of AI to me seems unrealistic, but i can't wait to see GD try in any case!! every album they have produced has had a good chunk of what i consider to be truly great songs.

Sixtrix Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 As for the singles of each album, I think that would be quite interesting to see how they are going to approach that for the trilogy. I am not sure if they will promote each album separately or promote them all 3 as one item/album Can't wait to find out what they are going to do exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollard_11 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Since my earlier post was drowned out by the annoying as fuck spamming I'll post it again. Does anyone have any similar worries/views/reservations about the 3 albums? I find myself wondering is the 3 albums an excuse to "clean out the closet" as such of all leftover songs they have lying around for the years. I'll wait and see though My other worry is about the length of the albums. Hope we don't get screwed over and get an hour and a half of music in total of the three albums, it would seem like such a cheap marketing ploy if that happened. Personally hoping for 13-15 songs on each album. Again I'll wait and see Also alot of albums to be released in June/July/August have started revealing their tracklistings. Hopefully the iUno! tracklisting release is not far away!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pedestrian Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Well firstly, I don't think they're clearing out the closet. Mike did mention they would do that at some point but this won't be it. They keep saying, that they've been writing NEW material and didn't Billie say "the songs just keep on coming" or something in the press statement? So yeah, it must be new stuff (yay!) Secondly, this is Green Day. They're obviously going to rip us off like that. I genuinely think they just have so many awesome songs they can't cut it down. I mean, nimrod has 18 songs on it, and that's just one album. The fact we're getting three albums means they couldn't even cut it down to that many, or they'd have just released the one. Besides, marketing wise it makes no sense to release three separate albums in the time period that they are. If they were really doing it just to make extra cash then they'd release them more sensibly.... And yeah, I want some proper details too! But according to that trend, we have to wait at least three months seeing as Uno isn't coming out until November. I hope they surprise us again!

It's Splash Time Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I'm not too worried about the albums. I'm sure they will turn out awesome. But I do expect a decent amount of songs on each album, 12-15 maybe, otherwise it might as well be two albums. I'm not sure if this would be them cleaning out the closet. There's probably a hell of a lot more in that closet. Could have just picked a few that have been lying around and realized they could make them better, as has happened with most of their albums.

Does anyone have any similar worries/views/reservations about the 3 albums? I partly had the same worries when the trilogy albums had just been announced. But now that I was able to give it some thought, I don't think we should worry about either the length of the albums in total or the quality of songs they will put on it. It would be the first time that Green Day would screw us over, and besides they won't easily be forgiven for releasing a silly trilogy that is only worth 2 albums in total length and maybe 1 album of good material. I think they just might actually be challenging themselves with this project here. With their passion for music and their dedication for the fans I think there is no doubt that it all will be fine. If not, then I won't be held responsible for the disappointment that I will be sharing as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same, but they won't mess this up. I think they've known about making this trilogy album longer then we thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I don't think they're cleaning out the closet. I really get the impression that they're doing this because they've found themselves writing so much great new stuff. It wouldn't surprise me if nothing but recent songs made it onto there (like no Dreamcatcher, Drama Queen etc). Fits with Billie saying "to reminisce is to die" too. As for how many songs go on each one... again, I think the whole reason they're doing it is because they have three albums-worth of good stuff. No idea how many exactly but I'm sure it won't be some stupid small amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 yeah it totally sounds like they try to make something completely new and don't remeinisce or cover themselves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris. Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 the thought of any album beating the quality of AI to me seems unrealistic, but i can't wait to see GD try in any case!! I think this kind of attitude is what made a lot of fans unable to appreciate fully 21stCB, and might also influence the way you'll enjoy the new trilogy. Yes the bar was set too high with American Idiot, but I also think a lot of fans, especially the ones who got into Green Day because of that album, raised that bar even higher by putting that album in some sort of pedestal. Since my earlier post was drowned out by the annoying as fuck spamming I'll post it again. Does anyone have any similar worries/views/reservations about the 3 albums? 1. I don't think that this a cleaning out the closet sort of thing. sure maybe they could have some songs that were written a while ago in there (Like Good Riddance was in Nimrod, but was written around the Dookie era... and then who doesn't love Good riddance?), but I think this album will mostly include new material. As it's been said, they've stated that they feel at the most prolific and creative moment of their career or something like that. 2. That I'm worried about as well. I really hope each album has enough songs in it to be considered an album on its own right (I would be satisfied with at least ten songs per album, but I-d love to have around 13 on each of these). 3. I hope we get the track list and art work of it soon-ish, we're all dying for some news. But I truely hope they dont' release the lyrics of the songs months ahead of the album, like they did with 21stCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie, get your gun Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Since my earlier post was drowned out by the annoying as fuck spamming I'll post it again. Does anyone have any similar worries/views/reservations about the 3 albums? Billie said in one of the vids that is like a story going on through the albums, which not necessarily means "rock opera" but with the titles we know so far I found it hard to see some connection between them. So I think it's not a clea-out-the-closet case. But I also thought about the possibility that: neither ALL the songs we've heard from the live shows are in the albums or they plotted a completely different tracklists for this trilogy. Also, the less a Green Day albums contains is 12 songs. I believe they won't disappoint us with the number this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really seem to be in something like their most creative time as a band. And I think that's what you can see when you watch the studio updates as well. Not only creative, but they're freakin' having fun! I didn't even think about the possibility that they're "cleaning out the closet". They seem to have enough new, amazing stuff.. and I have trust in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyDirnt Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I don't think they're cleaning up their closet,because then the songs would sound veru different between each other,since that would be a mix of unreleased material from every era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
