Sarcasm Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Who else thinks that Billie keeps writing about his break-up with Amanda because it was his only proper, complete relationship? As in, his relationship with Adrienne is continuous, but this experience had a beginning, middle and an end, and all the feelings that came with it. I mean 90% of his songs he quite obviously owes to Adie, but there are more than a few songs with reference to her, like in Sweet Sixteen. If he writes to make teenagers feel like they're not fucked up because he himself have had this feelings, a long and happy marriage just seems inappropriate and boring to write about ._.

21stcenturyidiot Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Haven't listened to the leak. Waiting until Saturday night when I buy my copy. Can't wait, haven't been this excited for an album since the last Muse record. Good to hear most people are impressed with it. I've only heard Oh Love, KTDJ and LYG, so most of it will be completely new to me. Agree with you except for the Muse comment I've heard Oh Love, DJ, Carpe Diem, Nuclear Family and LYG so the rest will be new. Luckily my flat mates won't let me download the leak, so I gotta wait it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*withoutadoubt* Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I have lots of thoughts on this album, but for now I will just say that the whole thing is AMAZING and so much better than I was expecting. So many great songs, but for now, "Let Yourself Go" is my favorite - it has that thing that just speaks to me, all of its energy and passion. OMG, I LOVE THAT SONG!!!

Irrlicht Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 He turned 40 in February. Surprised that your hero is more than twice your age? I had Uno on repeat on my pc all night, I tweaked my audio to a cool EQ and thought I would dream a glorious GD dream. I didn't, but it was cool waking up to the music x) I know this. I was just shocked by your calculation: They met when he was like 20, in 1989 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trina Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Sweet 16 is the most sincere and beautiful love song I have ever heard in my life. It's just so true, it's breathtaking. And the music is so gorgeous, the first note I hear makes my stomach flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyDirnt Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 The tracks I dig the least now are Troublemaker and Loss of Control. I hope they grow on me so I can dig all the album. Also it looks like I'm kinda tired of hearing the singles so I'm not listening to them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 After a few listens i think Stay The Night has become one of my favourite Green Day songs, such a great song. Am i the only one who thinks the second verse reminds them of "i dont want to know if you're lonely" by Husker Du, i keep finding myself singing those lyrics on that verse :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscar is a nimrod Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Here is a short review I made for general people on facebook, hope you enjoy: Ok. Calmed down a bit now. Yes Uno! is great. By no means an all time classic or anything, just a good solid album that does what it sets out to do and a little a bit more and whats better is there is two more to come! There is definitely a 60's pop rock feeling to UNO but the next album in about a month is a classic rock and roll vibe that will most likely switch things up even more. It is by no means punk but the echos of the angst of old from he old days are still reverberating through the songs they play. "Stay the night" is the best song on the album delivering great vocal hooks and a powerful chorus with a Celtic tone Whereas Troublemaker feels very reminiscent of songs from 2000 album Warning but then transforms into an exciting liquid solo at the end that is unlike anything that Green Day has done before. "Sweet 16", a song in the latter half of the album takes you into real unapologetic pop rock and features Billie Joe adopting a softer higher pitch while looking back on life and how far he and he band has come over the years "Bring me back, To an hour ago, Time stands still, As the years go by", BJ then goes on to reminisce about sleeping on cardboard at friends houses and admiring girls and similar teenage baggage that will tug at the heartstrings of hardcore GD fans (especially me who welled up a bit when listening to it for the first time). The album has only a few downfalls that stand out such as the final track "Oh love" which just doesn't seem to quite fit in alongside the other songs and is arguably much too long however still delivers a solid chorus as the song builds to an epic finale that just does not seem to sit comfortably with the rest of the fun laid back power pop on the record. Despite the average ending Uno delivers kicks and punches in a lot of good places and is overall a very solid album and is well worth listen for most mainsteam listeners and music fanatics alike. I think it is definitely worth a 4/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
