¡UNO! Album


Sanity Loan

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure how the Recording Academy is going to treat the releases (as one album vs. as three separate albums). For the purposes of Green Day's contract, they and WMG agreed to treat the entire three-album series as a single "album" unit, but I suspect that won't be dispositive as far as the Grammys and other awards go.

This is a great question. One would have to think that the RIAA would recognize each part of the trilogy as its own separate entity, at least in terms of sales. If - and this is strictly for the sake of argument - ¡TRE! bombs but the other two sell, let's say, 3 million apiece...wouldn't it be wrong to certify all three as 6x platinum?

From this Billboard article http://www.greendaya...articles/163/5/

UNO will be eligible for the 2013 Grammy awards. DOS and TRE will be eligibe for the 2014 Grammys.

It'll be treated as 3 different albums

so GD can win more prices with '3 different albums' instead of counting them as '1 album' :D

Fuck, so much of this album is just so good. I was not at all expecting this. I've even grown to like Oh Love because of how well it works after Rusty James.

Not everyone :) Try Googling it though- there are sites carrying the leak. Just don't ask anybody to post it here!

I think Green Day and Warner agreed to treat it as 1 release for contract purposes only. Green Day might only have say 3 albums left on their current contract with Warner and my guess is Warner didnt want the band to be out of contract by treating this as 3 albums. As far as everyone outside of the contract is concerned it is 3 different albums. Well that's the way I see it any way.

Even in those studio videos they released they called them albums 9, 10 and 11.

I'm kind of happy the single choices were dull, that way I was completely blown to bits by the leak (and would have been by the release). I haven't stopped listening to the album at all since yesterday, the only thing I'm not exited for is the stupid slow motion count down at the end of Nuclear Family, that's just dragging the song out.

I might be imagining it, but I think the SoundCloud stream on their facebook is better quality than the leaked MP3s.

I think considering one by one reduces the chances as i think the trilogy together is a guaranteed Grammy, but let's see i think Uno! alone is better than 21stCB and it won Best Rock Album

it got leaked.

I love that part of Loss of Control where it says "Hey isn´t that old "Whatshisface" that I see walking down on street, I´m gonna hide in the shadows cause I really got nothing to say, we never had anything in commun and I never liked you anyway"

I wasn't sure to listen the whole album before, but I come from the erased show in Italy and I cannot resist, it was a sort of consolation. I think the album is good : I really love Sweet 16 and Rusty James <3

Can't wait to listen! Sweet 16 will be amazing!!

I'm still trying to absorb the album before I come to final judgement on it (but I love the hell out of it so far). Rusty James is engrossing even if I have the compulsion to sing "leavin' myself open wide..." through most of it

Been listening to iUno! a lot. Troublemaker has grown on me. I don't know why but I can see that song being in the credits for The Spongebob Squarepants movie. And Loss of Control sounds like a Underclass Hero B-Side.(Still one of my favs though)

At first listen, I was least impressed with Angel Blue, but now I really fucking love it. Ahh, this album.

I've seen folks here say GD has a 1 album contract but my sources at the label say not true they dont have a album by album but they re signed to a certain amount after 21st came out

As far as RIAA and sales unless Uno Dos Tre all have the same exact bar code (which i exetremely doubt) then each album will be counted seperately
