Had my first experience of this in the "real world" today on the radio. They were announcing the prizes/competitions they were running next week, and they're giving away a copy of iUno! every day! :) The DJs on that show are pretty cool and have good taste in music, and they sounded pretty excited about it.

The most fun thing was though, that as well as the CD, they were sent an official bottle of Green Day iUno! hot sauce to go with it... :wacko:

For the Irish reading this, it was Dermot and Dave on 98fm

Got the album (CD) this morning and i love it! There is not a song i don't like. I danced right through. I'm so glad i didn't listen to a stream or leak. Kick-ass album!!!

I got mine from JB HI FI and they also had packs that came with a t-shirt. I didn't get it though cause they didn't have any mediums...

I was there an hour after the store opened and it was not even on the shelves yet. I had to ask at the counter and they showed me the packs that was in the boxes. They only came in a size small...dumb. But it was a good deal, $40 for the CD and shirt.

I walked in right after the store opened, I had awesome timing. But didn't see any shirts cause I didn't look

NME never reviews Green Day well. Seems as if they make a point to continue doing so.

Uh, what? They gave 21st CB a 8/10..

So yeah, I already have my iUno! Vinyl! Just got it today, it's pretty fucking great in my opinion!

Billie Joe on the front Cover, Theo Stockman (according to the lyric sheet, but I concur if you state it looks more like Billie! Actually we figuerd out Stockman took the Photo, it shows Billie of course!)) from the AI Musical on the back cover, sporting Halloween makeup. Lyric sheet with pictures of the Band is included. Vinyl itself is black, side one is calles uno, side two dos.

Interesting Fact: Jason White now is the 4th Member. Hes on the pictures, hes mendioned as guitar player. The guitar world interview quotes Billie saying that Jasons gonna be on Cuatro. Soundwise, Billie says the rythm guitar in the left speaker is him, the one in the right Jason. And you hear that, Billie play just so much more percussive.

Soundwise the album features guitars that are barely distorted but still powerful. I like how that sound gives Mike Dirnt more room. Trés drums are as powerful as ever, and the cymbals sound more natural than on 21st Century Breakdown, great move there!

As there are so many reviews for the single Songs, I won't go over that again. Nuclear Family, Loss of Control, Angel Blue and Rusty James are my favorites for now, that's all I'll say.

Pictures? There!: (How do I put these in a Spoiler?)

When People said it was a throwback to their old stuff I thought yeah right...but this album screams Warning/Nimrod with a hint of Kerplunk and Dookie.

Please tell me I'm not the only one. People say it about babies, oh look he/she looks exactly like *family member* and I don't see it at all. People say this song/album sounds like Dookie, Nimrod, Kerplunk etc, and I don't hear it at all! I just think it sounds like Green Day and whatever album it's on.

It's more to do with the old school solos which are all over this record and we haven't really seen since Kerplunk.

The attitude reminds me of Nimrod and the Guitars are clean sounding (probably through a Vox amp?) which they only really did on Warning.

I know that Uno doesn't have a "theme", but I have noticed something about the album. Every song is either about being in love, or being angry at someone. Nuclear Family and Carpe Diem are the only exceptions.

Stay the night - love song

Let Yourself Go - hate song

Kill the DJ - hate song

Fell for you - love song

Loss of control - hate song

Trouble maker - love song

angel blue - love song

sweet 16 - love song

Rusty james - hate song

oh love - love song

so half the album is love songs, with four hate songs and two ambiguous ones.

That's Billie on the back, not Theo. Adrienne took that pic and it was on her twitter after the Halloween show in New York last year.

OMFG. If your gonna hate, dont rate. (lol it rhymes) Nobody wants to hear how you hate kill the dj. I for one like that song and i dont want to hear other people complain about it. This is supposed to be a positive thread, not a "ive been a green day fan for more years than you, so I know what the fuck im talking about.". Sorry if i'm being dickish, but im in the emergency room and not happy. if you want to bash green day, go get a job at NME. All I really care about now is ¡Quatro!.

I think so to, but thats what the lyric sheet says.

Its " Cover Photo: Billie Joe Armstrong. Back Cover Photo: Theo "Firecracker" Stockman. This Album is dedicated to Family, Friends, Fans & Punishers. "

But maybe that refers to who took the photo, not who's in the photo? I don't know but it sure as hell looks like Billie
