¡UNO! Album


Sanity Loan

Recommended Posts

To answer your condescending question: I would. I have my reasons.

its not my cup of tea to judge people who don't want to listen to swears or something so my question was not ment to be condescending just to clear that. I just don't understand it why people wan't "censored" songs but this seems to be somehow an american phenomenon...

Ahh yeah they may work differently in Canada

In US Wal Mart will not sell any unedited music at all

Yeah Walmart is bogus as hell and I only buy music from there because there is literally no music shops in my city anymore.

Insofern ist "Uno" eher der ältere Cousin von "Dookie"
- Billie Joe

"Uno is rahter like the older cousing of Dookie"

who would actually buy a clean version by choice (maybee accidentally)? The Clean version of Kill the DJ is somehow ridiculous in my opinnion

but I'm curious too about the clean version (especially of songs like LYG) I'll maybee listen to it some day but i'm 100% sure that its not as good as the original :P

Well, I got the clean version free with my tickets, so why not? plus my little brother loves loss of control, and three year olds don't need to hear that many fucks

I won't be buying the clean version but I'd imagine one reason might be so you could play it if guests/familiy etc are over. You can hopefully convert anyone who hasn't really heard GD before, or at least you won't offend them by playing it.

like i said seems to be an american phenomenon because in my country or i think general in europe nobody would be offended yust because ther are some swears and they also play uncensored versions on the radio

and because i'm not american i probably will never understand this

I've been listening to the album since the leak which was a week ago(?) And after a week of listening thought i'd share some of my opinions on it (just coz i can!)

I FUCKIN' LOVE IT!

Seriously not one track on it i don't like, a few songs that i have liked and listened to a little more than others, Nuclear Family - Seriously i love it so fucking much god damn! I'm not 100% sure but it could b one of my all time favorite Green Day songs, but i need a bit more time before saying that for certain, but a fucking killer track!

Fell For You - I don't even know what it is about it, but holly Jesus fucking Christ, how awesome is this song? Amazing! Its kinda sweet and well just brilliant Pop Rock!!

I'm not gonna comment on any other songs individually because I'm having trouble picking ones to talk about and i don't wanna ride a goddamn essay because that would be fucking boring for everyone! Anyways i have to say Kill The DJ has grown soo soooo soooooooo much on me over the last week or 2 and when i 1st heard it i was like "oh well that'll be one to skip" its not that i hated it, i just couldn't dig it, but now I'm just loving it so that's good! I also have to say for me the weakest song on the album is "Oh Love" but its still in incredibly great song and i still love it and i don't skip it, i still love it!

Anyway truly amazing album definitely one of my top 5 Green Day albums but not sure where abouts with in that yet! Cannot wait for Dos and Tre and i hope they are just as good as Uno, hell i know they will be!

I love it, like a cross between Nimrod and Warning. However does anyone think Rusty James sounds a lot like Scattered?

Yup, and Fell for You sounds like Worry Rock, Walking Alone and Favorite Son and Troublemaker sounds like Prosthethic Head and All the Time.

Many Nimrod influenced songs here. You could probably find more if you look for them. (We all know the Carpe Diem-Suffocate similarity).

The thing is though that they are only small-ish influences. I think that the only more blatant one is Fell for You and Walking Alone (the beginning), but I think that's the only blatant one I've heard.

What parts sound like Worry Rock and Walking Alone? I hear the Favourite Son influence in "and I went down at the speed of sound." but I can't hear the others.

If anybody has a spare download of a Clean version, I'd appreciate it? Can't find it here in England and, even though I have my unedited version and love it, if I'm in the car with my mum she doesn't appreciate the swears, especially if my younger brother is with us.

Yeah in America after a preacher heard John Lennon's Working Class Hero on the radio with the fuck word and started the fcc which censors "unsavory language" that offends these so called religious nuts get their panties in a bunch easily

Also, Let Yourself Go is messed up cause when they censor fuck, it also censors the end of "shut the [] up" So all you hear is "Shut the [] uh []"

From 0.20 forwards it sounds like both of them, up until the Favorite Son similarity.

It actually was shorter than I thought. And it wasn't as blatant as I remembered (like 5 minutes ago when I listened to it). But I notice it at least.

It doesn't bother me at all, just a thing I noticed. (I know you didn't ask this :D)

And BTW, I think Fell for you is a kind of Love-song I like from Green Day. Not anything like LNoE-crap. Melodic, solemn, somber and a little cheesy. This is good :D.

And to my own (very) short take on the album after 10 listens or so.

For me UNO feels like a Nimrod-Warning baby. It takes the best parts of both, but leaves a little out there. Just like a baby; taking best sides of both, but the parents fucked up the kid in some parts :D.

Don't get me wrong though, I really like this and it is a fresher sound than 21st CB had.

I really like that most songs are straightforward for once with a few aberrations thrown in there e.g. Troublemaker and Kill the DJ. Troublemaker is one of my favorite songs ever from this band.

Angel Blue, Loss of Control and Let Yourself Go are songs that could be found on Insomniac, Nuclear Family and Rusty James could be on AI or 21st CB and the others on Warning and nimrod.

I really like that even though this was supposed to be the power-pop album it still has enough variety to make the album interesting and fresh.

I'd rate this in the same class as Warning and Nimrod, somewhere just above them I would imagine. It isn't in the AI, Insomniac class, but not far off either.

I got Uno! today at Best Buy. There was a guy standing there with a copy in his hand I acted like he was my best friend. We talked about GD for about twenty minutes. He's has tickets to the same concert. Small Green Day world. :)

@tvrman

Radiohead's B-sides are better than a lot of band's singles.

Including some Green Day singles. Listen to Palo Alto or Pearly.

So happy with the way this turned out!

Every song is great.

Only complain is the vocals are turned up a little too loud and are a little too effected. Not nearly as bad as 21stCB's production though. but I'd rather have the instruments more in-your-face for the "punkier" songs.
