¡DOS! Album

Recommended Posts

Well I've been reading a lot of reviews for the album and most of them are positive, whereas Uno was more positive-mixed. I prefer Uno, but it's good to see Dos getting so much love.

I think everyone who dislikes a majority of the songs on the album will dig them more when they see and hear it live

I'm a bit late to the party when it comes to me posting in here, but I think this album is brilliant. I love it's energy and vibe. Heck, It's pretty much the only thing I've been listening to since I brought it home on Friday night. I do find a bit of a Tubbies feel from listening to it, but it's still Green Day. Even if it's a slightly different approach in comparison to their previous releases.

I'd have to say, my personal favourites, in no particualr order, are Lazy Bones, Wild One, Stray Heart, Wow That's Loud and Fuck Time. I'm not terribly fond of Amy and Night Life, but they're growing on me.

Not at all. The reviews for Dos have been almost all meh.

Uno was received way better.

Sputnik Music are a bunch of idiots. I've never seen a positive review of a good album from them; all their 'staff' aren't professional enough to work at McDonalds and it's dribbling fanbase congregate more hate than Daily Mail readers. So it doesn't surprise me that they don't want to give a popular album a good rating. Anything more mainstream than Hardcore Norwegian Trance won't get more than a 2/5 with these guys. Needless to say they wouldn't know a good album if it shafted them with a six-foot vibrating guitar neck.

Ok, I'm trying really hard to find it again, but there was this freakin awesome ad on Youtube about DOS! and it started kinda like this

One Bike / Two Bike BETTER

One Woman / Tow Women BETTER

One Album / Two Albums

DOS! Out now!

It was so awesome, I've been reloading videos over and over just to try and see it again and record it so I can show you guys. If you guys find it, and record it, post it here! Thanks! And if you see it, tell me what you think :)

It's a little harder to find because it doesn't seem to be intended for the western market.

American Idiot is still their best album, but their are some good songs in UNO and DOS

Well I dont think they delibrately hate Green Day, the mayority are being honest. Warning and Insomniac are really appreciated in the site and its obvious why. We have to understand that their are going to be differing opinions about an album.

Well I typed green day in on Google, and I have yet to read a truly negative one. I'm not saying everyone likes it, but I believe the majority prefer Dos over Uno, because almost in every review, people are saying it's a step up from the first in the trilogy,

A shitty fact - The uncensored version is still not available in Argentina, you can only get the clean one so far...

Whereas Uno was love at first listen, it's going to take awhile for Dos to grow on me.

It's like a new GD/Foxies/Network cd all rolled up in one. First I listened to it all the way through, and then instead of playing it again, I kept repeatedly going back to a few songs. Lazybones sounds like it could be a B-side from Warning. I can also picture it being in the AI musical. Fuck Time is hilarious and I can't stop listening to it. Amy is gorgeous and makes me want to cry. I love the lines: 'May I have this last dance, By chance if we should meet?, Can you write me a lullaby?, So we can sing you to sleep'. Ugh...it kills me. And I'm going to be the odd-girl out, but I absolutely love Nightlife! It's so different and I love Lady Cobra's voice. It seems very Network-y to me.

How funny, ´cause I find Uno rather boring and meaningless.

Check out this article. Predicts Dos to sell about 65k to 70k copies. Which would be a low top 10 debut. Eeek.

with so much material at once you can't expect super high sales on all 3 albums, put together they will have sold quite a bit though. I doubt this is what they had in mind whilst making the trilogy.

You can't really judge album sales as an accurate sign of how well an album is doing. Loads of people are just going to download this, whether legally or not. People will share it with friends after that. Short of Adele's 21 there's no recent albums living up to the levels of 10-20 years ago.

In my opinion some of the songs kind of seem to have simplistic lyrics. I also think a lot of the songs on Dos are all the same but just with different words. But I think that's just me. :/

I like it a lot actually. I do think it drags on a bit, but the song is good so I don't mind much :D
