Guest Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Just a few more minutes and I can leave school to buy Tre at the mall just around the corner of my house. I hope to god my bike won't get jacked during the process of buying the album. I hate how I'm in the dangerous part of San Jose. I'm soooo anxious to actually FULLY listen the album in depth. I've just been listening to the leak without a care to the songs but I do like Brutal Love and X-Kid aloooot so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Of Rage and Love Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Sorry If I am going to be repetitive, I'm just trying to get all my first impressions out in one post. Anyway, since I was waiting until the actual release to listen to ¡Tré!, I finally listened to it and holy shit this album is phenominal. This is the Green Day I love, don't get me wrong I love Uno and Dos, but Tre is amazing. Easily the best in the trilogy, this is the only album in the trilogy that didn't take multiple listens to love, It just grabbed me as soon as I began my listen. Brutal Love is a great opener, and Missing You had me wondering if the Tre was going to be like Uno and Dos where it took mulitple listens, 8th Avenue Seranade started and I was hooked. I had the same feeling with Dirty Rotten Bastards, I was worried that having another song like Homecoming or Jesus of Suburbia was going to feel forced, but it wasn't, it was amazing. 99 Revolutions made me feel the same way, and even though we've heard it before, it is even better in the context of the album. Tre really justifies the trilogy for people who were worried about all the filler on Uno and Dos. Tre really stands on its own and if the songs were mixed in with the others it would not be the same. It really fits with the "give me life", "party", and "redemption" thing the trilogy has. The album feels very self refective and really feels like the redemption after the party that Dos was. Being someone who got into Green Day during the AI/21CB era, this really feels like the Green Day I fell in love with. This really feels like it may be one of my favorite Green Day albums.

TheNimrod51 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Damn, I LOVE the lyrics to SD&V. I just looked in depth at them and they really are great. It seems like Billie almost thinks he got the easy way though life and kinda wishes he wasn't that kid who resorted to sex drugs and violence as a kid rather than learn English math and science and be more educated. He wasn't kidding about the reflective part of this album. Man do I love this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cob Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Holding Tre in my hand is surreal. These are the first Green Day albums that I've followed all the way through and it's been fucking great. I cannot thank the band enough for what they've given to us fans, 9 albums of incredible music and even more beyond that. It's a great time to be a Green Day fan. Can't wait for Quatro.

The Snark Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'm listening to Tre! as I type, and it's definitely more like Uno! in the way that it's love at first listen. And it really is a first listen...all I've heard off of it was that snippet of The Forgotten on CSI: NY. It's like Warning 2 (electric boogaloo)!

Funny, Uno took a little warming up for me (I liked it at first but it didn't strike me like lightning), Dos I loved immediately and literally could not stop listening to it, which was more in line with my first "new Green Day album" experience of 21CB. Tre I also really liked right away, but I think because of the mood of it, I didn't quite 'crave' listening again right away. It is really good, though, just solid.

Heather. Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Wow does that mean Sam Cooke's estate or someone gets royalties for Brutal Love? It kinda dampens my appreciation of the song to know it's so wildly 'stolen' (legally and intentionally)... not that I thought it was some brilliant original Green Day musical arrangement, but I liked the idea of them having total ownership over such a beautiful song. It kinda kills the beauty of it to say it's like half a cover, ya know? Also, my copy of Tre hasn't arrived yet even though I got an email that it had shipped several days ago. This concerns me because both Uno and Dos arrived on time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This concerns me because both Uno and Dos arrived on time.... As far as royalties, I couldn't tell you. But I think of it sort of like a tribute. Many of the trilogy songs pay homage to the early days of rock; to use pieces of another song actually from the era, to me, is just another way to show appreciation for it. It's kind of like The Clash's "English Civil War"; it's "When Johnny Comes Marching Home", but... different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefano Bras Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Did you notice that in the booklet and in the cd, it says "A Litlle Boy Named Train" instad of "Little Boy Named Train"? Pd: I dont like that in UNO the colors on the booklet are red and yellow, on DOS Green and Blue and on TRÉ It's red and Orange ._. Its a Little bit weird that TRE It's all Blue and yellow and suddenly BOOM red and orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unholy Sister of Grace Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Give it some time - that was my initial reaction too. Billie's songwriting has gotten a lot more abstract over the years (as often happens as artists age, I mean, take a look at what Springsteen is doing now as a point of comparison) and it takes more time to figure out what's going on in his head now. Til that happens, the songs hit as "well, meh, okay...." but when the light bulbs go off, look out -- turns out there's a lot of good shit in there. I noticed that as I get older (and I'm still not even twenty) I can understand his lyrics a little more. He has said that he writes from personal experiences or places he's been in his life, and so as I gain different experiences certain songs click. I love it when that happens - something happens that I've never dealt with before and then I think "Billie wrote something about this! Now I can relate!" Honestly, when I was but a wee girl of 13 listening to American Idiot, I couldn't really relate. But the stuff he'd written like in 1039/Smooth and Kerplunk, I totally got. It really helps with the whole "growing with the band." I. Love. This. Band. Aaaaaghh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather. Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 It's not so much spelling errors as grammatical and just clearly not the words that are being sung. It's almost as if Billie handed in his lyrics, and then went into the recording studio and sang almost the same thing but didn't care if it was exact, and no one bothered to check if the lyrics changed.

Femme Gauche Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I've always kind of enjoyed the way he seems to make on-the-fly lyrical changes from the written lyrics. Though it definitely is troublesome if one wishes to exactly reproduce his performance . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song is a homage to a legend of music Sam Cooke.There's nothing wrong about it.I love Sam Cooke and is another reason to appreciate even more the song.As regards to the rights of the song I don't know what happened but it makes sense to put his name since it is the basic inspiration for the song.Anyway Brutal Love is awesome.

And I love Sam Cooke, I'm so glad they did it, but.... this is more me wishing Green Day had that kind of original inspiration on their own. But there's nothing new under the sun anymore, and they definitely have their own sound. I just sort of wish they were capable of stretching that "own sound" more into Cooke territory without quite so much melodic copying. I'll get over it though, it's all glorious.

tvrman Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 It's funny that 3 months ago, 99 Revolutions was one of THE songs of the trilogy, and now that everybody have it in studio version, none give a fuck xD Nah, 99 Revs is still a great track and others have written so, also check peoples track ratings. It is just that in the GD world it is now old hat, we have newer things to discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
