Why do people hate Uno, Dos, or Tre?

I feel like the same comments are made about most of their later albums. And then when they release a new one, suddenly the previous one is better and the new one is trash. I think it just have to do with them doing something different that people didn't expect.

I love all three albums of the trilogy, but Dos was the one I was looking forward to the most. The idea of Green Day making a garage rock album made me very happy. I had heard Fuck Time, Lazy Bones, Makeout Party and Lady Cobra and figured the whole album was going to be in that style. It just doesn't live up to what was promised. See You Tonight serves no purpose whatsoever and doesn't go into Fuck Time well at all. I always thought that if they had opened the album with Fuck Time instead, with those pounding beats, it would have grabbed the listener by the balls. It just seems too confused to me. It's like they just through a bunch of random songs together and tried to make it an album. Plus, I really dislike Nightlife. Everytime I hear it I wonder how they could have heard that in the studio and been ok with it. Im all for trying new things, but that song just sucks. Also, Baby Eyes is one of my favorite Green Day songs of all time. Reminds me a lot of The Misfits.

Glad to see I'm not alone there :D

After the dos thread someone suggested to do an uno thread. So i did. I love all of the trilogy.

I honestly thought this was a joke thread but okay.

Because the songs all run together into a massive clusterfuck of "what fucking song am I even listening to?"

Because it's just not that good of an album? I know I'm gonna get shit for this, but I don't care: the trilogy was basically complete shit in my opinion. Out of 37 songs or whatever the fuck it is, there's only like 5 that are worth anything. The rest of it is either some of the worst shit GD can ever think of, filler, or just downright lame.

Because it's 40 minutes of the same song on repeat. I don't hate it by any stretch, but the first five songs are the only good one. Oh Love is passable in the context of the album, but in isolation it sucks. The first two songs on Uno are in the top 20 Green Day have ever done, but after that it's such a boring album it's difficult to get through. I've only heard Rusty James, Sweet 16 and Angel Blue once as a result. That's not a sign of a successful album.

And to save butthurt, you guys can have your own opinion of the trilogy, I don't care if you like it or not, but allow me to have my opinion. That is all. :)

BTW: The first two songs on Uno are the only ones on the record worth anything.

Because Carpe Diem. :P

JK; for me, it's because the order the songs are in makes it sound too same-y. Stay the Night should've had the live opening, Carpe Diem was recorded awfully, Kill the DJ had potential until the chorus started; I like Fell for You and Sweet 16, they remind me of 39/Smooth-era Green Day. Angel Blue and Rusty James are my favorites from the album. Pretty much everything else on it, for me, is just meh.

But... Rusty James :/

It's overrated IMO, to me it sounds like most of the other songs on the album, sorry. :P

Another problem I have with Uno (and the rest of the trilogy) is that if the songs aren't complete shit or downright lame, the songs all pretty much sound the same.

Disclaimer: I love UNO. :lol: I really do. One of my favourite Green Day albums.

I guess because of the trilogy as a whole. If they picked the best songs from each album and made one instead of 3, there would be so much less hate because instead of having to listen to a volume of work with maybe 1 great track on it, you'd be listening to much better material.

S'alright, just allow me to be your typical trilogy-hater. :lol:

because carpe diem is terrible lol

Don't forget "Kill the DJ"!

the only thing I dislike is that most of the songs have 2 minutes of lenght

That's probably the best thing about the trilogy, the torture doesn't last as long. :lol:

Minigun and I were discussing "Let Yourself Go" yesterday. I think it pretty much sums it up.

It's great to see the creative threads GDC comes up with. Personally, I feel Uno is a perfect GD album, and I can honestly say I loved every song on it the first time I listened to it, and I still do. It's definitely in my top 3 along with SDR and Dookie.
