I wouldn't say it's one of their best records but there are some really cool songs on Uno, Dos and Tre. I don't understand why many people hate it. Yeah, one can disagree and dislike it, but HATE is too much. This. I do not think it was their best music ever. There is no doubt about that. I just don't understand the hate that comes everyday since 2012 about it and the "cool" crowd shat on everyone and made them feel uncomfortable for liking it. Very uncalled for a forum that should feel comfortable talking about Green Day. I mean their is shittier records out there in life that the very same people love. Every song on the trilogy still beats what Blink 182 has done since like forever, MCR, Biffy Shitro, Panic At The Disco, and so on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddie86 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 so here's my deal... I got into green day back in 96. I loved all their early stuff and i followed the band super close after nimrod came out. I liked warning when it came out. when american idiot came out, i wasn't into it, i kinda hated it. I've grown to like it though. I liked 21st century breakdown when it came out, but now i've grown to think it's mediocre. I was pretty excited when the trilogy came out, especially when i heard songs like stay the night, let yourself go, and nuclear family, which were reminiscent of classic Green Day. yes, the production sucks, and 75% of the songs have mediocre to awful lyrics, but I find that I listen to Uno and Dos more than AI and 21st. Insomniac, nimrod, and Kerplunk will always be my favorites, but even though the trilogy was hit or miss, it's what got me following green day closely again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwise Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I fucking love the trilogy. I think it's got some of Green Day's best songs, full stop. I'm also very scared we won't hear many (or any) trilogy songs live again due to its poor reception. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwise Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I think the lyrics are fun! Billie's vocals are as passionate as ever, although I can see why the vocal filter irritates some. As for drums and bass guitar, I think this is the best since at least Warning, maybe even Nimrod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin1 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 All I know is the Trilogy came out 4 years ago, and I still listen to it all the time. Not every day, but at least a couple times a week. I don't remember having that much love for any other Green Day album/era. I think it's just the headspace that Billie was in at the time is SO apparent in the music, and it's just really refreshing and honest. I guess all of that, combined with the fact they already had so much much success prior to the trilogy, and with the musical, made me just love it! They could have easily started to unwind and enjoy the fruits of their labor, but instead, not only decided to keep going strong, but 3 fold! I really don't think it's possible that Green Day could have pulled this off without Billie going mad, which he did.. And I'm really excited to see what the new albums will sound like going forward. I know as individual albums, none of them are my favorites, but looking at all 3 together, and the idea, this might be my favourite project/era for sure. I just can't see how it can be topped, especially for a hardcore Green Day fan. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siddharth_471 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Let me end this topic! Maybe Trilogy is not the best ever but a more classic rock direction was a good step after AI and 21stCB and I even expect them further to have the new album more back to roots music in it. Those saying they should have put out only a single album are actually wrong. Trilogy was the best chance for them to make creative music and explore out more as musicians and if they'd have selected only few tracks which seems suitable, then the album would have turned out into nothing! So they definitely took right step to release it in three parts. Though there are many reasons why it didn't went much well: 1. This point has already been made before and I also felt it right. For making three differently styled albums, they should have selected three different studios for musical effects in the respective albums. Uno! should have been recorded in a more Dookie/Insomniac vibe into it with more downtunings and distortion. Dos! was done right, similar to Garage music with some retro elements and for Tre! production was the most important thing. It would have done very well if produced a bit more, similar to AI and 21stCB like "stadium punk". 2. Even during live performances around Trilogy, many classic songs like Welcome To Paradise and Basket Case were done somewhat in standard tunings which totally decreased the quality of those songs (like how it was done live in Irwing plaza). So, I'd say if standard tunings were avoided during recording of trilogy, then it would have been a complete different thing (in a way better way). Otherwise, drums and bass were good throughout. 3. It's well and good if you like the Trilogy lyrically but out of all the 11 albums, Dos! and Uno! are my least favourite lyrics and same with some of the songs from Tre!. Ok, I didn't expect Jesus Of Suburbia MK-II but it could have been written much more meaningfully. Other than these, not much promoting of the albums, less no. of singles/videos were also the factors. Rest, I do appreciate the trilogy era and it's ultimately coming to an end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Seagull Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Uno was probably the only album where on first listen I thought there were no bad songs on there. I still think so, it's an awesome album and I love it. It's in my top 4 GD albums for sure. I like how they went back to their roots and started writing fun songs that we didn't get since after Warning. AI and 21CB were just horrible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe. Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 There's some great songs on all three albums, but some serious filler on all three. Imagine a single album with 15-18 tracks, could've been really really good The trilogy isn't as bad as some make out, but not as fantastic as others claim, for me it's borderline mediocre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it means production can be more focused and then you ditch a load of the ones that are true horse shit. The problem is any more than 24 tracks is too much IMO and so the trilogy seems OTT as well as rather mediocre in parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all great so your argument is invalid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
