Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I agree with Tre that time will likely be kind to the trilogy and that maybe in 10 years people won't see it so negatively. I personally love all but maybe one or two tracks that I'm not so keen on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakke Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I personally think Tré! deserves redemption. It has the least filler (only Drama Queen, A Little Boy Named Train and Sex, Drugs and Violence) and has some pretty awesome and epic songs (Brutal Love, Walk Away, DRB). Dos!, however, is just a lyrical trainwreck globally. Yes, Lazy Bones and Stop When the Red Lights Flash are good, but the quality of some tracks is only a reflection of Billie derailing (Nightlife, Lady Cobra). Uno! has some catchy tracks (Nuclear Family, Stay the Night, Let Yourself Go), but in the end the lyrics are random and the record just incoherent (What the fuck is Nuclear Family even about?), whilst some songs are flatout cheesy, cringy and cliché (Troublemaker, Sweet 16, Oh Love). The band just tried to hard to channel their inner 16 year-old selves to appeal to a new generation in the spirit of the Clash's Sandinista and it bombed. It was their musical nadir and one they've drawn lessons from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Seagull Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 To each their own I guess, but it's one of my favorite songs. That Mike part in the middle is so awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insomniac186 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Like I said in another thread, I thought Tre had the strongest songs on it out of the Trilogy. Many of those songs hit you right in the feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudley dawson Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm probably in the minority here, but i think the trilogy is better than RevRad. I like RevRad, but honestly it is probably their weakest album to date. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uno. It was the first and I fell in love with it. I keep repeating this, but Uno doesn't have one bad song, it's perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Kill The Dj came out before the album dropped and I was jamming the fuck out to it! It was shockingly different but grooved like crazy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trilogy has so many great songs, and feels so honest. I also like all the risks and experimentations Green Day took on those albuns.

Why in the eff wouldn't a Green Day fan be over the moon for these records is beyond me. I love the fun Green Day / Foxboro Hot Tubs kind of songs that were very present on Dos especially but really all throughout the records. I like the honestly of the lyrics and showcasing ideas of fun & love. Not everything has to be a massive political statement. A lot of us are miserable in our day to day lives. Fun is a good thing for us. The songs are fun & different enough to be exciting & the lyrics seem honest & real in so many of the songs. The same people complaining about the cartoony caricature writing of American Idiot & 21CB also seem to be dumping on the trilogy. The trilogy has some of the most honest & raw writing I've seen in years of Green Day records. Sometimes a grown man has a hangover or a crush or a thought about a missing friend or all kinds of crazy stuff! I'm so happy Billie Joe wrote honestly as the character of himself & how he might feel lazy or nostalgic or what-have-you. It happens. And sometimes an artist will write something funny, lazy, epic, spontaneous & strange. I like how the trilogy gives a fan the best of what makes Green Day Green Day plus a whole lot more. Growing up with Green Day has been a blast and the trilogy was a great gift for me. Uno, Dos, Tre was a very ambitious project & am super grateful they did it. I hope they'll play a lot more songs from those albums live. Seems to be missing from the current set lists. Please for the love of all that is good bring back some trilogy songs to the set lists and realize these songs are appreciated & fans would love to hear them again! Thank you for resuming what I think about the trilogy, great post. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platypus2000 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I revisited the trilogy after so fucking long and actually really enjoyed it. No one is claiming them to be great albums but they are quintessential Green Day. Especially Uno. If they had put out Uno by itself and marketed it properly people would've been all over it.

If they'd changed that I might have liked it a lot more than I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcalgreendayfan Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 The trilogy was ok few good songs here and there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For Colin Never Will Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 There's a lot of good stuff on the Trilogy, but three albums was overkill. There are probably four or five songs on each album I go back to regularly, but also a lot I never listen to which I can't say of other GD albums. Like many others, I have my "ideal album", a playlist of about 16 songs from all three. Honestly I feel double/triple albums just don't work, I can't think of any where every song is essential.

The Clash got close with Sandinista, but even 28 songs are overkill. 12 to 14 songs remains the sweet spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Sour's HOGAB part 1 and 2 is a good shout. The 2nd part took absolutley fucking ages to grow on me but if you really sit down and listen to it as a whole every song is a part of the bigger picture.

Not a big fan of Stray Heart to be honest but X-kid and 8th Ave. are tunes in their own right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Seagull Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Am I the only one who thinks The Devil's Kind sounds like a Trilogy song. I think it would fit really good on ¡Dos! It sounds so similar to Stray Heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you are referring to the bouncy rhythm of the main riff that reminds you of stray heart. it kind of reminds me more of castaway, in the sense that it has that same bouncy rhythm, but his vocal melody feels more 90s (like castaway does) than 50s (stray heart) imo, but i totally agree it could easily fit on the trilogy.
