¡UNO!

Green Day

  1. gives it a: 3/5

    This is the first album Green Day has released since 2000’s underrated Warning that isn’t a rock opera. On paper, that sounded great. The result is, at times, wonderfully catchy and youthful. At others, its almost embarrassingly “just ok”. There are two more albums in this trilogy coming down the wire. Pray they got the best tunes.

  2. gives it a: 2/5

    The only saving grace of this horrendously unthoughtful effort is that Green Day’s veteran status prevents them from making anything truly awful. The production is nice and Billie Joe sounds as good as ever—it’s just too bad that the sound of Green Day flippantly riding their success is indistinguishable from three privileged teenagers in a band assuming they embody the punk aesthetic by default.
