Just listened to this and it has a few decent tracks. They've stripped down their music back again and it's more punk/pop rock now. Few standout tracks like Let Yourself Go, Nuclear Family, Kill The DJ and Oh Love.

Not my favourite Rock album of the year, but a decent start in what will be a trilogy of albums.

I'll be getting it when it's out over here. Quite looking forward to it.

I'll give it a listen but I'm not holding out much hope for it.

Oh Love is AWFUL but this tops it as the worst track in Green Day history, Kill the DJ



I don't think I can take 2 more albums of this over the next few months.

I think it's ok, but a little too stripped down for my liking.

The next one is apparently the "garage rock" one, which hopefully is a lot better. I don't like what Billy Joe brings to the band now, he's changed it too much, similar to how Tom DeLonge made Blink182 all synthy and spacey, what was clear when they split and Mark Hoppus released the Plus 44 stuff.

EDIT:

You could dub Party Rock over this video and not notice any difference, what the hell has happened to Green Day?

Been listening to this for a few days now, I actually rather enjoy it. For the most part the tracks have an old school feel to them, and taken in context Oh Love is actually a really good album closer. A solid 8/10 from me. And believe me, aside from the two somewhat iffy singles, the rest of the album is a vast improvement.

He looks pretty good for 40.

Though he does have the hair and eyeliner of a teenage emo. Actually I can't tell if it is eyeliner or he's just really tired. Don't blame him tbh, he's been doing it for so long.

The last time they were good Kurt Cobain was still alive.

I liked American Idiot, which was a good change, and even 21st Century Breakdown was okay.

Dos! is out now. Think it's much better than the forgettable Uno!, but still nothing on the old stuff.

Uno was average, Dos was fairly decent, but Tre is atrocious. Worst album from the band by far.
