Uno! (Audio CD)

Customer Review

So now it's out there - the next album of the Californian music gods. ¡UNO! marks the start of an album trilogy, which in January 2012 with ¡TRE! will be completed. And what does it teach us?
While the men around frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is now around 40, but rock is still as good as Dookie times!

Of course, to the epic "American Idiot" and the mentioned "Dookie" sufficient ¡UNO! not quite. But this can not be the claim. Only very, very few bands are able to write as many albums of the same quality. Even two albums are a rarity - the Green Day have already done.

¡UNO! confident yet at full line. It's just fun to hear this album. The album can be true with any of the fully compare earlier, however, is more representative of the "old" Green Day (Dookie, Insomniac, Nimrod., Warning :) zuzordnen as the "new" (American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown). Certainly there are many fans who find disappointing, as they have with the latter albums found at the band's. At such a fan I also belong; American Idiot was to discover with me the trigger, Green Day as the best band of all time.
However, it can also in the "change" from the "new" Green Day on the "more recent Green Day, but the part of the 'old' Green Day reminds" notice: The Californian rockers still remain true to himself!

Already at the first sound of the first song you feel: "This is Green Day". And that's my opinion, what makes a really good band. Regardless of whether a "new" Like music, the true size of a tape shows exactly it. The best example is the new physicians album "too" - I like it good but not as good as its predecessor. However, you can hear out the handwriting of the protagonists in really every song. A bad example is the new Blink-182 album "neighborhoods". This panel would have the new Angels & Airwaves - CD can be published, after flashing it no longer sounds unfortunately.

In ¡UNO! Now comes even more to the fact that the music really knows to convince at any point. Already at the beginning it will be completely flashed with three of the best songs - the rocking "Nuclear Family", which knows how to convince with fat guitar sound and a cool bass lines, the ingenious "Stay the Night", and my secret Favourit "Carpe Diem "on the one hand cause passes to Mitrocken, but also food for thought. However, this is by no means meant that the other songs would fall quality technically. With "Fell for You" prove Green Day (and probably mainly songwriter Billie Joe), they can still be a genius and never boring piece of music transform even such ausgelutschte topics. "Troublemaker" impresses with its specialty and otherness. By 2:45 it was the perfect length, so as not to overburden the earwig causing reef. "Rusty James", my second contender for the best song on the album, reminiscent in part to "Scattered", which my Favourit on Nimrod. is. The chorus also never goes out of your head. With "Oh Love" the album has an outstanding degree. I must honestly admit that I after release of the single first a little skeptical whether ¡UNO! was, these fears were fortunately never. After repeated listening knew to please the piece; on the album, it blends perfectly into the overall concept and dismisses the listener with much anticipation on ¡DOS !.
Completing ¡UNO! by the snotty "Let Yourself Go", which but the last touch, the last finishing touch is missing. A typical Nimrod. song. Even "Blue Angel" recalls Green Days 1997 works, a more than solid song, which however does not particularly stands out on this great album. "Loss of Control" comes in the same division, however slight influences of Insomniac can not be denied. "Kill the DJ" in turn is something completely different - the funky animated song to sing along, and is probably the only experiment Greendays remain in this direction. Please it but white.
With "Sweet 16" are available on the LP only a single track, to which I have not found a real connection. For some reason it touched me very little. However, this is the only exception.

However, one thing that all these songs together - they have incredibly high catchy factor. The melodies are (as usual by Green Day) scary catchy and are a genius hardly be surpassed. Especially the chorus of "Fell for You" and "Rusty James" has it done to me; even of Sweet 16, which does not suit me since Friday I sum this already constantly in mind. We do not know for which song you should decide now, so many great tunes in the head spin around yet.

I especially like the elaborate guitar solos, which underline Billie Joe and Jason White's skills. Some very pleasing bass parts of Mike and "cool" Drums of Tre complete the songwriting technical masterpiece from skillfully. Also lyrically there is not anything to complain about. Although no longer have a lot of songs on the depth of the two predecessors, that's no concept album but also impossible. Many of the critics were a bit too spoiled the last few years. It was also objective of the band, rather to set the focus on fun - which is completely successful in this mosh pit-compatible songs.

All in all, I look with pleasure on the still forthcoming completion of the trilogy. If ¡UNO! was just the beginning of genius according Billie Joe, will we still expect a lot.
