    Green Day's third disc in three months lets their tightly wound hooks decompress, delivering stadium-worthy three-chord nods to various ghosts of rock past, from Otis Redding to Baba O'Riley.

    The final album in the set is the best of the bunch, [8 Dec 2012, p.50]

    The music may be just as strong, tight, and impeccable--this is a band that's been going at it for more than a quarter of a century, after all--but there's a lightness missing here, a lack of passion.

    It's got some pretty good songs--but they never get better than pretty good.

  1. Following the nice Uno! and the fantastic Dos! is no easy feat for any album, and it's a task that not many albums would be up to, but in this case, Dos! is trumped in style by the third album in Green Day's trilogy - Tre! Tre! is considered the after party in the series and follows a calmer, more reflective mood, reminiscent of Warning and parts of American Idiot. The album contains some of the best tracks in the trilogy, including Brutal Love, X-Kid, Dirty Rotten Bastards, 99 Revolutions and The Forgotten, all of which become infectiously addictive. Don't believe what the critics say, this is Green Day's best album since American Idiot and is up there with the best of Green Day's work, an easy 10/10 and a perfect way to round off a wonderful trilogy of albums.

    Watch out for: Brutal Love, X-Kid, Dirty Rotten Bastards, 99 Revolutions, The Forgotten

  2. this album truly caps off a wonderful trilogy. theres no question green day has truly made an im pact on punk rock, and this clearly shown. the amount of songs they wrote in such a short time is phenomenal. Expand
  3. As you seen, it's the worst idea a group of musicians can have to make 3 album ins 6 months. Uno was a 5/10, Dos a 4/10 and Tre is a little bit better and gets a 5/10. '8th Avenue Serenade' and 'Drama Queen' are pretty nice and those two made me hope for something better than the two CDs before. After all, Tre! consists out ouf 12 songs without sense in their lyrics, that all sound the same. The same simple guitar riffs and the same stupid drum rhythm. Billie Joe Armstrong does some decent voice experiments that work and some lyrics like "Did you win or maybe did you lose? Now you're going to lick your wounds anyway" in Walk Away make you listen closer to the elswhere dull songs. So Tre! is a tiny step better than both other albums of the trilogy, but that doesn't really matter because it's also a disapointing release from a very talented band. Expand
  4. Truly underwhelming. Three albums in three months got us the same old same old from the band. Truly nothing original, thought provoking, energetic, or memorable from Tre! (or the collection as a whole to be quite honest). I don't think the band should pack up their two decade bag or anything, but maybe next time spend some time trying to craft a great album instead of three truly forgettable albums. Expand
