Not their best but sure a great way to enter the new decade - by returning to their power-pop roots (and of course being good at it).
Lyrics are not as good as they were on their previous releases but the album is just fun, catchy and as Mick Jones once said: "Stripped to the bone". No ****
And yeah...Sputnik Music seriously sucks.…Expand
Green Day have crafted one of the worst albums ever just because they're Green Day. I'm not going to make an argument that can be backed upGreen Day have crafted one of the worst albums ever just because they're Green Day. I'm not going to make an argument that can be backed up with evidence and that's why its bad. Musicians playing music that has structure and requires the band playing instruments themselves and writing their own music is a bad thing. Dubstep and indie music are the best in this day and age considering making music is irrelevant now. Stop listening to this and listen to Death Cab For Cutie and Skrillex. Oh by the way, if you can't tell, this is sarcasm and this album rules! Dubstep, Death Cab For Cutie, & Skrillex Suck!…Expand

Other than that a really fun, energetic album to listen to.…Expand

¡UNO! by Green Day is the first installment of a three part album released in 2012. From what I heard when I listened to its fittingly-named first part, I am really excited for the next two. This is because ¡UNO! is chock full of amazing tracks, with lots of quality rock songs. I had a great time listening to this album. My only problem with it is how Green Day needlessly indulged in profane language in a couple of their songs. Those two tracks, Let Yourself Go and Kill the DJ, threw around the F-word so many times it made me dizzy. I don’t mind it when bands use strong language, as long as it’s used sparingly and if the singer feels passionately about something, both of which were not met in these songs. Besides that, it was pretty much all awesomeness from Green Day, and I look forward to hearing their other songs released in this triple-album. Highlights: Nuclear Family, Stay the Night, Fell For You, Loss of Control, Troublemaker, Angel Blue, Rusty James, and Oh Love.…Expand

Sure, Green Day's not the pop-punk, 90-second song-slinging machines they used to be, nor, apparently, are they any longer performers of epic rock operas...Uno seems to be a combination of the two and yet something completely different.
Very quick songs a la Dookie are here, but it's still not the fast paced punk Green Day started with. The themes are centered around love, sexy times, and the like, and the sound is sort of American Idiot-era generica. Simple guitar riffs and drum beats, mixed with the less poetic side of Billie Joe's writing make for a less artistic, but no less fun, Green Day album.
If this is the direction Green Day is headed in now I won't stop buying albums...but they may need to make room on my favorite bands list.…Expand

Because Uno! brings nothing more than some nice, but not rememberable guitar solos and approx. 643 uses of the F-word. The opener "Nuclear Family" is one nice song but the rest is some boring pop punk stuff. Everything's very similar, it seems like they didn't spend much time in any of the songs. Not bad, but just not good, sadly. Green Day can do way better than that, but I for my share think, that their time is over.…Expand
