Jan 3, 2013It's got some pretty good songs--but they never get better than pretty good.
-
Dec 14, 2012The 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.
-
Dec 10, 2012This is Green Day doing what Green Day have always done.
-
Dec 5, 2012¡Tré! feels scattershot and slapped together, making it difficult to enjoy on its own merits.
-
Dec 11, 2012¡Tre! succeeds most as an exercise in influence-dropping and self-recycling, with a glimmer of inspiration here and there.
-
Jan 2, 2013A failed experiment then, all the more painful for the potential it showed.
-
Dec 11, 2012I wish I could close the book on ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! with a more favorable assessment than a resounding, Eh, it was ok.
-
Dec 10, 2012Too often, ¡Tré! falls back on a formula--fast, box-ticking choruses fashioned from chords you can count on the fingers of one hand--that Green Day have pretty much stretched to breaking point.
-
Dec 10, 2012It's a mixed bag that doesn't reach the lows of a forced, guest rap appearance, while containing some of the best songs the trilogy has to offer.
-
Dec 10, 2012On the whole, when not tedious or embarrassing, the remainder of Tre is simply not up to the task of proving why a third album in three months was necessary.
-
Feb 1, 2013Tre! is more whimper than bang.
-
Dec 21, 2012¡Tré! offers a few ballads, swelling string-laden anthems and even a six-minute medley à la American Idiot--styles that once represented a new aesthetic for the band but now sound forced and exhausted.
