Tre review from thecelebrityreview.com
Green Day is finishing up their recent trilogy of releases with Tre! set to release on December 11. It may be my personal opinion, but I feel this is the worst album of the trilogy.Uno! was okay, a little pop, but had its moments, Dos! I was a big fan of, definitely the best of the three, it set up a lot of anticipation for me to hear what Tre! had to offer and it simply fell short of expectations.
Listening through this album, it has the same vibe that a good portion of Uno!offered. Just some bland rock songs, nothing too standout. The only real standouts on the album include a piano ballad in “The Forgotten” which was released as the single way back to November 11. It’s something different from the band but it just doesn’t really hook me when I hear it.
The bright spot of this album has to fall onto the track “Dirty Rotten Bastards.” This song is an awesome gritty rock-along song. It may not be too deep but it’s enjoyable, and very high energy. In a bland album, this track stands out. It’s fun to listen to, and offers some solid solos from Billie Joe Armstrong and Mike Dirnt.
Other notable decent tracks may be found in “X-Kid” and “Sex, Drugs & Violence,” but even those aren’t too standout.
I can’t say much more about the album, I’m a little let down. Not to take anything away from Green Day, they can really do whatever they want this far down the road of stardom and still sell. Tre! is the band's 11th studio album, and Green Day has such a wide variety of a fan base that this album will find a home in many a fan’s hearts, just not this one.
I say give it a listen regardless. Green Day is Green Day, you know what you’re getting most of the time. You may find interest in it, but I’d say really the only song you might need to hear off the album is “Dirty Rotten Bastards.” I still highly recommend Dos!, and Uno! is worth a listen. To come out with so much music in such a short span of time, it has to fall into weaker space at some point. However, it seems like Green Day’s never done, and I’m glad, and I look forward to what they eventually come out with next, but with personal troubles of members, it may not be for a while. I love Green Day, I don’t love Tre!.
Green Day – “Dirty Rotten Bastards”:
TRE! Album review by HitFix blog
After releasing two albums of raw and ready rock since September, the party’s over, or at least on its last legs, on “Tre!,” the third in Greenday’s trilogy, out today.
The exhilaration on " Uno, " released in September, and "Dos!,” out last month, has been replaced with a certain weariness, but the dozen tunes here still have plenty of bite. Performed at a much slower, less hyper speed than the songs on the first two sets, “Tre!” provides some food for thought for those who have stayed too long too often, while also serving an an excellent showcase for Billie Joe Arnstrong’s often plaintive vocals.
Opening with country-tinged waltz “Brutal Love,” most of the songs on “Tre!” come with a tinge of regret whether it’s over a lost love on the horn-laced “Missing You” or a lost childhood (at any age) on the pulsing “X-Kid.”
The band’s familiar quick-tempo-ed bounce returns on the power poppy “Sex, Drugs and Violence,” which is doubly likable for the line: “Well, I don’t want to be an imbecile, but Jesus made me that way.”
The most interesting cut is the six-minute “Dirty Rotten Bastards,” which is about four songs in one. The tune, which would have sounded right at home on “21st Century Breakdown,” opens with a sing-songy militant bounce before progressing to some serious guitar shredding bolstered by Tre Cool’s relentless drumming, then shifting into a melodic mid-tempo lament to “all God’s losers,” before majestically bending into a slower section.
The album closes with a piano ballad, “The Forgotten,” which sounds like Green Day crossed with Oasis, and will be familiar with "Twight" fans for its inclusion on the soundtrack for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2." Green Day doesn't do happy particularly well, but they've got pissed off, bittersweet, and disenchanted down.
The three albums work as a piece, but also stand confidently on their own individually. Of the three, “Tre” will appeal to Green Day fans who like their music a little more contemplative than mindless.

lime wire review for tre
Green Day have got love on the brain, while their toes are firmly dipped in the influences of eras gone by on ‘¡Dos!, the second album of their new trilogy. The disc even has a old-school pacing, clocking in at just under 40 minutes, but taking 13 tracks to get there. The quick-hitting nature of the songs makes the album a more immediate listen that seems to fly by.
‘¡Dos!’ comes across as a more cohesive collection than its predecessor (‘¡Uno!’) both lyrically and musically. The first part of the album follows the story of a man pursuing the girl that seems out of reach and the eventual comedown that follows, while the latter portion allows for a few steps outside the lyrical storyline.
Album opener ‘See You Tonight’ and closer ‘Amy’ perfectly bookend the album with a restrained Green Day dipping into what feels like ’60s era Everly Brothers territory. The disc digs in with the out and out pursuit of the young woman on ‘F— Time,’ a song that almost brings to mind teens dancing the twist and a Georgia Satellites guitar lick thrown in in for good measure while singer Billie Joe Armstrong begins the courting process.
‘Stop When the Red Lights Flash’ continues the process, with the boast, “Out of sight, out of mind, just give me one more time, I’ll make you surrender.” For those looking for radio singles, ‘Stop When the Red Lights Flash’ seems like an obvious choice. But the wheels begin to come off with ‘Ashley,’ a frenetic track about the young woman of the singer’s desires falling further out of reach both romantically and in his desired interest.
Highlights on the album include Armstrong’s exhausted lament on ‘Lazy Bones,’ a track that stands out from the rest of the disc and could potentially be its biggest single. Another standout, ‘Makeout Party,’ provides a showcase for drummer Tre Cool, who gets to steer away from keeping the beat to offer drum fills with reckless abandon while bassist Mike Dirnt fuels the song’s breakdown midway through.
Current single ‘Stray Heart‘ was an obvious choice for radio play as well, as the bouncy feel of the track reflects the sound of ’80s era The Jam or more recently Weezer’s poppy side. It’s straight-up ear candy that instantly connects and is the poppiest track of a very commercial sounding release.
For those looking for the hard-edged snarl of some of Green Day’s mid-2000s music, this album is not likely the place for you, but ‘¡Dos!’ does work extremely well as an infectious pop record with touches of early rock influences.
Green Day will put a bow on the trilogy with the release of ‘¡Tre!’ on Dec. 11.
