I have to be honest: I was extremely disappointed by \u201c?Uno!\u201d which is the first album in Green Day\u2019s 2012 trilogy. I was desperately hoping the band would go backwards with their musical style, but this remains similar to pop rock. That\u2019s not the only problem: Of its 13 tracks, I actually only enjoyed two.<\/p>\n

After thoroughly listening to \u201c?Uno!\u201d and reading the lyrics until they were carved into my brain, I began to notice its overall theme, which I realized is surprisingly deep and relatable. It seems that lead singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong was reflecting on his coming of age and trying to reach out to his audience. The first track, \u201cNuclear Family,\u201d describes a common problem among teenagers: family issues. Armstrong himself didn\u2019t have a nuclear family. His father died when he was ten, and his relationship with his stepfather wasn\u2019t pleasant.<\/p>\n

\u201cCarpe Diem\u201d is, in my opinion, the preeminent song on the album.<\/p>\n

Life is short, after all, and it really does pass in \u201ca blink of an eye,\u201d as Armstrong\u2019s striking voice sings out. Not only are the vocals and lyrics over the top, but the instrumentals also set a mood that empowers the listener. It sends a positive message \u2013 something you don\u2019t see much in mainstream music anymore. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, these are probably the only pleasant aspects of the album. Track five, \u201cKill the DJ,\u201d is plain terrible. It sounds as if Armstrong is using AutoTune. Like an old lady using Botox, Green Day is trying to appear younger, and it\u2019s not working out.<\/p>\n

Another negative of the album is the lack of emotion in Armstrong\u2019s voice. One thing that had me screaming for Green Day is how at one time, his voice portrayed so much anger one moment, but could become melancholy, light, or innocent the next. In \u201c?Uno!\u201d he sounds distant and withdrawn. And then he screws up some of the tracks even more, trying to produce an angry sound by simply adding explicit words. Newsflash, Billie: cursing your lungs out won\u2019t necessarily add emotion to your music. <\/p>\n

\u201c?Uno!\u201d is nowhere near Green Day\u2019s best album. After the brilliance of \u201c21st Century Breakdown,\u201d it was almost impossible to wait three years to see what else Green Day had in store. Expectations were set pretty high in 2009, and this album just didn\u2019t cut it \u2013 it\u2019s a huge letdown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
