Green Day return with their ninth studio album and their first for three years, and the best bit is there are another two on the way as ¡Uno! is the first in their trilogy of new albums, excited? Well you should be, as this album doesn't disappoint.
As a fan of Green Day's old stuff from back in the 1990s I can honestly say I was not a big fan of their last two efforts and I found this a refreshing blast from the past. That's right they've ditched the rock opera of the last 10 years and gone back to what they do best, which is great rock that makes you want to sing and dance around.
Stand out tracks from the album include 'Let Yourself Go' which makes you want to jump around and is very reminiscent of Dookie, 'Angel Blue' is possibly one of the best tracks on the album with its excellent guitar riffs and another rocky jump around chorus.
'Troublemaker', 'Carpe Diem' and Fell For You' add to the old school sound that they've finally brought back making you just want to repeatedly jump up and down.
It's not all brilliant however with the track 'Kill the DJ' falling a little short with its experimental dance rock sounds that get a little repetitive, but at the same time it's still a good song but just doesn't match up to the other songs on offer.
Overall this is a great rock record with pop twinges that will make you think its 1994 all over again. A brilliant come back album through and through.
