Picked it up today, and listening to it as I type.
It is good. GD has gone back to their punk roots, trying to recapture the old magic of Dookie. They don't quite hit that, and I'd rank this one up with Nimrod, enjoyable all the way through. Really does have the same feel as Nimrod.
The nice part is that this sounds like Green Day. While I did enjoy American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, those were more ambitious and theatrical albums, and lacked that punk feeling. Uno! does not do that, though there is a hint of it here and there.
Let me put it this way. If you told me this album came out a little while after Dookie, I could believe it. It's the old sound, the one we were hoping they'd go back to. Since they recorded Dos! And Tres! At the same time, those purchases will be no-brainers for me.
