I haven't listened to any of these since each one was released. I got tix for green Day today though and figured I might as well check'em out again since they'll be playing songs from them. There's no doubt none of these albums are that great on their own. There are some damn good songs I'm starting to love though. If you could have scrapped the 3 albums and just released 1, what songs would you pick? Lets make it 12 songs.
My tracklist would be: 1. Brutal Love 2. Lazy Bones 3. Stray Heart 4. Walk Away 5. Kill the DJ 6. Amanda 7. Drama Queen 8. Missing You 9. Wow, That's Loud! 10. X-Kid 11. Amy 12. Rusty James
Right now, I think Tre is my favorite of the three. There's a certain kind of maturity in it that I hear in Warning. Somehow I went to really disliking these albums to them growing on me in one night. Except Uno. Uno was the only one I could really stand at first and now it's the one with the most forgettable songs for me.

Tre seems to be everyone's favorite of the three.
I think the first four songs on Uno are pretty good.
Most of Dos is poopy.
The lyrics on the whole "trilogy" are fucking terrible.

While I wish the lyrics were better, I get an early GD vibe from them sometimes. Just wish they wouldn't be so repetitive. I think the reason I like the album that I came up with so much is because it sounds to me like an album that could have followed Warning. If there's one thing this trilogy does, it reminds me that Green Day are (getting) older and I can't expect them to write more songs like Dookie and Insomniac (I shouldn't be in the first place). This (my tracklist) is an older Green Day I can totally get behind. Had they cut it down to the songs I posted, it would probably be in my top 3 Green Day albums. Most sound like they came together more organically than anything off 21st Century or American Idiot. I dunno. It's hard to express my attraction to the trilogy.
PS: Yeah, I think Dos has my least favorite songs.
