Just finished listening to it. I didn't like Uno or Dos, so this was just more of the same to me. Overall, I'd say Insomniac is and will always be my favourite album that they've done.

I like most of it quite a bit, but it seemed to peter out at the end for me.

I like it better than the others but I'm into the more mature Green Day so I like the brief forays into mini operas.

YES!!!! Insomniac is easily their best release.

Insomniac? Is that the one with Brain Stew and Walking Contradiction? Good album but far from their best. That would be American Idiot and Dookie.

I wonder why Tre isn't $5 like the first two were.

Re: Green Day to release 3 albums in next 8 months

I just listened to it once through and I love it. Best of these three releases IMO.

It's also my favorite of the three. I really, really like it.

Re: Green Day to release 3 albums in next 8 months

I guess I'm just really into Green Day, because I think Tre is just as good as Uno and Dos...which is to say I love it.

Re: Green Day to release 3 albums in next 8 months

Okay, I listened to all three of these albums and it's the reason I never cared about Green Day between Dookie and American Idiot. Not terrible, but not special either. Makes me even more impressed with American Idiot.

99 Revolutions is pretty bad, beyond that, Tre is pretty solid.

Brutal Love may be their most blatant rip off yet. It's pretty close to a note for note copy of Bring it Home To Me by Sam Cooke.

I like this better and better with each listen.

A year later and these albums are all still incredible to me.

I still never picked up ˇTre!, the other two were disappointing to me.

I highly recommend giving it a listen, many thought it was the best of the trilogy. Personally I'd give the slight edge to Uno, but this is right there with it.

I liked the trilogy in a weird self-indulgent Use Your Illusion kinda way.

That said, I'm listening to the Record Store Day exclusive Demolicious CD right now and this is what they shoulda released. I don't say that lightly because I know that same psychology is there that makes nerds heap praise on any Star Wars stuff George Lucas is minimally involved with. But I sincerely think it's warranted in this case.

You could accomplish the same basic idea with an iTunes playlist because there's only one new song and the rest aren't huge deviations from the released versions, but I would say there is a slight benefit from the lack of polish.

I shudder to think of Springsteen releasing Nebraska as a super-limited release a year and a half after unleashing Electric Nebraska to the masses had Record Store Day been a thing in the early 80s, but hey, at least Demolicious is out there. Pirate away.

So Demolicious ended up being the best-selling Record Store Day release this time around, and it will be released digitally on May 19.
