Green Day presents their second installment of their ambitious three album release thing that they're doing this year. I am personally impressed that they are able to have this much material to release three albums in a year, but I am also glad they didn't decide to release all the tracks from these three albums on one ginormous 3 CD extravaganza package. Personally that would be too much Green Day for me to handle at once. By putting about a month in between releases, Green Day gives their fans enough time to listen and enjoy one CD and then not have to wait another two or three years for another CD. Also by releasing one album at a time instead of three at once it gives their fans a chance to enjoy each album individually rather than having to process three albums worth of Green Day at once.
On Dos! Green Day continues the formula they presented on Uno! There is an obvious return to their roots with these two albums and one can expect that this style will continue on the third and final installment, Tre! which comes out December 11th. A lot of the songs on Dos! will definitely remind the listener of their albums Dookie and Nimrod and on some of the songs you can even here some influence from The Clash. If there were any fans who were disappointed in the direction Green Day went with American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown then you will rejoice in the band returning to their roots.
With this album, as with their previous albums, Green Day does what they do best. Which is writing simple, catchy, and great pop punk songs.
Overall if you are a fan of Green Day old or new, and were a fan of Uno! Then you will certainly be a fan of Dos!
Rating: 8/10
