I like Tre the most of the trio by far. It's not great or anything, but without anything totally shitty like Kill the DJ or Fuck Time it comes across pretty well, and most of the first half is really upbeat and hooky. X-Kid is awesome. I also think this album is more instrumentally interesting than the rest of the trio; performance-wise, Tre himself has some great moments. Song-wise, I don't really like anything from Walk Away on that much, but again, nothing here is all that bad.
Who's producing their music these days though? All three albums sound terrible, and this one possibly the worst of all. It's just really thin and crappy with no dynamics.
And I like early Green Day too. But I also love 80's U2 and 00's U2. Diversity in a band's sound over the years doesn't bother me, I like they way both bands have grown, changed, whatever. I don't mind if they revisit their past sometimes either. I don't know... when I really like a band a lot, I pretty much enjoy most of what they do. I guess that's the reason they become favorite bands to begin with. I like most of their music.
, but you've almost tempted me into at least listening to Tre!
