The album was released on November 9, 2012 in Australia, November 12 in the United Kingdom and on November 13 in the United States through Reprise Records. It is the second installment in the ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy. Following its predecessor's power pop style, ¡Dos! was billed as Green Day's take on garage rock.-Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
Sputnik Music
Musically, the majority of the songs on ¡Dos! sound like rehearsal room outtakes, songs so limp they couldn’t even be bothered to release them as the Foxboro Hot Tubs.
-
The Guardian
Part two of Green Day's album triptych finds them flailing ever further from the pop nous that has underscored their finest moments
-
Slant
While the album is agreeably jejune in a way that recalls the band’s Dookie era, only a handful of its tracks are truly essential additions to the Green Day catalogue.
-
The Appalachian
it almost sounds like what would happen if the Spice Girls tried to be “hip” and “dark” sometime in the early 2000’s and failed miserably.
-
Consequence of Sound
With a lack of depth, a messy focus, and a bloated sense of evolution, ¡Dos! isn’t only a forgettable sequel to a bland predecessor, but a slip down the ladder Green Day has attempted to extend for over a decade.
-
The Highlander
What we really end up with is a very imbalanced album that packs only a small amount of punch.
-
Music OMH
Overall, ¡Dos! pretty much lives up to expectations. It’s a mixed bag of an album, which has little direction or focus.
-
UpRoxx
“Dos!” is about sticking it out through the long night, through the dark alleys and twists and turns. It’s scrappier and messier.
-
BBC
it seems like part of an as-yet-incomplete whole.
-
Edmonton Journal
Dos! feels slightly more honest and ambitious than its predecessor.
-
Drowned in Sound
Two down and things are still looking pretty good for Green Day’s triple album experiment.
-
Newsday
"¡Dos!" and its ambitions are impressive, and it now becomes more understandable how its strain may have landed Billie Joe Armstrong in rehab.
-
Daily News
the messy trio of "Uno!," "Dos!" and "Tre!" just makes Green Day sound like they're going down for the count.
-
Montreal Gazette
¡Dos! is a straight-up rock n’ roll album.
-
The Upcoming
¡Dos! delivers a different sound to the first album but with the same perseverance and energy, leaving you wondering what final album in the trilogy ¡Tres! has in store.
-
Loudwire
¡Dos!' comes across as a more cohesive collection than its predecessor ('¡Uno!') both lyrically and musically.
-
Diffuser
Unless Green Day are saving the great new songs for next month’s ‘Tre!,’ it’s starting to look like their ambition is getting the best of them.
-
Diamond in the rock
¡Dos! won’t quite appeal to all fans the way ¡Uno! did, but it’s still a decent listen and certainly isn’t bad enough to discourage Green Day from devouring ¡Tre! a month from now.
-
Pop Matters
¡Dos! ends up being the record people were promised last time around, a classicist return-to-basics for a group that had spent the better part of the last decade tipping ever farther into rock-god self-importance.
-
Punk News
¡Dos! underwhelms.
-
AV Club
¡Dos! is the sophomore slump of a trilogy that’s shaping up to be far less fun than it was supposed to be.
-
Louder than War
It is when it is compared to some of their best work, however, that the groupâs second output of the trilogy is exposed for what it really is in the grand scheme of their back catalogue: a limp, flaccid offering that from the outset promises power but never quite delivers that fatal punch.
