¡Tré! is the upcoming eleventh studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. It will be the third and final installment in the ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy, a series of studio albums to be released from September to December 2012. The album follows the power pop style of ¡Uno!,[1] and the garage rock feel of ¡Dos![2] and will be a mix of everything.[citation needed]

Green Day started recording material for the album on February 14, 2012, and finished on June 26, 2012. The album is set to be released on December 7, 2012, in Australia, December 10 in the UK and December 11 in the US, through Reprise Records, and was produced by their long-time producer Rob Cavallo.

Recording and release

On April 11, Green Day announced that they would be releasing a trilogy of albums titled ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! and stated that they would be released on September 25, 2012, November 13, 2012, and January 15, 2013, respectively, through Reprise Records.[3][4] On August 22, Armstrong gave preview of some songs through his iPhone on Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio 1 in the UK. The preview included a brief snippet of "8th Ave Serenade". The track listing for ¡Tré! was revealed at the beginning of their video for the promotional single "Nuclear Family" from ¡Uno!.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page). It was later released officially on the "Idiot Club" and was later posted on their website.[5] The song "99 Revolutions" previously appeared in the film The Campaign. "99 Revolutions" also appeared in a trailer released by Green Day on their YouTube channel on June 21, 2012.[6]. On October 4, 2012, it was announced that the song "The Forgotten" will be featured in the upcoming final installment of the Twilight film series The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. On October 29, it was announced that the album's release will be pushed forward to December 11, 2012, due to Green Day having to cancel their upcoming 2012 section of their 2012/2013 tour and delay much of the 2013 leg.[7] On October 30, the song "The Forgotten" was released with a video featuring scenes from the film The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2. On November 1, Green Day released "Behind The Scenes of ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, and ¡Tré! - Part 1" which featured the preview of the song "X-Kid". Early vinyl pressings of ¡Tré! feature "Stray Heart" instead of "Drama Queen" due to the fact that they were printed before the switch up.[8]

Music and composition

Billie Joe Armstrong had said the following about the trilogy: Each of the three albums has a totally different vibe. "The first one is power pop. The second is more garage-y, Nuggets-type rock. And the third is supposed to be epic. With the first album you're getting in the mood to party. On the second one, you're at the party. And the third album you're cleaning up the mess."[9] ¡Tré! will be geared more towards stadium rock and will have more of a grandiose sound complete with string arrangements and brass sections. He also went on to say that the mood of ¡Tré! will be "reflective" and explained the album would be a "mixed bag" with the sound fluctuating from the punk rock feel of Dookie and Insomniac, the experimental elements of Nimrod and Warning and finishing with the stadium rock/rock opera sound taken from American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. While musically, Rob Cavallo said that "They wanted to return to the simplicity of Dookie." "We also wanted to go pre-Dookie, back to our love of Fifties and Sixties music, close-to-the-bone rock and roll. You don't hear a gazillion parts. The majority of this is drums, bass, two guitars and vocals."[9] Frontman Billie Joe also stated that ¡Tre! would be the most ambitious album of the trilogy. He has also stated the following of the album's opening track: "Brutal Love", which marries glam rock, doo-wop and soul music, includes swelling strings at its conclusion."[10]
