This is the best music we've ever written, and the songs just keep coming. Instead of making one album, we are making a three album trilogy. Every song has the power and energy that represents Green Day on all emotional levels. We just can't help ourselves ... We are going epic as fuck!"〔 The band started work by rehearsing every other day and making songs.〔 They recorded the album at Jingletown Studios in Oakland, California.〔 The band recorded 37 songs〔 and initially thought of making a double album.〔 Armstrong suggested making a trilogy of albums like Van Halen's ''Van Halen I'', ''Van Halen II'' and ''Van Halen III''.〔 He stated in an interview, "The songs just kept coming, kept coming. I'd go, Maybe a double album? No, that's too much nowadays. Then more songs kept coming. And one day, I sprung it on the others: 'Instead of Van Halen I, II and III, what if it's Green Day I, II and III and we all have our faces on each cover?'"〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「¡Uno!」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
