Green Day's Hidden Gem: The Album Billie Joe Thinks Is Overlooked
Billie Joe Armstrong names Revolution Radio and the trilogy as Green Day albums he feels are underrated and worth revisiting. But not every band in Green Day’s discography received the same level of reverence. Billy Joe Armstong, the trio’s frontman, confessed recently that some of the band’s best efforts have been overlooked. When asked about which of the band’s albums are most neglected, Armstong didn’t hesitate to name one album that he feels is too often overlooked. “Underrated... I think probably Revolution Radio, I’m going to say,” Armstrong revealed in an exclusive interview with ScreenRant's Owen Danoff.The trilogy records (¡Uno!,¡Dos!,¡Tré!) were released in rapid-fire succession in 2012, leaving fans and critics divided. It may have been overkill. That’s a lot of pop-punk to digest.Many considered the trilogy project too expansive and variable in quality, particularly in comparison to Green Day’s more focused LPs likeDookieandAmerican Idiot.Behind the band is a wall with white and green strips.
