Green Day has issued "Oh, Love" as the first single from its upcoming triple play of albums, Uno!, Dos! and Tre!. "Oh, Love" is taken from the first of the three discs, Uno!, which is due out on September 25th, to be followed by Dos! on November 13th and Tre! on January 15th. The three albums are the first non-concept records from the band in more than a decade, following 2004's American Idiot and 2009's 21st Century Breakdown.
The effect of writing rock operas and having them produced for the stage still seems to be lingering in Green Day, with Loudwire describing "Oh, Love" as "a mix between new-school Green Day and Broadway, with even a hint of Queen thrown in the mix."
The band told Rolling Stone that Uno! is a power pop record, while Dos! is garage rock and Tre!is "epic."
Two documentaries on Green Day, one on the making of the band's upcoming three albums and the other focusing on the group's early days, are being prepared now for tentative release early next year.
