10 Rock Albums That Get Way Too Much Hate

10. Uno - Green Day

There's no disputing that the Green Day trilogy is far from their greatest work. Even if you were to take the best of every single album and make your ideal version of what these albums should have been, they weren't going to give Dookie or even Nimrod a run for their money any time soon. Still, the amount of hate that gets thrown at the first entry in the catalog tends to get a bit overblown.

Looking back on it, Uno remains the moment that most people realized that the trilogy was going to be a bad idea, with more than a few filler tracks to go around right out of the gate. If you were to ignore some of the more tepid cuts like Angel Blue though, there's still a quality rock album in here somewhere, like the punk thrashiness of Let Yourself Go or the power pop styles they were cribbing from on something like Nuclear Family.

It doesn't help matters that the album is paced pretty unevenly, like when all of the momentum is sucked out of the record on Kill the DJ or making Oh Love the closer of the record. As it stands today though, Uno seems to be hated more for what it stands for in Green Day's discography rather than what it actually is. If you take it as just a solid collection of power pop tunes though, this is far from the worst thing the band has ever done.
