Like I mentioned before, I understand you like the F word, but there really is no reason to use it that much. If I wanted that much vulgarity I would listen to Gangsta Rap. There seams to be no theme or flow to the album, and the songs are more or less emotionless. I'd give the album a 3/10. The only album I might dislike more is Insomniac.

21st Century Breakdown was soooo much better.
Obviously you're free to your opinions Erik, but when it comes to the "****" think, I think you're really overstating it. The word (or a derivative of) appears in 5/13 tracks. And if you take out Kill The DJ (where it's purposely overused) it appears a grand total of 8 times in the other 4 songs it appears, most of the time in the middle of a line. I honestly don't think that's overkill at all.
As for the record itself, I understand why you don't like it. It's a pop-punk record (which I know isn't your genre of choice) basically acting as if American Idiot and 21CB didn't happen. It seems to me that the band is trying to please everyone/go every possible direction with these three records. Uno being a lbery Pop Punk album, Dos is supposed to be very reminiscent of the Foxboro Hot Tubs garage rock but with heavier grooves, and Tre has the stadium rock opera stuf. Like I said when they announced the whole project, I don't know how good of an idea that is, but it's what I think they were going for.
