Green Day offers online pre-order for Ultimate Box Set of upcoming albums, ¡Uno! ¡Dos! and ¡Tre!
The Ultimate Box Set for Green Day's three upcoming albums, ¡Uno! ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!, is now available for pre-order on the official Green Day website.
Priced at $79.99, the ultimate box set includes a bundle of Green Day goodies, including all three albums to be delivered on street date, a one-year membership to the online Green Day fan club (Idiot Club), a Green Day documentary DVD, individual CD books and digital recordings of all three albums, plus much more.
Green Day's three new albums are set to be released within the next six months, with ¡Uno! on September 25, ¡Dos! on November 13, and ¡Tré! on January 15 (2013). They will be the first releases from the band since Green Day's 2009 21st Century Breakdown.
Also available for pre-order is a digital box set for $39.99, which includes much of the same as the ultimate box set, but strictly through digital means. Available for $21.98 is the ¡Uno! CD book, a 40-page booklet which features a collection of expanding art and lyrics. This CD book is available the same day ¡Uno! hits stores, September 25.
According to Green Day's lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong in an interview with Rolling Stone, the next three albums will not be a continuation of the American Idiot or 21st Century Breakdown prototype, where in-depth rock ballads and operas ruled. Instead, ¡Uno! And its two follow-ups will be "punchier, more power pop - somewhere between AC/DC and the early Beatles" compared to the two previous albums.
Currently on a tour of the UK, Green Day already has a few US tour dates lined up for 2013, with more to be added soon. Be sure to check out the already released single "Oh Love," off of the album ¡Uno!, here.
