Green Day will release not one, not two, but three new albums over a four-month period.

"Uno" is due Sept. 25, "Dos" drops Nov. 13 and "Tré" arrives Jan. 15. All were produced by Rob Cavallo, Green Day's longtime collaborator. The trilogy will follow 2009's Grammy-winning "21st Century Breakdown."

Said the band in a press release: "We are at the most prolific and creative time in our lives. This is the best music we've ever written, and the songs just keep coming. Instead of making one album, we are making a three album trilogy. Every song has the power and energy that represents Green Day on all emotional levels. We just can't help ourselves."

There is no word yet if "Uno, Dos Tre" will become a Broadway musical.
