	Insomniac Review \| Green Day \| Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		Of all Green Day's albums, this one has to be their most hard core punk to date.
		I love everything about this album the only thing I hate is that the album is only about a half an hour.
		Like I said, it is my favorite album of all time, and without the intense guitar, bitchy vocals (not intended as an insult, heh heh), and backhanded, acidic lyrics, Insomniac wouldn't exist.

	Wikipedia:Naming conventions - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Convention: In titles of songs or albums, unless it is unique, the standard rule in the English language is to capitalize words that are the first word in the title and those that are not conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for), prepositions (in, to, over, through), or articles (an, a, the).
		When necessary, disambiguation should be done using (band), (album), or (song) (such as Anthrax (band) or Insomniac (album)); use further disambiguation only when needed (for example X (U.S. band), X (Australian band)).
		Disambiguate albums by artist and not by year unless multiple self-titled albums are released.

	Green Day (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		In 1995, it was confirmed that they had sold over 10 million albums worldwide, a stunning achievement for a band who have remained faithful to a basic punk pop framework.
		Insomniac and Nimrod confirmed their popularity, with the band's fans seemingly unfazed by the weakness of the songs compared to the material on Dookie.
		Their fourth major label release, October 2000"s Warning, was a hugely enjoyable power pop album that, contrary to the band's defiant claims, owed little to their punk roots.

	Green Day - Insomniac Review - sputnikmusic
		Insomniac is a fun album, probbly for diehard fans for myself only.
		The next to last 3 songs on that album were pure fillers and no difference here except the next to last two are pure fillers.
		Even though this is probably their angriest and quickest album, they are still nowhere near punk.

		I always find this album to be really easy to listen to, and has that spark of aggression that none of the other albums have.
		The lyrics are very good (but all the albums have very good lyrics), with some very nice bass licks, that stand Green Day apart from their roots (such as the Ramones, who just had bass lines that were exactly the same as the guitar riff).
		Brain stew opens with a great riff (that is repeated on "Hitchin' a ride" off of 'Nimrod') that is hardly punky at all and seems almost metal-like, which is accentuated when the thumping drums and bass kick in and determine the overlying tempo for the entire song.

	Green Day : Insomniac - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Throughout Insomniac, there are vague references to the band's startling multi-platinum breakthrough, but the album is hardly a stark confessional on the level of Nirvana's In Utero.
		While nothing on the album is as immediate as "Basket Case" or "Longview," the band has gained a powerful sonic punch, which goes straight for the gut but sacrifices the raw edge they so desperately want to keep and makes the record slightly tame.
		Billie Joe hasn't lost much of his talent for simple, tuneful hooks, but after a series of songs that all sound pretty much the same, it becomes clear that he needs to push himself a little bit more if Green Day ever want to be something more than a good punk-pop band.

	yaledailynews.com - Insomnia is no Dookie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		It is no wonder that the anticipated release of Insomniac had radio stations and high schoolers eagerly waiting to find our if the album would live up to the high expectations set by Dookie.
		The layout is patterned somewhat after their last album (not coincidentally), but the band does some experimentations breaking from their usual fast-paced, four-chord form.
		The final remaining tracks are perhaps the weakest on the album, though, as they make no attempt to extrapolate on their simple successes or explore new territory.

	Rolling Stone : Green Day: Insomniac : Music Reviews
		Insomniac wastes no time offering up the same kind of pure pleasures that enlivened Dookie: ramalama hooks, goony humor and punk commitment and passion.
		Insomniac begins at a breathless pogopop pace with "Armatage Shanks" and "Brat." When a lyric fragment jumps out of the thick mix, it sticks like glue after the sonic rumble moves on: "Stranded...
		The core message of Insomniac – like all great punk records – is that redemption is possible only through cold-eyed realism, not trendy nihilism or bleak despair.

	Winston Smith Gallery: Green Day: Insomniac, 1995
		He asked how long it took me to create and I said that, not counting the two weeks prior which were consumed with locating and high-grading hundreds of images for the winnowing-out process, I'd spent the last 38 hours working on the assembly of the composition.
		The original working title for the album was to be Tightwad Hill.
		When the Green lads were examining the new cover art I'd created for their album they noticed that there were two skulls in the composition.

	Punknews.org \| Green Day - Insomniac
		(The end of the Insomniac tour would even be cancelled due to physcial and mental exhasution months later) Billie Joe was actually sufffering Insomnia(hence the name) internal conflicts were building up in the band, and recent marriages were putting strain on the band and the popularity didn't help much.
		Insomniac is a perfect testament of a band on the verge of breakdown, an album that can't be recreated, showing what fame actually will do to you.
		This album is a brilliant example of a band on edge, the darkness of the lyrics hits new depths as we plunge inside the problems in Billie Joes mind at that time.

		Next in the album is the disrespectful but brilliant song 'Brat' which is short but cool, then the album continues with a lineup of sensational songs showing the drumming talents of Tre Cool, the bassist talents of Mike Dirnt, and the guitar and vocals ability of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong.
		All in all the album entails fourteen short but sensational songs from the greatest punk rock band of all time.
		Dookie, i grant you, is a good album, but it is teetering, as is american idiot, on the brink of pop music, which is why both albums have done so very well.

		Insomniac may not have some of the greats, but the CD is great because it has practically nothing weak.
		If "Dookie" is a sort of concept album about the trials and tribulations of growing up, then its followup, the equally great "Insomniac", is about what happens when everyone turns against you.
		But this album still has a few very good songs spread over 14 tracks.It has been said to be Green day in their purest punk form and it does have a different feeling to it.

		I love 86 and Brain Stew and feel that this album was trying to send a message to the people who thought Green Day had sold out when they signed to a major label.
		The album is so much darker than previous albums they have released as most songs on here are about depression, drugs and low self confidence.
		Ignore the critics and people who say "Insomniac" is the "worst album ever" because they are wrong.

		I remember, this was the first album that I ever got.
		Although green day had established themself as a punk band this album took the off the "punk scale." This is probably the poorest green day album yet the planning of the song order yet again saved...
		Possibly their finest album, Throwing Muses' fifth album, University, blends the rock power of Red Heaven, their first effort as a trio, with the shiny, surreal pop of The Real Ramona.

		Throughout, he rails at the moribund state of youth culture and his place in it, as bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool speed up this anger to a frenetic pace.

		Still this record is awesome and I recomend it and all of their others to everyone.

	Green Day Best Of the Best
		The Insomniac tour was cut short due to fatigue by the band, and as a result the album received almost no promotion.
		Successful singles from Insomniac include "Geek Stink Breath," "Walking Contradiction," "Brain Stew," and the fast-paced "Jaded." The latter two songs were combined into one music video, and are a microcosm of the tone of the whole album.
		Insomniac presents one of the most negative tones of any album ever, which alienated some fans.

		Green day is a band that I've loved and followed since I wore out their Insomniac album.
		Most notable when they released "Warning" although this album still had catchy singles and a good sound, a lot more of the songs leaned more heavily on vocals from the lead singer, Billy Joe Armstrong, and more mature driving beats.
		What I was surprised to find when I first got the album was the length of the other songs, at an average length of 6+ min, with the longest song being 9:18.

		It consists of Hole's "Celebrity Skin" album, some songs from "Live Through This," and a couple of Garbage songs.
		Courtney still bleeds well, even when compared to the songs on "Live Through This." There are songs on the latter album which seem more honestly painful than the ones on "Celebrity Skin." They seem rawer, anyway.
		It is rare that I find an album which I can listen to all the way through.

		Their follow-up album, Insomniac was pretty disappointing compared to Dookie, and quickly suppressed.
		Their following album was Nimrod, a huge success that promoted their fame and fortune even more so, a desperately needed album to make up for Insomniac's embarrassment.

		It may be impossible to be objective but even now, years onward from the time I practically wore the disc out as a depressed high-schooler, I have to say it stands up remarkably well.
		The music is mostly as basic as it gets; people usually need some simple basic fiber in their diets among the more fancy stuff, and Green Day did manage to do more with three chords than anyone since the Ramones.
		Insomniac is much more enjoyable and fun than the self-aggrandizing rock Green Day produced with American Idiot.
