Once upon a time, there were many who assumed there was no such thing as a 'popular' punk rock band; Green Day had then emerged onto the scene, and life itself became a walking contradiction. Insomniac's bitterness and swell amount of maturity is hidden just a bit by the adolescence of Billie Joe, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool. Each song is every bit as rousing as they are sarcastic, and the musicianship just doesn't seem to let up. For a hardcore Green Day fanatic, this album is a must-have.

"Tight Wad Hill" is the only song, that keeps this record from getting 5.

Insomniac is my favorite Green Day album. There's not much to say, the music itself isn't very complex, but I think Billie's lyrics are top notch here, he reminds me of a rapper with the way he structured and performed his verses. Some of it is still kind of immature, but his trademark wit and sarcasm fit the short, punchy tracks like gloves. I think his voice sounds the best it ever has as well, even if Billie aped his style from Joel Strummer and Joey Ramone, his voice is still immediately recognizable. Insomniac is short and straight to the point, no ballads, just straight punk rock (or pop punk if you must, but this shit is way harder than anything the Ramones ever put out) from a band that didn't yet seem to notice how famous they had gotten. The singles released from here were pretty raw (either in terms of subject matter or the surprising riff in Brain Stew), and this is the Green Day album that is the most consistently heavy from start to finish. Maybe not as highly rated as some of their other works, this is the one I keep coming back to.

Insomniac is a lazy, uninspiring record. Not even the band liked it when it came out. The whole thing is half-assed and boring and I can't think of a single reason to listen to it-- unless you've never picked up a guitar before and want to learn. In that case, check out "Brain Stew." You'll be able to learn it and play it in under two minutes.

In some ways, merely the "darker Dookie". Not a total repeat however - it does manage to set itself apart with nice anxiety-ridden vibes all the way through, and though still slick-sounding it's noticeably rough around the edges - a bit less pop, and though it's constantly self-deprecating, a bit more confident.

A pretty good showing from Green Day on this one, but definitely not my favorite of theirs.
