Insomniac is the fourth studio album from the punk rock band Green Day. It was released on October 10, 1995, through the Reprise Records label. Though it reached number two in the United States and went double Platinum (According to the RIAA) by 1996, Insomniac did not have the sales endurance of its predecessor, Dookie, largely due to its slightly darker lyrical tone and heavier, more abrasive sound. The album is the band's third-best selling album behind Dookie and American Idiot with over 7 million copies sold worldwide. n 1995, a new single for the Angus soundtrack was released, titled "J.A.R.". The single went straight to number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song was followed by Insomniac, which was released in the fall of 1995. Insomniac opened to a warm critical reception, earning four out of five stars from Rolling Stone, which said "In punk, the good stuff actually unfolds and gains meaning as you listen without sacrificing any of its electric, haywire immediacy. And Green Day are as good as this stuff gets." Before the name 'Insomniac', the band considered the naming the album Tight Wad Hill (After the thirteenth track of the album) After visiting collage artist Winston Smith for the album cover, Billie Joe Armstrong asked him how he managed to make such intricate pieces in such short times. Smith answered, "It's easy for me. I am an insomniac." The collage on the album cover was created by Winston Smith and is called God Told Me to Skin You Alive, a reference to the Dead Kennedys song "I Kill Children". Interestingly enough, the cover art contains an image (the dentist) that was originally used in a collage featured in the inside cover art of Dead Kennedys' album Plastic Surgery Disasters. Smith knew Tré Cool from Green Day's time at Lookout! Records and told Tré that if he ever needed album artwork that he should call him. The cover art features several hidden images: a naked woman, 3 fairies, and several other ghostly faces in the flames. There are also three skulls on the entire album cover and back; one for each member of Green Day. One of the skulls requires you to view the piece at an angle. The hidden skull is taken from Hans Holbein's 1533 painting 'The Ambassadors'. Green Day's version, however, is slightly different from the original, with the woman holding Billie Joe's sky blue Fernandes imitation Stratocaster rather than an acoustic guitar. ℗ 1995 Reprise Records

One of there best albums. There so many good riffs in this album I can’t get enough of any of the songs easily top 3 albums

Green Day’s metal album. Geek Stink Breath and Brain Stew is awesome.

Great. Beautiful and great music and artist.

Cold and flu. Why does this idiots voice sound like he’s had a cold for the past 25 years?

😂. Why is it labeled Pop

The most punk album they have ever made. All the songs of this record are great but if I had to pick one really good one it would have to be westbound sign. That and also panic song, plus tightwad hill, and armatage shanks. MAN THIS ALBUM IS GOOOD!!!

Lol. I only love the songs on this album Stuart and the aveanue and brain stew

This is a great album. Insomniac is def in my top 3 Green Day albums from start to finish it is amazing my favs are Amartage Shanks, 86, Brain Stew/Jaded, Stuart and the Ave, and Walking Contradiction

Westbound Sign. From Cars (Teaser 2005/2006)

Garbage just like dookie!. When this album hit the scene in 1995. Every suburbian kid wanted to shoot their heads off because of how demonic this album was/is.

I know so many people love this album, but i don’t.. I’m not sure why I don’t like this. Something about it I’m not just fond of

Brain stew/Jaded. The best transition in music

Insomniac.......Really?. I liked; Panic song! Brain stew Jaded

The Best Green Day Album!!!. If Green Day Is Your Favorite Band Like They Are Mine, You Will Love This Classic Album. Billie Joe's Guitar Combines Perfectly With Dirnt's Bass Playing And Cool's Fast Paced Drumming. Some Of My Favorite Songs From This Album Are "86","Brat","Panic Song", And My All time Favorite Song Ever, "Stuart And The Ave." If You Are Looking For Some Of Green Day's Top Tracks On This Album, It Includes "Brain Stew", "Jaded", "Stuck With Me", "Geek Stink Breath", And With A Perfect Ending To The Album, "Walking Contradiction." I Would Definitely Recommend You To Buy This Great Album!

Great. So good
