Reseña
El cuarto álbum de Green Day se titula "Insomniac" y fue lanzado el 10 de octubre de 1995 por el sello Reprise Records. Grabado en los estudios Hyde Street de San Francisco, contaron con Rob Cavallo como productor.
Green Day lanzó "Insomniac" como continuación de su anterior álbum, "Dookie" (1994), que obtuvo un sobresaliente éxito, tanto en ventas como en críticas.
En contraste con "Dookie", el nuevo álbum nos trae sonidos más pesados y letras más sombrías. Es un disco con más carga punk que el anterior, con canciones que tratan sobre la ansiedad, el aburrimiento o las drogas.
La crítica alabó las composiciones de los temas y el sarcasmo espresado por Billie Joe Armstrong en sus letras.
Los cuatro sencillos que se lanzaron sirvieron para apoyar las ventas del álbum, que superó los dos millones de copias vendidas en Estados Unidos y diez millones a nivel mundial.
El primer sencillo de "Insomniac" es "Geek Stink Breath", lanzado el 25 de septiembre de 1995 como sencillo principal. La letra habla de los efectos autodestructivos de la metanfetamina en el cuerpo humano y estaba basado en las experiencias del propio cantante, Billie Joe Armstrong. También habla del sufrimiento de las personas que rodean a un adicto.
"Stuck with Me" salió a la palestra el 27 de diciembre de 1995. Compuesta por Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt y Tré Cool, trata sobre las personas débiles y de la necesidad de atreverse a dar un empujón para defenderse.
"Brain Stew" y "Jaded" se lanzaron conjuntamente en el mismo sencillo. Ambas están enlazadas mediante una transición. "Brain Stew" trata sobre Armstrong padeciendo una fase de insomnio. De hecho, el tema iba a titularse inicialmente "Insomniac", aunque finalmente lo renombraron y ese título fue el que pusieron en la portada del álbum.
El último sencillo del álbum "Insomniac" es el titulado "Walking Contradiction" y es también el tema que cierra el disco. Publicado el 20 de agosto de 1996, fue coescrito por Billie Joe Armstrong.
El video que acompañó a este sencillo fue dirigido por el realizador estadounidense Roman Coppola (hijo del cineasta Francis Ford Coppola). Grabado en Los Ángeles, nos muestra a los miembros de Gren Day dando vueltas por la ciudad y provocando accidentes y caos por doquier sin ser conscientes de ello. El vídeo recibió una nominación al Grammy como Mejor Vídeo Musical en la gala de 1997.

[X]letra de Armatage Shanks
Stranded...lost inside myself
My own worst friend
My own closest enemy
Branded...maladjusted
Never trusted anyone
Let alone myself
I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
Elected the rejected
I perfected the science of the idiot
No meaning...no healing
Self loathing freak and introverted deviate - BratVer letra 1:43
[X]letra de Brat
Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
They're getting over the hill
Death is closing in and catching up
As far as I can tell
Got a plan of action and cold blood
And it smells of defiance
I'll just wait for Mom and Dad to die
And got my inheritance
Now I want more
Cause I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
Now it's all figured out
Nothing good can last
Crows feet and rot are setting in
And time is running out
My parent's income interest rate
Is gaining higher clout
I'm a snot nosed slob
Without a job
And I know I damn well should
Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
But my future's looking good - Stuck With MeVer letra 2:15
[X]letra de Stuck With Me
I'm not part of your elite
I'm just alright
Class structure waving colors
Bleeding from my throat
Not subservient to you I'm just alright
Down classed by the powers that be
Give me loss of hope
Cast out...buried in a hole
Struck down...forcing me to fall
Destroyed...giving up the fight
I know I'm not alright
What's my price and will you pay it if it's alright?
Take it from my dignity
Waste it until it's dead
Throw me back into the gutter
Cause it's alright
Find another pleasure fucker
Drag them down to hell - Geek Stink BreathVer letra 2:15
[X]letra de Geek Stink Breath
I'm on a mission
I made my decision
To lead a path of self destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
Every hour my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure
filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thick white line
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
I'm on a mission
I've got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
Wish in one hand shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face - No PrideVer letra 2:19
[X]letra de No Pride
I'm just a mutt
And nowhere is my home
Where dignity's a land mine
In the school of lost hope
I've panhandled for a life because
I'm not afraid to beg
Hand me down your lost and founds
Of second hand regret
You better swallow your pride
Or you're gonna choke on it
You better digest your values
Because they turn to shit
Honor's gonna knock you down
Before your chance to stand up and fight
I know I'm not the one
I got no pride
Sects of disconnection
And traditions of lost faith
No culture's worth a stream of piss
Or a bullet in my face
To hell with unity
Separation's gonna kill us all
Torn to shreds and disjointed
Before the final fall - Bab's Uvula Who? 2:08
- 86Ver letra 2:47
[X]letra de 86
What brings you around?
Did you lose something the last time you were here?
You'll never find it now
It's buried deep with your identity
So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don't let the door kick you in the ass
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
Don't even try
Exit out the back
And never show your head around again
Purchase your ticket
And quickly take the last train out of town
So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don't let the door kick you in the ass
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
Don't even try
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
Don't even try - Panic SongVer letra 3:35
[X]letra de Panic Song
Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self destruction
Widespread panic
Broken glass inside my head
Bleeding down these thoughts of
Anguish... mass confusion
The world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with... I don't care
There's a plague inside of me
Eating at my disposition
Nothing's left
Torn out of reality
Into a state of no opinion
Limp with hateLetras: Mike Dirnt - Stuart and The Ave. 2:03
- Brain StewVer letra 3:12
[X]letra de Brain Stew
I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own, here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go
My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My senses dulled
Passed the point of delirium
On my own, here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go - JadedVer letra 1:30
[X]letra de Jaded
Somebody keep my balance
I think I'm falling off
Into a state of regression
The expiration date
Rapidly coming up
It's leaving me behind to rank
Always move forward
Going "straight" will get you nowhere
There is no progress
Evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
I'm taking one step sideways
Leading with my crutch
Got a fucked up equilibrium
Count down from nine to five
Hooray! We're gonna die!
