Insomniac is the CD edition of Green Day's 1995 follow-up to Dookie, a faster, angrier and more claustrophobic album made by a band that had just become far more famous than it ever planned to be.
After Dookie turned three East Bay punks into multi-platinum stars, the backlash from their old scene stung hard. Billie Joe Armstrong channelled that frustration, along with anxiety and sleepless nights, into fourteen tight, bitter songs. Rob Cavallo returned as producer, but the sound is rawer and heavier, with fewer sugary hooks and much more bite.
Brain Stew is the slow, grinding standout, built on a riff so heavy it barely moves, a portrait of insomnia that bleeds straight into the breakneck sprint of Jaded. Geek Stink Breath is a scuzzy, sneering look at drug abuse, while Walking Contradiction closes the album with Armstrong's wry self-portrait, a riot of rhymes and power chords that sums up the band's knack for sharp, funny honesty.
Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool play like they have something to prove, all thick basslines and frantic drumming, and the whole album rarely pauses for breath.
Often overshadowed by the albums on either side of it, Insomniac has aged into a cult favourite and deserves a proper spin in its own right.
