Insomniac (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (374 words)
Insomniac is Green Day's fourth album and it was released in 1995 on the Reprise Records record label.
The collage on the album 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.
Including the hidden skull, there are three skulls on the entire album cover and back; one for each member of Green Day.

This new record is a lot more accessible and melodic than previous albums, and rather than pursuing a path of sullen introspection, this time Aidan and Malcolm seem almost positive, demonstrating an optimism lacking in their previous recordings.
The only really negative thing I could say about this album is that it is only 35 minutes long, and does not really contain a lot of expansion on the complexity of their last record.
A labour of love, the album was written and recorded largely by front man Davey Macmanus himself, describing the recording process as ‘six months of killing myself every day’ and likening the writing process to answering mathematical equations.
