Talk:Insomniac (Green Day album)

message: Before I change anything, I want some approval... The page lists the length of "I Want to be on T.V." as "2:48". I believe this to be a mistake. The length is listed as "1:17" on both Shenanigans and the B-Side of Geek Stink Breath. I think someone is confusing "I Want to be on T.V." with "Desensitized" (the only extra Japanese song on "Nimrod") because "Desensitized"s length is "2:48". But since I do not own the Japanese Version of the album I cannot prove anything. Does anyone actually own the album who can verify if this length is correct or (most likely) not. The actual length should be around 1:17...
:That is incorrect, "I Want to be on T.V." is 1:17. I've changed it. It seems highly unlikely for the band to record a special 'long' version of the song just for a foreign bonus track.--Gen. Quon (talk) 16:46, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Purpose of Talk pages 

message: Some of this article seems to me to state subjective information, such as:
:Insomniac didn't have the sales endurance of its predecessor, Dookie, largely due to its slightly darker lyrical tone and more abrasive sound. Though many consider Insomniac to be more consistent than Dookie, it did not feature a signature track akin to "Longview" or "Basket Case".

thread_title:  Subjectivity 

message: "Insomniac is a major failure, noted for not featuring a number one hit. Kerplunk!" and 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours each had three. Nimrod. also did not feature a number one hit, but featured arguably the band's biggest commercial hit, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)."
That doesn't seem to be very neutral to me, yo.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.226.30 (talk) 01:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is the "Fanfare" Part Necessary? 

message: "Complaints and Grievances, a 2001 album by comedian George Carlin, features cover artwork strikingly similar to that of Insomniac."  
I don't agree with this.  It's a subjective statement (unless you can find some kind of documentation to prove it, which I don't really expect).  It's true they are both collages but that's where the similarity ends.  The background colors are different, the Carlin album features Carlin himself in the middle, the fonts used for the titles are completely different, and the subject matter and orientation of the images does not match.

thread_title: Carlin Cover Art Similarity??

message: Someone is adding alternative rock all the time after I delete it! Just because this album has one alternative rock song (Brain Stew) that doesn't make it Alternative Rock!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.71.91.63 (talk) 08:32, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Genre 

message: hey, i don't really agree with the genres of the current page, i don't really see how it's Post-Grunge or Pop Punk, and when i try to change it somebody always keeps re-adding them, just because that's what allmusic says doesn't mean that that's right, allmusic has those same genres listed for Dookie, but no one is adding those genres to Dookie, also, i don't think there was ever a rare limited edition version released, with all the b-sides from the Insomniac singles, plus there's no sources from where the person who added that got it, so i don't think that's true. --Chickenguy12 (talk) 05:17, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Why did someone change the name of the band to Red Day? obviously i removed it since it was vandilism. --Chickenguy13 (talk) 09:39, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Red Day?

message: I do not see how this album is pop-punk because it does not have any pop elements. Even the website getGenre.com, which is probably the most accurate genre analyzer shows only punk rock when the max accuracy is reached. --Arnel (talk) 13:01, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
