I just think that it's so underrated. There are some beautiful lyrics in it - I think that "the rage and love, the story of my life, the Jesus of suburbia is a lie," is one of the best lyrics Billie has ever written. And the transition from AWTW to St. Jimmy is my favourite part of the entire album, tbh. I love the contrast of the two songs - AWTW is so calm and actually pretty sad, and then BAM! It's St. Jimmy, bitch. Definitely underrated. I think it's because it's on such an amazing album it gets overlooked. It also gets overlooked in terms of being very different for Green Day. Everyone references the album as a whole or JoS as Green Day trying something different, but AWTW is also completely new for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Not sure how unpopular this is, but it's taken quite awhile for Castaway to grow on me. I've always been music first, lyrics second, and the music for Castaway has never done much for me, but the lyrics have spoken to me a lot lately.

It grabbed me the first time I heard it because it was a catchy bop. The lyrics sound to me like it could be a sitcom theme tune. He writes a lot of “I’m all alone” songs but this one is just so happy about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Libertine Angel Posted February 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2018 I love Castaway, I would single out the bass solo but honestly everyone is on fire on that song (the whole of Warning, really), and "conscientious objector to the war that's in my mind" is an incredible line. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I'm afraid I can't get past the line "going at it alone" . Especially knowing that they see the dirtiness in everything and would be 100% aware of the double entendre . It's super catchy though, fun song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeJennsitized Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I adore Castaway, even with that double entendre I got "I'm on a sentimental journey into sight and sound" engraved on my ipod like 8 years ago. I love the whole "I'm alone and don't give a fuck" thing going on, I see it almost as a song of hope. Warning's definitely the most positive album they've written. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pouty bitch Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I fucking love Castaway. It's just so damn catchy, I can't not love it. Warning is one of those albums that's taking quite a long time for me to get into, but Castaway had me at first listen. And to this day, it's still in my top 3 songs from Warning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warning has also taken some time to grow on me as a whole. Still, there were a few songs I enjoyed from the start (such as Castaway) and others I immediately loved : Deadbeat Holiday, Hold On and Waiting, which are still among my favorite Green Day songs.

Chin for a Day Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 This is the unpopular opinion thread, so Warning has always been one of my favorite albums. However, I think Castaway is one of the weaker ones on the album. I find it to be very generic and doesn't fit in the whole style of the album. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's only after I saw them perform it live that I finally fell in love with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it's the only song that's actually made me cry. I don't know why but I find the guitar solo so emotional.

Warning (the song) was one of the songs that made me love them. It's a poppy album, but hey, not everything has to be stuff like Insomniac. Blood, Sex & Booze, Warning, Jackass, Hold On, Deadbeat Holiday, Misery... some of the timeless gems this album has to offer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Mace_ Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I'm just gonna jump on the bandwagon and say I love Warning too, and I also think AI is punk af. Most people really disagree with that last one... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why anyone wouldn't consider AI punk, it has its quiet moments but so does every Clash album except Give 'Em Enough Rope and nobody says London Calling isn't punk. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people say it's too conceptual and clichéd to be punk, but I think the conceptual aspects, paired with the subject matter, make it punk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
