I love punk rock and this is just a great punk album. Some people don't like that, which is fine, everyone's entitled to like what they like, but adding trilogy guitar tones like someone suggested in another thread? Fuuuuuuuck that!! I don't even think Insomniac is darker than other albums they've done, and I love too what you describe as "very punk" in that album. Personally, not saying that it isn't good the way it is, but the trilogy is also very punk in its own way, and the fact for me is I started really getting into Insomniac after hearing recent performances of some songs off Insomniac. Where they add vocal variations and solos. Curiously it made me enjoy the album version much more than before, for what it is. Because I got into the songs and their vibe.

A lot of people love that they add solos to those songs live and change the vocals up but I don't like it, I think they seem out of place.

Some people don't like that, which is fine, everyone's entitled to like what they like, but adding trilogy guitar tones like someone suggested in another thread? Fuuuuuuuck that!! I love the super distorted tone, but I do gotta say that Kevin Army did a better job mixing the tone in JAR than Jerry Finn did on the album, the songs were from the same session but idk, maybe they used a different setup for that song? The only thing I would change is the drum mix, they sound a little dull to me Wasn’t JAR done during Dookie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The credits have always said that it was engineered by Kevin Army, so if it wasn't the Insomniac sessions then it had to be its own separate session because he didn't record dookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 There's nothing in particular that I dislike about it, but I don't care for the song Minority. Quite fun live because it's energetic but I never listen to the album version and wouldn't mind never hearing it live either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pouty bitch Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Minority is one of the main songs that got me into GD. I wouldn't be here without it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I might've got into GD 5 years earlier if it wasn't for Minority. Someone tried to get me into them in like 2000/2001 but (along with already assuming they were just another one of the crappy pop punk bands that were around at the time) I heard that and was like no thanks . I do legitimately like the song now as it's catchy and has really great lyrics but I like folk/whatever the correct term for that style is least out of all the styles they've experimented with Am I the only one who always thinks of GDA when I hear that song? The original site was called Green Day Minority as a reference to it and then when it became a proper news source it it was changed to Green Day Authority (also from the song) so I have to think of it when it goes I don't need your authority 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like: what is this song? it's so refreshing . And then after the gig I realized it was Minority. It's one of those songs I didn't love at first album version listen. The same goes for a fair part of my favorite songs. The other part are songs I've loved from fist (album version) listen but that have never, or almost never, been played live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
