Insomniac (Green Day album)
}}
''Insomniac'' is the fourth studio album by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released on October 10, 1995 through Reprise Records. Though it peaked at number two in the United States and went double-platinum (according to the RIAA)〔("RIAA Certificates for Insomniac" ). riaa.com.〕 by 1996, ''Insomniac'' did not have the sales endurance of its predecessor, ''Dookie'', largely due to its slightly darker lyrical tone and heavier, more abrasive sound.〔''Green Day: Behind the Music''〕 ''Insomniac'' has sold 2,100,000 copies in the US alone, according to ''Billboard'' in 2012.〔http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/481423/green-day-the-billboard-cover-story Retrieved Feb 3 2013〕 The album was reissued on vinyl on May 12, 2009.
==Background==
Before the name ''Insomniac'' was decided on, the band considered naming the album ''Tight Wad Hill'' (after track 13 on the album). After visiting collage artist Winston Smith for the album cover, Billie Joe Armstrong asked him how he managed to make such intricate pieces in such short times. Smith answered: "It's easy for me. I am an insomniac."〔. winstonsmith.com.〕 Armstrong himself has said that the album title comes from his own insomnia, after having been woken up frequently during the night due to his son's screams. Armstrong also mentions his insomnia in the song "Brain Stew".
"Panic Song" was inspired by bassist Mike Dirnt's panic attacks he has suffered as a result of being born with an enlarged mitral valve in his heart.〔Myers, 2006. p. 22〕
