Warning (Green Day) 5

So, this was one of the lesser known, or cared for, Green Day albums. But, I think it is a very great album. I find it as one of their better albums, next to Dookie and 21st Century Breakdown. So, allow me to go in depth with you to review this album.

1. Warning (9/10) Not one of my favorite songs, but a good one, nevertheless. A good way to kick start an album. People don't seem to think that Green Day could have topped this song on this album, but there are better to come.
2. Blood, Sex and Booze (9/10) Such a kinky and catchy tune! It's like one catch to another hook. You wont see it coming the first time around.
3. Church On Sunday (10/10) I'm not promoting anything, but this song is so good, I did a cover of it. It is another catchy song, but has a different message than the others. Fun song!
4. Fashion Victim (8/10) I never really got into this song until the 4th or 5th listen. Now, I find it funny that I didn't like it sooner.
5. Castaway (8/10) Sadly, I never gotten into this song... I haven't listened to it in a while, so maybe I will think differently next time around.
6. Misery (10/10) Oh yes... That is all I have to say is that. The song is completely different than the rest of the album, making it so odd. Then the kick of the song comes along that you never see coming. It reminds me of "Peacemaker" from 21st Century Breakdown.
7. Deadbeat Holiday (9/10) A fun jam to listen to. Sadly, I never liked it until my... 11th listen. But hey. Not everything is good the first 10 times around.
8. Hold On (7/10) An okay song, but even if this song is about death, it doesn't feel like so... The only disappointing song on the album.
9. Jackass (10/10) Another song I covered. So hooky and catchy, you wouldn't think Green Day, or even Billie Joe wrote this song. Sends a nice message basically saying that being a fool isn't always a good thing.
10. Waiting (10/10) Another song that you wouldn't expect for this album. A song that simply says "Do not give up on that dream that you have had for so long, because that opportunity might hit you someday." will usually get a 10 in my book.
11. Minority (10/10) I knew this song was on the album, but near the end? Oh well. I like the way it is written. It is a song against authority, like what Green Day is. Against all major authority. They don't care about the rules, they just want to play.
12. Macy's Day Parade (10/10) A very touchy song... All that you want you might not get is what this song feels like it is based around. A nice way to end the album. I wish that there was more...

Oh wait. Did I forget that I accidentally got the UK version? So there IS one more song.

13. 86 (Live in Prague) (8/10) Originally from Insomniac, this exclusive live version isn't as good as the original. But it is still as energetic as the original...

Okay, so maybe I didn't get the UK version... But I felt it should have been included...

So that wraps up another review on another album. Please pick this up wherever it is sold, since I almost didn't get it.

Listed as like new condition, this was false, CD had several scratches on it and the graphics were faded from being in the sun, like it had been stored in one of those automobile visor cd files

Warning by Green Day was the follow-up album to Nimrod. Warning has a lot of different sounds, very mature music but the immature lyrics are still intact (that's a good thing). Billy Joe Armstrong has such a unique voice, and his songwriting still amazes me. Warning, Waiting, Minority, and Macy's Day Parade are some of the standouts. I just wish this album was a little more consistent but still worth buying, enjoy!

Warning (Green Day) 5

This is, by far, my favorite album of Green Day. My favorite song of theirs, Fashion Victim, is included on this album. Something about Green Day's upbeat and "catchy," lyrics really draws me in and away from all the other punks bands that our out their, including Nirvana and The Sex Pistols, Green Day is a new sound of punk with its own twist.
That twist is pop, and Green Day is the best pop punk band out there. Forget Blink 182, New Found Glory and Rancid. They are spin-offs of when Green Day released Dookie, and they can't hold a candle to them.
But if you are getting into Green Day for the first time, don't buy this album, rather buy three of their earliest albums: 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, Kerpunk! and Dookie. And don't buy American Idiot just because it was the hit album of 2004 or Bullet In A Bible (released in 2005) just yet, start out with the best of Green Day/Sweet Children.
I love the tracks of this album, particularly Warning and Minority, and the slow and easy Macy's Day Parade. Hold On is awesome and Misery is that hardcore, darker "bad-boy," side of Green Day nicely portrayed.
Church on Sunday, Castaway, Jackass, and Deadbeat Holiday are fast and really upbeat.
Waiting and Blood, Sex and Booze are slow but are fast at times and are some of the best of this album.

I was going back and filling in the blanks of my music collection. I heard Minority on the radio and thought this album might not be too bad. I was mistaken. Only the last 3 tracks sound like Green Day songs. Overall, the lyrics are OK, but the songs sound too poppy. "Warning/ Live without warning" isn't very creative for a chorus. Saxophone rock-out solo? This is Green Day, right? (see Jackass) Just get the Minority single and leave the rest of the album for someone else's library.

Green Day is the one male mascara band that I can take seriously. Warning flew under the mainstream radar when it came out at the start of the millennium, though I think the title track would have been a big radio staple if released today, admist their recent grammy-winning revival. If you like modern rock, Warning will please.

I actually like this album. I wouldn't go as far to say it is their best album ever but, definitely not bad at all. I have been a fan of this band for well over a decade and can't really say that I dislike any of there albums. I don't care what anyone says about this band, they have been around for 20 years now and have earned the respect they deserve. Anyway, for those who say they are sell outs...YOU'D DO THE SAME THING!!!!!!!!!!! P.S.- Check out their newest album American Idiot...SOOOOOOOOO good!!! :)

This is my favourite Green Day album ever! The reason I think it tops the other albums is because this displayed a more mature Green Day, less punkish, which I really like! Besides all songs in this album are total hits! You gotta like every song that's in it. Unlike the previous albums who had 2 or 3 extreme hits and the rest were just fillers... Great Work!!!

This CD is pretty good, I think. The album is lacking in a lot of songs, it's a bit to un-punked for me, but its still really cool. I don't think that this album is going to recieve the creative recognition it deserves, but I think that the next Green Day album will be a little more punkish. I would consider this album a combination of Alt-Rock, Punk, and Pop-Rock. Overall, I consider it a rad album, but if it was punked up a little bit more (like Dookie or Nimrod) it would totally kick ass.

Warning is my favorite CD. I take it with me everywhere I go. In the car, in the office, and I play it at partys. This album is way different from any previous green day album. It has a lot of different genres. It sounds like punk, rock, pop, classic rock and everything between. If you want a band that kicks ass and gives out candy, green day is the band.

If VH1 new anything about music, they would've ranked this CD as number one on their greatest albums of the century list. I totally agree with everyone who gave this album five stars. It is so awsome and everytime you listen to it you feel better. Green Day is my favorite and should be yours too. Go and buy yourself a copy.

This is the greatest album ever. If you don't own this CD, go out and buy it. Green Day are the greatest band on the planet. Every song is awsome. Even the lyrics are great. If it wasn't for Green Day, the world would come to an end. Thank yourself for being alive blah blah blah.

This is my favorite band. They are the true meaning of the word punk. I recently saw them in Houston and I must say, "I had the time of my life." This album is a change for them. I cant listen to it enough. They made the way for bands like Blink 182 and SR71. Lets not forget, Green Day has been making music like those guys since the late 80s, so stop trying to rip off the original!
