Suffocate
I added Suffocate to the B-Sides, because it was released on the Warning # 2 Single, although it was recorded earlier, for nimrod.Hammer55 21:34, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Poprocks and Coke
What's the source on Poprocks and Coke being released as a non-LP B-side? I understand Maria was, but I've never heard of another version of Poprocks and Coke.
Review
I (Kingturtle 05:05, 11 May 2005 (UTC)) don't think they review fits in with the article. Wikipedia is not an album review and wouldn't a review qualify as NPOV becuase a review is someone's opinon? --Saint-Paddy 23:14, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
review
I have moved the following review from the article to TALK. please fix it here before putting it back in the article:
- I was never a Green Day fan before I heard this album. To tell you the truth, I had never actually really listened to Green Day before this album. And though Warning: was not received particularly well by the public because of its new approach (described above), this album was the one that got me into Green Day and has turned them into my favorite band of all time.
- The title track is a terrific way to begin the album. A terrific melody and great beat you can tap your foot to drives the song forward. "Warning" is all about...well, as the lyrics state, living without warning. Do everything spontaneously, and don't think of the consequences. A great song with a great message.
- "Blood, Sex, and Booze" is definitely different from tracks the band has worked with in before. It starts with a woman slapping Billie, yelling "You understand me?" And Billie responding with an, "Aww, shit." It's about kinky stuff...this may be about a time Billie and Adie were in a fight. They're in a fight, and Billie's saying, "Don't make me beg for blood, sex, and booze." In other words, the good things that his wife gives him.
- "Church on Sunday" is another cool track with a good beat and cool melody about how Billie Joe Armstrong saved his marriage. "It's a song about when you're in a long term relationship with somebody, you have to keep reinventing it, and it takes a lot of compromise," Billie said in an interview.
- "Fashion Victim" is about how everyone in America's brainwashed and will do just about anything - including pay any amount of money - just to fit in.
- As mentioned above, Warning drifts away from Green Day's punk roots. "Castaway" is about how many of Billie's punk friends will probably hate him for writing such an album.
Weasel words
- "Many speculated that Green Day had painted themselves into a corner and would be unable to return to punk music. Nonetheless, many fans hold this album in high regard as being creative, experimental, and overall musically successful."
The words "many speculated" are used to justify a personal opinion in the following two sentences. It would be better to quote a specific source that criticises the band and then a source that highly rates the album.
