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)[reply]

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.

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)[reply]

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.

"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.

I was under the impression that this was the only album NOT produced by Rob Cavallo since 1994, and I am not in the minority with this assumption, but when I went to prove it I found these sources: source one source two Does anyone have any online sources that say that Green Day were the sole producers?--Jude 07:55, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

jesus christ this was imo one of their best well all their albums are masterpieces and this didnt stray from that at all wtf? im so shocked

According to their official website and the iTunes Store, the album titles are "Warning" and "Nimrod", but Wikipedia has them as "Warning:" and "nimrod.". Shouldn't this be changed? --Muéro^(talk/c) 06:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The official names are "Warning:" and "nimrod." though for organisational purposes iTunes uses its own format.--Jude 08:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm sorry but changing the genre actually takes a debate and a general consensus. Your edits have been reverted many times now and it's because they are unhelpful to the article. Thank you for taking the issue up here on the talk page, however. Please try to Keep Your Cool, though. Please do not change the genre on the article until you have more support in this area. Your vote counts as one against the current consensus. Please be patient!--JUDE ^talk 22:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

man!! american idiot this is a pop punk record and dookie is poppunk but warning is not a punk record!!!! there is no punk! its just pop rock or pop!!! so say why is it a punkrock/alternative rock record why?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.167.239.105 (talk • contribs) 21:44, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The main reason that the genres are listed as such is because of their performance on the Alt. Rock charts. I can list a few songs that have punk rock influence on Warning:. The only compromise I'm willing to make is that it be changed from "Punk Rock" to "Pop Punk" however *never* Pop Rock or "Power Pop" which I've never even come across, to be honest.--JUDE ^talk 03:38, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The song warning is not a pop punk song! this song is playing with a acoustic guitar! there is no e-guitar!
