  1. Crucially, his knack for simple punk tunes remains unchanged; also crucially, these do fine at moderate tempos, and one even gives off a whiff of Brecht-Weill. There are worse ways to come down off a multiplatinum high-lots of them.

    Warning may not only be the most beautiful Green Day LP but also the bravest. [#48, p.93]
  3. The band's musical range has also broadened a bit.
  4. Green Day has never made a record so slick and musically mature.

    By design, the band doesn't rock as hard as it used to. Doesn't punk as hard as it used to, either. [12/2000, p.215]
  6. The once-giddy melodies now settle for midtempo jangle or novelty...
  7. 20
    Warning is the sound of three men growing old far too gracefully.

    I really love this album! Even though its not Green Day's best to date, I enjoy it for being different and fresh. When everyone wanted them toI really love this album! Even though its not Green Day's best to date, I enjoy it for being different and fresh. When everyone wanted them to just make another Dookie album and return to their roots they put out a very smart and mature record that captured what was going on with them at the time in their lives. Warning starts off with acoustic guitars and ends with a beautiful ballad. All the way this album is solid and Billie wrote some amazing lyrics for this record! Its very different from their previews albums but a great experimental album for the time! Expand

    Green Day ventures out of of the punk arena into folk rock and pop rock. The album is enjoyable and well-written. Thematically, their musicGreen Day ventures out of of the punk arena into folk rock and pop rock. The album is enjoyable and well-written. Thematically, their music remains the same but musically different. They show newfound maturity and development in their new style. "Minority" is full of 1-liners and catchy lyrics without going too pop. Expand

    While I wouldn’t call Green Day any good at experimenting, and this album feels like they heard six random songs, and decided to make an albumWhile I wouldn’t call Green Day any good at experimenting, and this album feels like they heard six random songs, and decided to make an album out of just that, I can’t help liking most of the tracks on this album. Taking Nimrod’s sound but adding a more poppy and folky touch to it, the listening experience is still a bit disjointed, but there’s still a lot of great material to be found.

    Green Day's "Dookie" was the perfect punk album, brash and completely original. Since then, they have slipped into the more comfortable Green Day's "Dookie" was the perfect punk album, brash and completely original. Since then, they have slipped into the more comfortable pop genre and decided that it's ok for all their songs to sound exactly alike. Standouts on this disk - "Minority" and the darkly intriguing "Misery" - are overshadowed by the twenty-odd minutes of crap that string them together. Don't waste your money. Expand
