Orange was orange. Records have a large warp but they sound great. GD used to rip.

Yep. Insomniac was peak. Nimrod maybe at the same level, even the b-sides. Warning was a great start for a mature Green Day as they were starting families. Then Billie walked into a hot topic during a lightning storm and a fracture in the space time continuum sent us to an alternate reality.

Seriously! More like Billy "No" Armstrong, amirite???

 

Nimrod has some bangers, but Insomniac is their last 'front-to-back-awesome' album, imo. 'Warning' hit me hard when it came out, but has faded in rotation for me over the years; still a great part of their canon. I gave up when 'American Idiot' came out 🤷‍♂️

I don't have warning but if target, Barnes and noble, Cinnabon, etc did some sort of neat variant I'd definitely get it.

 

Mine arrived and thankfully are orange.

the now defunct Adeline had warning consistently in print on fun colors for a long time... no clue what those are going for secondhand now though

Quite a bit.

ah jeez... just looked it up. didn't realize those were so pricey nowadays!

I've had my white adeline pressing for close to ten years now, so I hadn't bothered keeping up on what they're going for haha. but good to know that I could probably scrounge up some quick rent money with that if need be I guess

I remember seeing those around and thinking there was no hurry to grab one. Whoopsies.

 

One day.

I paid $34 for a copy of Warning on Translucent Green last year. They pop up for reasonable prices here and there if you're willing to wait it out and keep a close eye on the discogs pages. I just added every variant to my want list and kept a look out for the automated email from dicogs listing all your wants that popped up. I eventually got one.
