History Music / Warning

Considering this drastic style change, critics were fairly polarized between commending the new direction and being blindsided by one of the most proudly apathetic bands of their time now making accessible songs of faith and hope. However, in the years following, ''Warning:'' has received its share of the VindicatedByHistory treatment, with many concurring that the album was awfully overlooked.

''Warning'' (stylized as ''WARNING:'') is the sixth studio album by American punk rock band Music/GreenDay, released in October 2000.

Their previous effort, ''Music/{{Nimrod}}'' (1997), saw a break from the band's regular formula to create [[GenreRoulette more diverse]] music. This experimentation was built upon by ''Warning:'', which almost entirely eschewed the band's established punk rock sound, emphasizing acoustic elements with bits of other genres like {{folk|Music}} with [[LighterAndSofter more optimistic and inspirational thematic material]].

It is, however, the band's first major-label album to not receive platinum status. It is certified gold by the RIAA and has sold 1.2 million copies as of December 2012.

* NewSoundAlbum: ''Warning'' was much more upbeat and poppy than their previous albums, especially when compared to ''Insomniac'', their darkest output.

* PrecisionFStrike: ''Warning'' was Green Day's cleanest mainstream release, with only two F-bombs in "Minority" in this repeated line:

->''"''Warning'' may not be an innovative record per se, but it's tremendously satisfying; it finds the band at a peak of songcraft and performance, doing it all without a trace of self-consciousness. It's the first great pure pop album of the new millennium."''
