Rating: THE REVIEW
In 2000 after "Nimrod" the Green Day return with "Warning".
This album has been underrated by most of the critics, but only by listening to it can one understand the actual value of the work.
The CD opens with the tracklist "Warning", an underrated track, but if listened to with calm and care, reveals itself as a pearl, capable of giving great emotions and especially great energy. From "Warning" itself, it's clear that the album is very different from its predecessors, pure punk rock, whereas this work hides a pop soul that is the real highlight of the album. In this experimentation, Green Day is much reminiscent of the Clash, who owe their success precisely to their blending of genres.
Going back to the album, the second track we find is the energetic "Blood, Sex And Booze", which captivates you by being engaging and rhythmically perfect. The CD continues with "Church On Sunday", a fast and fun track that leans much more towards pop than punk. We continue with "Fashion Victim", perhaps reminiscent of?? Versace's death. The fifth track is "Castaway", followed by the masterpiece "Misery", which is anything but punk. The song is a well-played orchestra that could be performed at a party given its tango style. After this masterpiece, there are less brilliant pieces until we reach the grand finale with "Minority", undoubtedly the best track, the most punk of all, followed by "Waiting", another excellent track, much closer to punk than pop, and finally closing with the beautiful "Macy's Day Parade", in short, the album's hidden and misunderstood gem. A sad and slow piece, yet it releases many emotions. Truly beautiful.
In the end, "Warning" is an excellent album, one of Green Day's most accessible that has been significantly underrated by critics and the public... listen to it and you will understand the reasons for so much enthusiasm.

After the hodgepodge of genres that was "Nimrod," you might have wondered which genre Green Day would pursue: rock, the usual pop punk, ska, acoustic ballads? Well, the answer lies in this "Warning:" pop rock.
"Macy’s Day Parade" follows in the footsteps of "Time Of Your Life" with a few additional elements earning it the title of the best song on the album, and perhaps also of the discography, of the Californians.

This is the definitive proof that Green Day has nothing to do with punk.
The real mistake of this album was to put the best tracks in the second half making the first half absolutely boring and predictable.
