The whole LP was recorded in 1995 only.
The US/UK version was released in autumn 1995 on Reprise Records.
The video version of "Brianstew" was merged to "Jaded." Well, that's it...

Radiohead also has an Insomniac, which is, in my humble opinion, a much better album. At least a disambiguation ... Danny
- Are you sure you're not thinking of Amnesiac? According to the All Music Guide, Radiohead never released an album called Insomniac, though I think there may be a song by Radiohead by that name Tokerboy 02:18 Oct 31, 2002 (UTC)
Whoops! Thats what happens when I am exhausted. sorry. Danny
[edit] Purpose of Talk pages
Article discussion (Talk) pages are for discussing the article, not for fan cruft, which has a place on fan forums, not on Wikipedia (re: user 68.212.202.77, edit reverted). Postings on article pages should be appended with four tildes ~~~~ for automatic time-date stamp and user IP/ID. Hu 23:16, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Subjectivity
Some of this article seems to me to state subjective information, such as:
- Insomniac didn't have the sales endurance of its predecessor, Dookie, largely due to its slightly darker lyrical tone and more abrasive sound. Though many consider Insomniac to be more consistent than Dookie, it did not feature a signature track akin to "Longview" or "Basket Case".

I agree. also, I wonder where the 7 Million sold in the US come from. since according to riaa.com it went only 2x Platinum, and while they probably have shipped some more since Feb 96, when it was last awarded, I really doubt that that makes 5 million units.
[edit] Is the "Fanfare" Part Necessary?
"Insomniac is a major failiure, noted for not featuring a number one hit. Kerplunk!" and 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours each had three. Nimrod. also did not feature a number one hit, but featured arguably the band's biggest commercial hit, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)."
That doesn't seem to be very neutral to me, yo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.226.30 (talk) 01:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
