"Insomniac" celebrates its 15th anniversary

The album It was released on October 10, 1995 through Reprise Record. Though it reached number two in the United States and went 2x platinum, The album is the band's third-best selling album behind Dookie and American Idiot with sales at over 8 million worldwide and 2,076,000 copies in the US alone.

Before the name Insomniac, the band considered the naming the album "Tight Wad Hill" (after the 13th track of the album). After visiting Collage artist Winston Smith for the album cover, Billie Joe asked him how he managed to make such intricate pieces in such short times. 

Smith answered, "It's easy for me. I am an insomniac." 

Armstrong himself has said that the album title comes from his own insomnia, after having been woken up frequently during the night due to his baby's screams.

The collage on the album cover was created by Winston Smith and is called "Gold Told Me To Skin You Alive", a reference to the "Dead Kennedys" song "I Kill Children". The cover art features several hidden images: a naked woman, 3 fairies, and several other ghostly faces in the flames.
