Which album features the song 'Brain Stew'?

The song “Brain Stew” appears on Green Day’s 1995 album Insomniac. It is the album’s tenth track and leads directly into “Jaded,” the eleventh track, creating one of the band’s best-known song transitions.

Insomniac was Green Day’s fourth studio album and followed the enormous success of Dookie. Released on October 10, 1995, it has a darker, heavier, and more abrasive sound than its predecessor. “Brain Stew” reflects that mood through lyrics about sleeplessness, anxiety, and drug use.

The song was released as part of the joint single “Brain Stew / Jaded” in April 1996. The two tracks were recorded as separate songs but were designed to flow together. This pairing can cause confusion, especially because some releases and performances treat them almost like one continuous composition.

The other options belong to different Green Day albums: Dookie includes “Basket Case,” Nimrod includes “Good Riddance,” and Warning includes its title track. “Brain Stew,” however, is firmly associated with Insomniac.
