Even though it's nearly an hour, it feels like it goes by quickly and I find myself playing it at least twice each time I go to listen. Still over too fast.

But Mike is the main ingredient of The Network!? I’ve always felt he was the lead man, his singing is so “New Wave”, whereas Billie just makes the songs sound more “normal” Green Day/FBHT.

Somehow I have really started to like Popper Punk. It's addictive. The Network is probably trying to hypnotizise us with it.

Another morning... mean another day with MM2020 on shuffle.

Yesss Popper Punkers unite!

Anywaaaaayyyy.... I love this beautiful picture of Billie singing and playing a piano. Wonder what it's from. That Acoustic 4 A Cure video reminded me how much I love Billie's look there. He looks so sweet and happy and his hair, although a little ratty, is still pretty and floofy. A little bit reminiscent of his current quarantine mop. Hard to believe that was 6 years ago. He still looks exactly the same! The striped shirt is just fire! Here are more.

I watching this Prima Donna video when I spotted a wild Snoo appearance! (starts at 00:55)

bubukittyfk Never a dull moment with this birthday boy. ❤️HBD baby love

That fear of not seeing them gives me nightmares, I know how you feel. But I think that you can relax, you're on the same country and that increases your chances a lot, and Chicago is also a big city, they won't leave it behind. We have to stay positive! In my opinion, the RevRad tour was the best for everybody. Even for the band. ❤

Haven't paid too much attention to the lyrics so far on this release- has red alert been declared the color of anything?

I’ve been saying Fink is trying to hypnotise us with Popper Punk since my post on 4 Dec!

I start to think there's a subliminal message in it

Yeah, I'm wondering if he is using Respirator instead of Ventilator purposely tho. Since he seems to be a bit of an alternative facts kinda guy you know

Billie is so tiny next to Kevin aww

Yeah, you're totally right. I guess that says something about this album, huh? It really blurs the lines between Green Day and The Network (not that they're the same band, or anything). And if I had to assign a lead singer for this album, I'd say Fink. He sings lead on most of the songs. 2020 really is a Fink takeover. Okay, but the bass line on Hey Elon. *Mic drop* Boom, just changed your life.

So this is nice As is this But this....ohoho Kevin Kevin, this is a look you should bring back. Because GOOD. LORD.

It's been a long time since I wanted to put an album on shuffle every day. I love waking up every morning, startin working from home with this album in my ears. Then in the afternoon. Then when I'm drunk at night. And then you repeat every day.

Omfg, stop!

Maybe that is the magic of the song. Everyone hears what they want to. The real lyric is Arnold. Schwarzenegger. I'll be back. I'll be back. And it makes great televison watching the world end.

Ok thank you, that’s been happening to me for several days and I can’t figure it out. I think they are just very late notifications because the last stories they posted I don’t remember getting notifications at all. It’s messed up, so good to know it’s not just me I guess.

Popper Punk makes my brain feel like it's melting.That song is mind numbing. I can see how it's hypnotic. It's goes by super quickly when I spend the entire time trying to figure out why I'm still listening to it.

You make him sound like St Jimmy 😈

Yeah! There's something hypnotic about the song. Listening to a while feels like Fink is trying to put you in a trance and when you come out of it you'll be itching for some nitrate.

Am I just paranoid or i'iiiiiiiioooooooh fuck that shit

He probably did privately. I wish he’d go back to posting the things he used to. Adrienne too, I miss them both. They can turn comments off or limit them I wouldn’t care. I miss their posts.

Do you think there are any phrases that Billie has used more in his lyrics than “I got a fever” and “we’re all gonna die”?

You know when the band releases a new record and the reporter ask them "what's next?" It's a question that always bother me, BUT now that The Network is back with their new record, I hope that the Foxboro Hot Tubs do the same some day I remember being too new in the forum when their ep came out so I wasn't so aware of them, I only read the news from GDA. It would be great, they should do the Foxies again.

Maybe it's his sidejob with tech developing for Cambridge Analytica and Facebook. For the first time I really took the time to listened to the lyrics. Holy shit this album is way better 😂

Even with the 30+ full listenings of the album, the bassline of Fentanyl drives me mad still. But not the one that plays the main riff, is the one that comes after the full band enters. Truly a masterpiece.

Oh definitely, this wouldn't have felt like a Network album if it wasn't for the songs he sings.

It may be time to take off the "out friday" part of this thread. Every time I see it, I think something new is coming out. This album is old now.

I agree with you until Popper Punk. I do like it, for the exact reason I'm not supposed to? Repetitive, two words only, and it's a substance I didn't know until now and that I don't even care about. But it's fun and different. Hey, if Pizzagate and The Prophecy are considered songs too then I don't see anything wrong with this one. #lovepopperpunk

This (except I also like Last Ride In and Espionage ). Like sure you could trim the album down to the standout tracks, but all the random stuff in between makes it a trip! Wouldn't be nearly as interesting without it. If I haven't already I want to declare myself on team Popper Punk! "Amyl nitrate" said 40+ times in a dodgy cockney accent over a catchy beat? What a concept , I love it.

So it is a pretty silly question especially if they released new material not long ago, but I'll let you in on a secret...it's because they often don't know how to end the interview

Saw this on Twitter last night. Don't think I've seen it before

After hearing “amyl nitrite” repeated over and over again it now sounds like “I’m all not right” to me, which also works!

no bottle rockets in this album 😂😂

Aww shit rolling in the dough now!

What if Fink IS St. Jimmy?

new #: #popperpunkersunite

y'know? (he doesn't sing it but...y'know)

i have it playing all day long on shuffle since the release too

I don't think all 7 are on this album but I think definitely Degenerate and Art of the Deal, probably Cancer is the New Black and Threat Level Midnight, and maaaybe Jerry Falwell's Pool Party. All of those fit onto FOAM perfectly fine imo

MY HEART. ACK KEVIN.......ACK BLEH......WHEEZE...bye bye kevin *dies*

Billie Armstrong* *only shows up on picture day

It's the Wizard of Oz "oh-we-oh" part that gets me Btw who's going to do an accurate count on the number of times it says "amyl" and/or "nitrate" in Popper Punk? It goes "amyl nitrate amyl amyl nitrate nitrate amyl amyl nitrate nitrate" etc and gets even more complicated near the end so it was too confusing and I failed

Even Billie looked a bit confused like "oh okay that just happened." Billie Armstrong just sounds so weird!

Here we have the master of eyeliner, and next to him is Billie.
