I can't believe nobody speculated any activity from the Network up until now, given what year it is... considering how much we speculate in the years leading up to an album release. :P 

I have been felling really dumb since Billie posted his stories *facepalm*

The Ultimate Test could legit be up there in the alternative charts. It would almost make you kind of sad that it's not released as Green Day. It has the potential to be their 3rd big break.

 

Basing this on nothing of course, but it sounds like the fresh new thing GD needs.

That’s what I was thinking. If they deserve to have a more widely heard hit I’d like to see them get one

I don't think it's that good. It's very generic and the hook is fine but not great. Everyone on here thinks every new song could be a hit.

Apparently we’re not allowed to say that I guess or we’re idiots

Never said idiots. Just that it's easy to be reactionary when we're excited.

Were you not around when FOAM was released? People genuinely needed time to let it grow on them.

As for being generic, that's exactly why it could make the top charts. The charts are full of generic shit.

You've heard FOAMF, right? Lol, when that came out, no one thought that album could be a hit. 

And we still think that now.

I like everything we heard so far, but at the moment I really love the prophecy in its simplicity and weirdness :D 
The ultimate test is definetly a grower, I love hearing this sound coming from Gre... ehm, the Network, but my first impression was “a bit too long”. That said, it might be that I am just not used anymore to these 4+ minutes songs, after a few listens I am already enjoying it more.

Does anyone remember when all the MOOTIK speculation was going on, Butch Walker posted an instagram post about what projects he was working on and one of them was a "silly concept album" or something along those lines. Could that be this Network album? 

Can't find the post anymore.

I think that was his own album. Didn't he recently release a "rock opera"?

Oh I’m pretty sure we have speculated about the Network due to the 2020 thing, could have been months ago.  Check with @That Dude, I’ll be he was in on it 😂😂😘😘

Yes, I am in The Network.

It's me, Nicolas Cage, John Roeker, Avril Lavigne and Samuel L Jackson.  We all got really bored one day in 2003 and figured what the heck.  :)

Yeah, I don't know if I posted anything about it being the year of The Network, but I have definitely thought about it. 

I wonder if this is what Billie meant when he said they may do more than one record this year.

I wonder if they were recording Green Day tunes and it shifted or they knew going in this would be The Network.

imo the ultimate test is a good song, but (imo) not as good as many of you described it here

sidenote, i personally love the trilogy when most of the people didnt really dig the trilogy .. and i think foam is not as bad as many people think 😅🙂

Posted on reddit too but thinking out loud...

I wonder if they couldn’t get off warner, they had GD material saved up, so released some as the network as a fuck you to warner. This sounds way more GD than the other network songs ever did

This one is fucking epic, reminds even if it was not needed why it’s such a great thing to be a GD fan 😂
