The Network is back!

[tdlyon]

I feel like they're gonna do a profile on each of the members like they started today and when that's done we'll get an announcement

It sounds very much like Panicland.

Those strained waves throughout notes in the vocals are typical Braedon, like in MOOTIK. Plus the entire style of the song, the chorus mainly, don't sound like anything Billie has ever done nor sound like the Green Day/The Network style.

I'm gonna say this one sounds rather Canadian to me. If Panicland are doing this on their own, I'm stopping to support their asses because it's just sad at this point to keep mining a dug-up mine.

I’m honestly blown away that nothing has changed here since 2007, I remember when people were saying FBHT had nothing to do with Green Day because it “didn’t sound anything like BJ”....TUT sounds like Billie singing with major compression, ala everything pre-Trilogy, and Are You Listening is even clearer that it’s him.

Christ, why is everything assumed to be Panicland now?

I dunno, because Are You Listening is typical Panicland trying to fake Billie's stuff? Of course this is just my initial opinion, nobody here can know for sure.

I'm still in the camp that TUT sounds real though.

[green day is]

"Are You Listening" is very very clearly an attempt to fuck with us, no matter what its origin.

Demos/leaks don't sound like that anymore. Nothing recorded in 2020 sounds like that. Nothing recorded in 2015 would sound like that. You can buy a $30 knock-off tablet from a Chinese scam site and it'll have a better mic than that. When I was a kid I would record with the PS3 Eye-Toy because it was the only USB mic I had, it sounded clearer than that. The quality is really obviously degraded on purpose. It also doesn't match The Network's style at all, whereas TUT is at worst Network-adjacent.

I think it's still possible that it's Billie singing as a scratch track, because it does sound like him in many of the "uncontrollable" ways pointed out before. It sounds to me like they way he might sing a scratch track. But I also think whoever owns that channel is messing with us on purpose. Maybe TUT wasn't the only leak/demo they have and they're trying to capitalize on the hype even though TUT was the only actual Network track they had.

You’ve forgotten the most obvious thing here: leaks can be uploaded in shitty quality. Just as TUT was...it’s been used in a Network “propaganda” video. 

Or someone has recorded them listening to it in the studio ect.

Next, Green Day arent stupid; could they have done exactly that on purpose to throw people off? It’s worked, hasn’t it? It’s legit.

Next.

I hope we hear a full version of Tarantula soon!

I have a new theory: what if The Ultimate Test is indeed fake and it's no The Network track, because... it's a Green Day track? 😏

The fuck do the facefucks from Green Day have in common with our saviors from The Network?

See, you would never think that this is true because it's so far away from logical arguments, that's how it works 😌

I'm not buying it. Fuck Green Day

[Little Boy Named Booze]

After a nice night of sleep I can see we're still wondering if it's fake or real.

[Boobooo]

I'm so perplexed. Not sure why people can't hear Billie in TUT and Are You Listening. To me it's clearly not Panicland, no offense to them but the full MOOTIK songs sound nothing like Green Day to me and Braedon just sounds like an extremely over-exaggerated Billie. 

These two songs on the other hand, I just have this gut instinct that it's Billie based on intonations of his and the way he pronounces words.  I'm still in the minority club here and I'm still dying on this hill. Whether these songs are demos or something I'm not sure, they sound like they probably are. And the fact they were removed by Warner is telling. 

EDIT: Also, again, no offense to Panicland, but the structure of the MOOTIK songs was fairly amateur. Green Day arrange their songs in a certain way and these new tracks fit that typical Green Day song structure for me.

I don’t think that’s a new theory, I think we’ve already been round that one, could there be a new GD record in the works too?

No please I don't want foam era to be over already. I want the HMT first!!

[That Dude]

Songs for A holes.  

In masks.

On Ice.

You acronym loving people will have your SIOY.

I feel like there is a lot of material completed and the guys are nearly bursting at the seems to release it.  Heck, Fink looks a bit thick in the new video. 

They have a ton of material but are weary of dropping multiple albums at once.  They are in a creative season, but want to savor it and allow us to savor it.

Maybe you need multiple bands to do that.  

Sounds like Fink and Co are going in a more radio friendly direction and that's okay.

Maybe Green Day will destroy pop punk this time around.

If it's Panicland again, then they are fuckin douchebags. Actually they already were in the first place. 

What a pathetic way of promoting your band, by intentionaly copying 90 percent of Green Day sound in the first place, and then go step ahead and sell it to fan forum as Green Day, or even worse, their side project. Despite their musical career probably won't be any bigger than this, it's still such a shameful and pathetic fact a band can have in their resume.

And they're not even that great. 

[That Dude]

Guys, can we pause the forum until I got off work.

I will be home at 5:20pm.

I am worried a whole album or three might drop while I am doing dumb work stuffs.

It can't be Panicland. The songs sound just too good to be them imo. The clips of MOOTIK had me excited, but the full songs were massively underwhelming for me. 

These full demos or whatever though have me very hyped.

Hopefully, but I'm quite optimistic that they recorded at least some demos sind the lockdowns.
