I just don't know why billie would be acknowledging The Ultimate Test in the same breath as instagram @thenetwork, since the latter is very clearly for real. So since he's treating both the same, why wouldn't the former be too? 1 Quote

My guess was "darko" as in donnie darko, since the MOOTIK leak had winks to movie characters and stuff. i figured maybe they're trying to play on that and give us more stuff to pour over and dissect Quote

Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted October 31, 2020 Popular Post Posted October 31, 2020 Also someone on reddit made a good point that if TUT were fan made, Billie would not be allowed to play it, they are not allowed to accept fan submissions for that reason in case they release music and are later accused of plagiarism. So just playing it shows it is them. He also denied it in the same sentence as saying we are not the network which is knowingly untrue so it is all the same lie. As for it not sounding like the other songs, neither did Roshambo. I argued earlier that because Roshambo was originally a Green Day song it had a different feel from the rest of the Network stuff. Still released by The Network though. According to the original leak notes, TUT was recorded last February and was likely also an intended GD song so that explains the different sound but I believe it will still be part of this project. The added voice sample in the bridge seems like an element added to make it fit more with the new wave sound. 5 1 Quote

Just gave the song the 24 hour test, still equally in love. I can’t imagine trying to explain what’s going on to my 1994 self when I found Dookie and was hooked permanently. “Son, in 26 years you’ll be used to them releasing great music all the time to the point where it seems like something to take for granted. But it’s not. And they’ll continually release an incredible song by surprise when you need it most throughout your whole life. They’ll do this in your teenage years when you’re dejected, in your twenties when you’re struggling with the challenges of young adulthood, and when you’re 40 and trying to raise young kids in a pandemic”. WTF? How lucky are we?! 3 4 Quote
That Dude Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 I have a record player now, so I am fully prepared for this to only be available on vinyl. Also, we have been so sarcastic about this band, it's hard to tell what's real and what is fake. I am starting to think this is not Green Day. Quote

To me it sounds more like he’s just telling the truth, the real truth that is already in front of all of us. He doesn’t know who the Network are, he is not part of the Network, stop bothering him. These are the facts, there’s no way to challenge the real truth 2 4 Quote
PluckyJokerhead Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 After listening multiple times and also using some plugins in DAW to isolate the vocals a bit (barely), I'm thinking more and more that the majority of this is Jason singing. The chorus is likely all of them layered (Mike, Billie, Jason) layered which is why it sounds so familiar yet confusing. Also of course the quality of the recording isn't that great. Quote
Clockwise Posted November 1, 2020 Posted November 1, 2020 Well the thing is though... He does know who The Network is! He's known them for 17 years in fact. So I find it telling that he seems to recognize The Prophecy as The Network but not The Ultimate Test. Quote

Within the binary codes of this album exist the keys to our past, present, and future DNA! The Gods are laughing & it’s up to you to prove them wrong... You're welcome... The Network The Church of Lushotology is in session and it’s time to drink up! " In October 2020, after 15 years of inactivity, the band released a teaser trailer entitled "The Prophecy". In the video's description, the band announced the release of their forthcoming project Money Money 2020 Part II" Wikipedia knows all. Quote
