Released: November 20, 2020

Money Money 2020 Part II: We Told Ya So! is the second studio album by American new wave band The Network, a side-project featuring the members of Green Day. It was released on December 4, 2020, and was their first new album after seventeen years, following several weeks of subtle teases by the band via social media and several music videos from the promotional EP, Trans Am.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

Background

The Network gained a small cult following among Green Day fans during their brief initial period of activity. They released their debut album Money Money 2020, as well as playing a few small club shows in 2003 before becoming inactive until October 2005 where they opened for Green Day as part of their American Idiot World Tour.

The band would then go on a fifteen-year hiatus, re-emerging in October 2020 with a YouTube video entitled "The Prophecy".^[6] In the weeks following, a music video was released for the lead single "Ivankkka Is a Nazi." On November 19, 2020, the band released an EP entitled Trans Am, which would feature four songs from the then-upcoming album.^[7] Following the EP's release, the band would reveal the albums title and artwork.^[8] In the week leading to the albums release, the band uploaded a video each day to their social media accounts, featuring a snippet of each of the albums songs. Money Money 2020 Part II: We Told Ya So! was released on all streaming platforms on December 4, 2020, along with a pre-order for the album on vinyl and CD as well.^[9]

Promotion

Members of Green Day started reporting via social media accounts that their accounts were being hacked by members of the Network in October 2020, with the Church of Lushotology logos being posted on their accounts, and that of Billie Joe Armstrong's side project The Longshot (band). Green Day would continue their denial of being involved with the Network over the next few weeks while social media accounts for the Network started to appear and post teasers.

On February 27th 2021, The Network would perform their song "Threat Level Midnight" on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.^[10] While announced as the Network, Jimmy Fallon and Questlove would repeatedly hint at the band being Green Day during the show.

Track listing

The vocals for all songs are performed by their respective writer's alter ego: Billie Joe Armstrong as Fink, Mike Dirnt as Van Gough, and Tré Cool as The Snoo, except for "Pizzagate", which is instrumental, and "Cancer Is the New Black", where both Armstrong and Dirnt perform the vocals.^[11]
