Money Money 2020 is the debut studio album by new wave band The Network, a side project of the band Green Day. It was released on September 30, 2003, through Adeline Records. Members of Green Day have denied being involved in the Network, however, Mike Dirnt revealed that they had a hand in the album.[7] It was the band's only release for seventeen years until they returned in 2020 with a sequel album entitled Money Money 2020 Part II: We Told Ya So!.
Background
After the release of Green Day's sixth studio album Warning (2000) and its mixed commercial performance,[8] the band started work on their next album. This follow-up album started to be recorded in 2003 and was intended to be named Cigarettes and Valentines.[9] The master tapes were stolen, however, and the band decided to scrap the project and start over.[10] In between Cigarettes and Valentines and the release of American Idiot in 2004, Money Money 2020 was recorded some time in the summer of 2003.[citation needed]
It was originally speculated by some reviewers[11] that Cigarettes and Valentines eventually became Money Money 2020. This rumour, however, was repeatedly denied and debunked by Billie Joe Armstrong.[12]
Release
Money Money 2020 was officially released on September 30, 2003 through Adeline Records. Upon release, the album came with a DVD that featured seven music videos for the songs "Supermodel Robots", "Joe Robot", "Hungry Hungry Models", "Love and Money", "Spike", "Transistors Gone Wild", and "Roshambo".[13] In 2004, The Network released another DVD containing live concert footage and the previous music videos, entitled Disease is Punishment.[14] On July 25, 2015, the band released the DVD onto YouTube.[15]
On November 9, 2004, the album was re-released by Reprise Records. This release did not include the DVD, but it did include two additional tracks, "Teenagers from Mars" and "Hammer of the Gods". The song "Roshambo" was featured in the video game NHL 2005,[16] and "Teenagers from Mars" was featured in the video game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland.[17] The album was later released on vinyl by Adeline Records in 2011 and 2015, but only featured the 12 tracks from the original release. In 2022, it was announced that the album would be repressed once again, this time including the two bonus tracks. This release was exclusive to 1-2-3-4 Go! Records, a record store in Oakland, California.[18][19]
