Listen to The Vigil and then listen to Walking Shade. Billy seems to have come full circle.

One thing I've heard is that Billy said that he's gone back to playing more of an effects-based guitar playing that he played when he was younger (ie. before SP).

I'll have to go back and listen to Vigil

Walking Shade = New Wave = Early Pumpkins

I totally agree.

Walking Shade = Total bullshit (compared to pumpkin songs) = Has nothing to do with the pumpkins = end of story

lol

Next time anyone wants to bring up comparisons to Walking Shade and The Smashing Pumpkins, please staple this statement to your forehead.

When I first hear it it did sound like a pre-gish song with more production and Billy's new vocal stylings, but that feeling only lasted about 30 seconds
