Apparently it's the tenth anniversary of Zeitgeist today
 

the SPfreaks page on Facebook reminded me

but who cares

That means Billy has been going full cringe for 10 years now.

it didn't really come out on 7/7/7

yes, good way to put it

this doomsday clock
ticking in my heart

not broken

is everyone afraid

is everyone ashamed

-- smashing pumpkins 2007-present

really though this is pretty kickass



this is really good



as is this



shame about all the other shit

the production on pomp is fucking horrendous but you also have to respect corgan for putting that out to close his huge, burn the lies off your soul, rock comeback album

or he's a fucking moron

Never forget:



I tend to look at the era as Bill's last gasp of good songwriting filtered through a metric shit ton of bad production choices. A fair few enjoyable numbers on the album and residency shows, but everything done haphazardly.

Yeah but when you have to cherry pick the good stuff that's the problem

it seems like way longer than ten years ago


not sure what that says about my mental state

I can admit to you guys I didn't know the doomsday clock was actually real, until recently

currently set at two and a half minutes to midnight :rockon:

The only song I enjoy unreservedly is Stellar.

CHICKEN IN MY HEART

shout out to MA BELLE

That song had so much more balls live early. Shame about the production and vocals on record. It's like a retard mixed it.

that Stellar guitar tone is so fucking delicious though

Thinking on it, this was the last good song put out under name Smashing Pumpkins.

This entire session is really great, especially in headphones. I always thought they sounded like a cyber garage band here. Such a huge sound performed by a band wearing hospital scrubs.

to my perhaps flawed recollection, that woozy effect crept in around adore (see: blank page) and became more frequent during live machina

despite these prior appearances, i associate it almost exclusively with the emotional and tonal frigidity of zeitgeist, when it seemed ubiquitous

thanks a lot, jeff

never heard of it

stellar is DYING for butch siamese dream vocals. "the wait hurts worse" parts sounds awful

Wee wee wee wee wee wee wee

The last decent Pumpkins song...

one of the worst song

Only 10 years since the height of Billy using amphetamines and dropping consonants and singing about gotta dick and snakes alive

i think it's a grain delay or something like that.
the only guitar part i can think of in Blank Page right now just sounds like it's deeply chorused.

YES
