yet another boring review....
CONS:
Songs sound like rough sketches, are all over the place thematically, and have a very raw sound, they could have put a little more thought into each section of the compositions.
The Billy choruses. While not a bad idea on paper, and something that Billy has done before, the multi vocal tracks just sound WRONG and awkward.
The super metallic sounding and overly LOUD production. Worst guitar sound of any Pumpkins album, but.....
PROS:
Billy shreds on this. The last time we have heard any quality solos on an SP album.
Jimmy shreds. He's in top form, but again marred by bizzare production choices.
I feel like this album was pretty experimental, as far as guitar tones/effects used/weird shit in the background.
Ultimately, this is an SP record. It has all the obvious quirks and earmarks of every other release, it's just seems like they gave more of a shit about the idea of the song than the actual nuts and bolts composition.
