If it makes you feel any better, I can't think of any Smashing Pumpkins album reviews I've read where Billy's lyrics were praised, dating back to SP1.
I think most music critics have always snubbed his lyrics as being too "high school diary"/"teen poetry".
Having discovered the pumpkins when I was in high school, it never really bothered me. But yeah, on MTAE, the lyrics seemed to have devolved even further.
