Wellll.... There's the lead single off the long awaited solo album folks.

I'm trying to look at it through unbiased eyes (I.E ignoring the brilliance of the old music)....

I mean, I guess it's not bad for what it is but it's something that I certainly wouldn't spend my time listening to. It definitely has that 70's cheese factor of a song like Kiss' "Beth" or the cheesier stuff from Electric Light Orchestra or something, but without the songwriting quality.

I guess the bottom line is that Billy Corgan is just a totally different songwriter now, and his upbeat writing style that he's had since around 2004 is something that doesn't really resonate with me much.
