I like this. The vocals are solid here.....would've made a better closer than Anti-Hero

I was listening to the Joe Perry Rocks autobio read by joe perry of aerosmith (lol) and apparently the DeLeo bros of STP co-wrote and ghost-wrote a shit-ton of material for other bands in the 90s including aerosmith.

Easily the most annoying vocal melody to come out of Billy in 10 years.

Yep. Fucking half-baked. I thought with the album so short there'd be some quality here. Guess not.

I like it, but I can understand why people don't. Every song on MTAE is incredibly repetitious lyrically. Especially with this one, it's like he decided to sing one word or phrase in as many ways as he could. Which is fine, but he also did that with Run2me.

It's like this record is so intentionally lowbrow and dumbed down Pumpkins, I dunno if it's some weird cynical intentional thing he's doing or what

I cancelled my preorder, this is just not worth it. I'll buy the 3 good songs on the album individually and run the rest through spotify.

I'm really disappointed that there's less guitar/drum driven songs, but I also understand that those aren't as popular these days. At least I don't have to feel duped on album release day...

i mean

Quote:
Diagnostic criteria for the Dorian Gray Syndrome.

Excessive preoccupation with the outward appearance (body dysmorphic disorder)
Imaginary or minimal defects in externalmorphology causing embarrassment and social reclusiveness (narcissistic regression)
Along with excessive worry about one's external appearance there is a strong desire to preserve one's youthfulness in order not to grow older – as it were, swimming against the current of time (denial of the maturation process).
This is pretty common probably

This brings back memories.

How very apt, it even has the word June.

I realise that there's a lot that I'm not hearing due to the mutilated mp3-radiostream-youtube sound, but the synths actually sound quite interesting here, like a bright and sunny Adore era track.

Definitely agree with whoever said that MTAE is lyrically repetitive.

Dorian, Doria-a-a-a-a-an, Dorian

What does it mean?

Really like this. Sounds like something from TheFutureEmbrace. Much better than Run2Me and Antihero.
