Default I truly believe Billy needs mental help!

Ive listened to Ogilala 3 times. It's worse than awful.
His god awful vibrato is painfulla and it just sounds like a b-side album from American Gothic and the train wreck that is If All Goes Wrong. Does he genuinely believe people want to hear this garbage? Who does he think his audience actually is? The deaf?! I'm done with him.

What is this a school for ants?

But chill, mate. Oligaga is going down pretty well around here. It's better than American Gothic, All Goes Wrong, TbK, MTAE, Oceania.

You say b-side like some of his best songs weren't on the MCIS singles. If nothing else, Archer is a magnificent little b-side.

yeah it's also better than Zeitgeist. in other words, it's better than anything he's done since at least 2005, and yeah i'll ******* Mary Star and FutureEmbrace and say this is easily the best thing he's done since SP1 split in 2000.

now you are just taking the piss. how is any of this better than Zwan?

did all of you praising this as "good album" have so extremely low expectations that a solid shit deserves praise because you thought you'd hear liquid diarrhea? this isn't a good album. if all it takes to have an album called "good" around here is to be more listenable than the last 4 shit albums, okay, great.

all 3 songs he came up with in recent years that didn't make it on this album are better than any song on it.

Chad Kroeger could take a steaming dump with Avril Lavigne doing backing vocals and it would sound better than Zwan

I'm with ya man. It really is shit... Pretty much on the same level as the band Train or something like that.

I can't say I'm done with him though. Every time I think I am he'll release something that I dig... But yeah, I'm getting a little tired of the overly positive christian-rock sounding shit.

Haha yes! Thank you! I feel like I'm losing my mind when I read some of the praise for this stinker.

At best it has like 2 alright-good songs, the rest is garbage.

I think Netphorias just getting soft.

Man... Not to hop on a Took bandwagon or anything. But I was continuously listening to Ogilala, trying to let it sink in, thinking I'd appreciate it and later that night saw Boris live in concert. It was really the kind of eye-opener I needed at the moment....

The thought that came to me the next day: "why am I giving utter crap like this so much attention when there's so much other music out there begging to be listened to"

Expand your horizons folks.... Trying to convince yourself to like some formerly great artists shitty new music isn't going to do you any good!

the delusion was when he said "people have listened to it and told me it's the most beautiful thing I've ever done". Yes, those people are idiots, but billy's retarded (like his brother jesse ) for believing them. Guess it runs in his family.

Not surprising though. He probably surrounds himself with brown-nosers who treat every new song he makes as genius. I assume Linda Strawberry plays a role like that in his life.

One things for sure, he sure doesn't seem to have any desire to break new ground. Ogilala is the ultimate sound of stagnation.

Let's not forget that Billy's mom was in a mental home...

Draw your own conclusions from that.

what kind of meds do you guys think he's taking? There's no way I wouldn't want to just kill myself if I wasn't billy corgan.

what are the odds that his mom suicided herself? they say it was cancer, but that doesn't mean she didn't end it herself.

obviously most of us got into sp at a formative time in our lives and have followed corgan for like 20+ years and it's not really about the music anymore. it's like keeping up with an old friend when he comes into town every couple years, you know? and since we were going to see him anyway it's good that he's not a homeless crackhead giving $2 blowjobs (the equivalent of monuments)

So it's wrong to be racist misogynistic homophobic etc but it is ok to mock handicapped and mentally ill people?

Most of live Zwan was better than Ogi. That is a given.

Mary Star, though. Loved it at the time - haven't listened to it in 10 years, no desire to. Zwan is all about the songs that didn't make the album and Djali.

OMG - Zwan was so bad - Ogilala is by far the best billy output since 2001 reunion - Pumpkins b-sides are often better than album stuff - so ogilala reminds me of some bside material - so i like it.

Oh man, has netphoria always been a place for sp haters and people who got stuck in 1995?

Why not do both?
There's a sort of nostalgia and interest in dissecting a previous-favourite artist's new work.

For comparison, I actually get a lot more enjoyment listening to Billy's new stuff than say, Grandaddy's last two albums, which were both irredeemably bland.

Science Fiction is my album of the year so far. The new National is decent and I quite like the band Alvvays. But new music is pretty bad, these days. There's no decent rawk out there. Fuck... the best two albums I heard last year were Go!Team and Blink. Dunno if this proves your point or not, actually...

This is true. I have to believe that 9/10 of the dummies what go "but zwan sux fux" are actually talking about the album. Which does indeed suck. Mad fucks actually

But live zwan was basically a different band than what is heard on marystaryofthepee. And it was a good, very good band indeed.

Glasshouse was practically a perfect album as is. Would love a decent soundboard/mastered recording of that. They should've just rushed out a stripped down lof-fi, underproduced album of those tracks.

Then Djali Zwan / Hideout.
Then Mary Star (RWCC, Dust My Broom, Riverview, Spilled Milk... A New Poetry - fuck, forgot about that one etc.)

There were 3-4 decent albums worth of live tracks. Billy just obsessed and overcooked everything in the studio. That's at least one area his "lazy, immoral" bandmates were right.
