Who knows. He's not making any sense again and seems angrily hell-bent on creating an opus now.

I am so excited for DFN now. He just seems pretty pissed and determined at the moment. We'll see how it goes.

I'm going to stay cautiously optimistic. I've been a fan for a long time and I've seen Billy like this before and nothing much changes, he just retreats further into his obsessions and paranoia. I'll have even less hope if he keeps Howard around.

There is like a 1% chance Billy had the faintest idea who Ninja was when he got up on stage with them; like, I don't think I've ever read a single interview with him where he didn't dodge a direct question about what music is good or bad or even existent these days

Does anyone here honestly think he has listened to the entirety of even a single song recorded after his adolescence, because, let me tell you

None of you should have hope for DFN. It's going to come out and be nothing like anything Billy has been saying so far. And his "new mood" or whatever won't affect anything either. Expect some more lukewarm shit that he says is getting the "best reception since MCIS!"

Okay I finished reading

I thought the whole "It has never and won't ever occur to me that the people around me tell me what I want to hear" thing up front would be the most depressing thing in the article -- and I mean, honest to God, that when I read that I sat here feeling just unbelievably sad for him, like, in anyone else I'd think that was an astonishing lack of self-awareness but he's been in way too much therapy and woo-woo spiritualism for this not to be an idea that he just consciously refuses to consider, like he wakes up every morning having to forcefully slam the door shut on that possibility all over again



But then I got to the astrology section, the astrology section, the fucking astrology section

I expect a Manson guesting on one song.
seriously though I expect nothing - not nothing as in nothing worth listening to, but nothing specific. because as you say - it doesn't matter what anyone said about it so far, the album isn't even recorded yet.

Me too.

Billy has cut people out of his life whom he feels "betrayed" him or "don't get" him, so it's amazing to see this complete lack of self-awareness on his part or, as you say, something he completely refuses to even consider. His hyper-sensitivity alone makes it difficult for anyone to say much of anything to him.

Jesus. I can only imagine his reaction once he does, ain't gonna be pretty. Nexus updates should be really interesting once all the promotion and shows wind down.

Eh i'll try my hand at this too. Probably will get bitched by someone but it's all subjective

Gish - 2.5 (i don't even know really, i don't like psychedelic rock at all.. so im not in good position to judge fairly)
SD - 4 (<---most likely to get shit on for not rating Sd as perfect)
Pisces - 3
MCIS - 5 (technically not even perfect, but if you remove the few meh songs and replace them by the good bsides, yeah, anyway nobody could ever pull a 28 songs record and have all the songs be great, if you've got half that are great you succeeded in my book)
Adore - 4
Machina I - 3.5
Machina II - 3
MSOTS - I dont even know. I listened to it only once and didn't care.
FutureEmbrace - 3
Zeitgeist - 1 (maybe 0.5 actually)
Oceania - 2
Monuments - 2.5


You're right billy, this isn't a 3 stars album, its' a 2 and a half.

Ugh. Every time I think Billy can't be more of a dick, or that his ego couldn't be any larger, he outdoes himself. Anyone would agree SP were a pillar of alternative rock in the 90s. How much more credit does he want for those albums? They were on top of the world from 93-96. WTF.

Billy clearly sees himself as a legendary figure in rock. He wants the credit a Bowie or a Neil Young gets. He wants people to mention Zeppelin and Pink Floyd and Pumpkins in the same breath.
