CYR Pitchfork Review
https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums...-pumpkins-cyr/
"The most generous interpretation of his current irrelevance is that Corgan has come to accept it." Eh, i wouldn't be so sure about that but pretty accurate review imo. |

Much more benevolent than I thought. And, all in all, a quite agreeable one.

Fuck pitchfork. Used to know dudes whose entire persona seemed to be paraphrasing album reviews at me and everyone around us. Guess it’s fun to pretend to know everything there ever was to know about what is the “correct” music to be listening to

Fuck pitchfork indeed. But this dude in particular is a Classic Pumpkins Records® aficionado.

Yeah, Ian Cohen has been around a while and it's a pretty balanced review.
Touring member Katie Cole and longtime collaborator/Black Eyed Peas associate Sierra Swan make the most of a rare Smashing Pumpkins supporting role, adding necessary melodic color and indicating that, indeed, other human beings were involved in the creation of a 72-minute album written and produced entirely by Billy Corgan. Ever the Pumpkins lifer, Chamberlin attributes his dry, mechanical playing to Corgan’s desire for an “early-’70s prog” sound; anyone else will just hear one of the most propulsive drummers in rock history relegated to a human metronome. The input of other members of Smashing Pumpkins has always been intentionally difficult to quantify, and without a single memorable guitar part throughout, Iha and bassist Jeff Schroeder are mere witnesses to Corgan treating CYR as his Logic X tutorial. |

Credit where it’s due: CYR has the least amount of filler of any supersized Smashing Pumpkins album because it has the narrowest gap between the singles and the deep cuts. I also can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t trade any random three-song run for another “Glass and the Ghost Children” just to feel something. ha ha ha

I don’t know why everyone still sharts on Pitchfork. The site has come a long way since the early 2000s when it put up embarrassing poorly substantiated posture pieces.
This is a two star review and it is a two star album. |

I don’t read Pitchfork as much as I used to but this review reads like a first year psych major’s review
