I'm not understanding all of the hype surrounding Rubin and his rock credentials. Sure, he's a brilliant hip-hop guy, but man, this SP album is brickwalled as fuck.

When I'm listening to music on shuffle and a Shiny song comes on, it pretty much blasts out my eardrums... Seriously, why the fuck is it so loud?!

2 star review from The Metro

https://www.metro.news/album-review-...limbo/1308160/

This features one of the best takes I've read yet

"Opener Knights Of Malta adds strings to a sub-Oasis chug, Billy singing ‘I’m gonna fly forever, we’re gonna ride the rainbow’ with all the conviction of a minicab driver at the end of a 12-hour shift"

LOL. Guy just nailed it haha

I follow them already, the fan reaction has been positive in general.You didn't like the new songs, we get it, you don't need to convince people to hate them as well.

What's great is there is literally nothing rude about the question at all.

What a monumental cunt Billy Corgan is.

it is quite a good song
but the lyrics really don't touch me in any way
"we're in the middle, we're in the middle (ghosts)"
does that reach to anyone?

There’s plenty of people here who don’t like them too, sweetheart. And stop posting lame ass gifs like you’re some fat chick on a Facebook thread who thinks posting a plebe gif wins an argument.

I just looked over the lyrics, I think he's saying "I'm having a mid-life, I'm having a mid-life (crisis)", but he can't be that direct, because being direct goes against his aesthetic.

Billy has written so much shit music since the original band disbanded that when he releases something average folks think it's the best thing ever. I wish I could hear what people like about this album if I could get past how embarrassingly cringe-inducing and bland it all sounds.

Odd interview in The Sunday Times this weekend:

"The Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan has said,"We collectively need to rebuild the public trust in our brand" (yes, he said "brand, not "band"). And he's been doing it. This most dysfunctional of outfits has put 75% of itself back together again (the guitarist James Iha and the drummer Jimmy Chamberlin have returned after 18 years) and recorded and album that evokes their classic 1990s sound on Travels, With Sympathy and especiallu the yearning pop-grunge of Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)."

Almost enjoyed Travels just now. Came so close. It kind of sounds like Pains of Beings Pure at Heart doing their pumpkins impression.

"Plenty" is not the same as "the worst fan reaction ever in the history of human being" you're trying to force people to believe.

His range on this tour was surprisingly great but I seriously doubt he could sing Ode to No One or Scorched, etc. Can't do the shriek anymore.

Speak for yourself. I know I can’t wait to hear more songs where Billy has 37 vocal tracks of himself singing the same chorus after he’s been up all night blowing out his vocal chords screaming at a WWE match.

Uh, Linda Strawdingle likes "Marchin' On". I begin to hate it...




claytuckett
The entire LP is phenomenal. Marchin on, Travels, Alienation and Knights of Malta are probably my favorites, but they're all so good it's impossible to choose...enjoyed your version of Seek and You Shall Destroy! ������
