The thing that really discourages me is that the album feels as though it's going to lack a certain dynamism in song structure. Most of these songs are three to four minutes; I'd feel better if we had some longer tracks mixed in there, even if they weren't that great, to kind of break up the tedium. While there are still elements of these songs that I really enjoy, they feel so processed, like Billy tried to make an album full of 1979's and Tonight Tonights. SP needs some ragged, tattered fuckin edges to it, a certain sloppiness mixed into the proficiency... it's not here. |

you know the truly depressing think to think is that -- what if james and jimmy are just as stupid and bad and horrible as corgan. they're all into this shitty aesthetic and songwriting and vibe. it's just that since they're not lead singers it doesn't get exposed or reported on as much. but they're just as culpable

No shame in getting paid for your legacy, even if big willie seems ultimately hellbent on destroying it as slow/painfully as possible while evaporating any semblance of his own credibility as an artist/person |

I don’t blame Jimmy or James for any of this. They just let Billy do whatever bs he’s gonna do in the studio. He gives them a platform to go out on tour and make bank. I’d do it too. SP are like any legacy band now. The fans don’t really give a shit about the new albums and the band will play maybe a couple songs from it live max. Billy is just like an athlete that thinks he’s still in his prime and can’t accept that he peaked already. You’re not batting .390 anymore, more like .125 and the rest of team humors you because they know your retirement is imminent

Billy is doing what he wishes, as he wishes. Jimmy and James are around just for the money. Are you really trying to show them some support? |

I support their decision to play in a no longer great band that sells tickets based solely on 90’s nostalgia

Curious.. at what point are some of you going to finally abandon this band?
Obviously the music isn’t what it was when they were young and started out. Obviously they’ve come back to cash in on what they’ve built in their initial run.. but duh why shouldn’t they? They’re dudes in their 50s with families, what else they going to do? Be realistic about it rather than angry about it. Seems wasted energy. I for one am happy to see them make new music. Whether it’s good or bad honestly doesn’t bother me now as a fan, it’s going to be hit or miss. I’m also all about seeing a stage production type show for MCIS.. my favorite album and with James and jimmy at the helm I’m sure that’ll be a trip to witness and hear. But Jesus Christ lots of energy wasted on what’s obvious. Take it or leave it. |

Billy can’t write good music unless D’Arcy is there. Prove me wrong.

I mean its good music but its nowhere close to SP1 quality. However, its Led Zeppelin III compared to Cyr.

I'm a fan of the band so it's interesting to discuss the ups and downs, the positive and negative, and the absolute villainous nature of Billy Corgan. What's the point of anyone being on this board if it all has to be positive and endless praise? That's sad machines and that's the kind of stuff Klax would send to my message requests on fb taking me to task for having an opinion.

My point is this place has become the complete opposite of sad machines. No middle ground.

In fairness, Billy has gotten really weird in recent interviews and social media, and Jimmy seems to be going along with it. Billy seems like he wants to spite anyone who is willing to share any grain of truth about SP. It's very much reflected in the music, interviews, and social media interaction. I really thought we were turning a corner for the better in 2018 and even in January of this year, if not in music than at least in attitude and communication, but now it seems worse than ever. It seems like being critical is the only real response. I was definitely mad about Billy's attitude towards SP1 and the fans in the 2007-2015 period, but now it seems like its entering an even new level of strange to where I feel genuinely uncomfortable about the situation.

Billy has been this way throughout the entirety of his career. We just didn’t see it as much in the 90s because we over idolized him. But listen to his rants from those lollapalooza shows, for example, and they’re just as cringe as his behavior is now.

hasn't it always been like that more or less? I think for most people there isn't a middle ground with this new stuff because it's some of the weakest material he's ever released. And I really liked some of Monuments, Ogilala and about four songs on SoSB and Cotillions each. But his ig persona and ranting doesn't really make people have positive feelings about him.

that's true, yeah. we over idolized him so we glossed over that stuff. I guess that's why just about any other band who had some sort of contact with him hated him. with the ig q+a stuff you just see a lot of the ugly side of his personality come out unfiltered.
