Shit, man... The Future Embrace is actual fire - Page 2

Mals Marola · 03-14-2019, 05:30 PM

that's because Big Boy Bill saw us unfit to stream the album

as he did with Mary Star, Zeitgeist, and whatever other albums people loathed upon release but pretend to like now!

Exactly, even Billy wants to sweep those under the rug.

If you're not on streaming, then you're dead

myosis · 03-14-2019, 06:00 PM

careful what you wish for

VoxUpDoc · 03-14-2019, 06:34 PM

Is it avant garde when the guitars and synth sounds are intricately produced, but the drumbeat sounds like a lo-fi bedroom demo? And you have hooks that are sang off-key and chopped up with like... the opposite of hooks, which kill the momentum of the song and the listener’s patience? Like... if you’re gonna launch yourself as a solo artist with an album of 3minute pop songs, surely the ideas is to create songs people can remember? Why is the production and songwriting constantly getting in it’s own way? I just... don’t get this album, and I’m sorry it hurt Bill so much, but everything that went wrong afterwards started here.

If Billy truly walked the walk he'd get rid of all the classic albums and leave only the trash on Spotify.

LaBelle · 03-14-2019, 09:36 PM

Haven't heard it in forever, but I remember Tilt being really good.

Big Truck05 · 03-14-2019, 10:15 PM

I stand by my "Buzzed" post.

redbreegull · 03-14-2019, 10:17 PM

TFE is a pretty cool album with some really good and some pretty bad songs, but overall it's interesting and worthwhile

cork_soaker · 03-14-2019, 10:24 PM

occasionally interesting and relatively recent TFE thread

in which i stalk and harass brian leisgang(?) online and demand answers, resulting in his eventual acquiescence

I absolutely love TFE. The short film is amazing too.

also i can imagine few things douchier than using your masters in music to "objectively" determine that a Billy Corgan album is bad

and yet, i can't deny it is also hilarious

Forgotten Child · 03-15-2019, 09:06 AM

I think I only dislike All Things Change and specially I'm ready. I live Pretty Pretty Star and Camera Eye, which is very innovative and out of the box, and I wish Billy tried more of that.

I would say TFE was the last time Billy took any risks. And I respect him for trying new things more than for middle of the road albums.

Does no one like Now (And Then)? Common.

FoolofaTook · 03-15-2019, 11:12 AM

the rest can eat megalothon dong, tho, as i believe ive already noted.

i like the bit where it veers into the darkness for that mournful solo

cork_soaker · 03-15-2019, 11:28 AM

as a whole, the album has interesting textures and a (to me) pleasingly stark aesthetic; unfortunately the songs are weak and it's just dead on arrival

Sadmachines and some confused netphorians, so nope, no one.

fluxequalsrad · 03-15-2019, 01:31 PM

Not exactly on topic, but Stephen Malkmus released his solo "drum machine/foray into electronics" album today and it absolutely spanks TFE. Another L for BiLLy.
