but really i respect billy for taking such a reflective look at himself and realizing the problem with the recent output
this new album, is, at worst, very listenable he really, really tried. no three minute intentionally radio friendly pop hits that actually sucked, no stupid 44 song concept he sat down and strummed some chords and sang words that really meant something to him there's something beautiful about that |

Not to be a killjoy or anything (god forbid) but it's over ram. tsp blows. they lost whatever they had the magic during those peak mcis years. they started to regain it during those arising shows but then it all disintegrated. since then billy has blown megalothon dong. recreating the original environment won't bring back the magic. All we can do is listen to the gravity demos and weep!

Glad he ultimately feels good about that stuff though. There are plenty of gems over the last 18 years, you just have to be really keyed into what he's doing to know where to find them |

Depends how you qualify magic.
Anyone sitting there expecting or hoping for a reunion to result in Bill shredding his ass off land screaming in his best screech is kidding themselves, including Bill. But that doesn't mean the four of them up there doing a few shows can't still be something special. Fuck it, just go up there, have fun, no new songs required, and maybe good vibes'll make for a good show. Lately it certainly sounds like that's enough for him and that's cool, hopefully the same goes for everyone else. |

And Zwan imploded.
And his solo album bombing. And SP2 bombing. And Teargarden being completely rejected by the fanbase. And Oceania underperforming. And the Adore reissue tanking. And people mocking his cats, cafe, 8 hour synth experimentation. And MTAE underperforming. And that whole time Netphoria has been there to stick the boot in. It's not a true picture obviously, but Billy does seem to have a victim-complex, at least in his public persona. |

reading recent interviews, Corgan strikes me as a person who is putting in the hard work to really change his ways and turn himself around, and ditch aside all the wrongful beliefs and attitudes his crazy life had gotten into him - from abusive parenting, to receiving fame he wasn't able to handle, only to have it taken away.
he's honestly changing, and the last decade and a half has brutally humbled him. regardless of all the shit that's being said about him here daily, i respect him deeply and think all the terrible music since 2004 was only the flipside reflection of the same character and anti-establishment attitude which made him the brilliant force and man of vision he was in the 90's. i think that's why the new record is so well received - beyond the music itself, it just signifies a real reflection of who he is right now, rather than just seeing him go through the motions because SP is the only way he knows how to handle life (and i honestly mean that non-judgingly). becoming famous is absolutely not for everyone, and his soul suffered for being famous in the internet age. so if i were to sign off this ruminating post with an invaluable life lesson, just to ever so douchily cap things off, it's - be careful what you wish for, children. it might come true. |

The Oceania thing cracks me up. He talked up that record so much and even went so far to say it was him escaping the past and stuff.

It is going well already, it's gotten good reviews, sold out concerts, and he said he doesn't care about sales numbers anymore, so let us just give him the millenial illusion of success, which are likes and retweets

He plugs in and motherfucker! He starts playing, I start playing, and Jeff looks at me like, ‘There it is! There’s that fucking sound.’ I’m getting goosebumps talking to you about it – that’s fucking real, that’s that sound. Jeff was like, ‘Holy shit!’ Jeff’s a fan, Jeff saw the band back in the day, he’s played in the band for 10 years, he knows all of James’ guitar parts. He was like, ‘Wow.’ It wasn’t like [the sound] was kind of there, it was there.

I call BS
it's just media promo he'll say anything to sell a record and saying "i'm back to my old form, from when everyone loved me" is something he's been saying for every album that's tanked. |

Also feel like in recent interviews he is beginning to shy away from "full on reunion" to "some configuration" of the OG band. He must have doubts about D'arcy being able to do it or something.

This world has lost it's glory.
Lets start a brand new story. Now my love. You think that I don't even mean. A single word I say... It's only words. And words are all I have. To take your heart away. Talk, in everlasting words |

I don't think James wants to be 100% into the band either. They know the torture that's involved with a large commitment. They're probably down for something, but not full album and tour commitment.
but realistically I don't think there's a demand for a full world stadium tour anyways... they'd do 10 shows max, same scale as billy's current tour schedule - and wait to see the response before planning anything more (but the rest of the band won't be up for anything huge anyways). |
