So "E" for effort Billy.

"best since" does not equal "as good as"

reprise85 · 06-11-2012, 09:52 PM

i mean, his statement is still false but

false but fun to pretend

sjpaterra · 06-11-2012, 09:53 PM

My condolences to anyone who thinks anything Billy has done since the breakup is better than anything Smashing Pumpkins did before the breakup.

reprise85 · 06-11-2012, 09:55 PM

ok, now you're actually negating something someone said.

czr · 06-11-2012, 10:00 PM

Its too good!

reprise85 · 06-11-2012, 10:01 PM

the celestials is actually pretty damn good too

not sure if it's really great or i'm just so used to billy putting out shit that it just seems great in comparison.

either way it's much better than teargarden

deadaswarhol · 06-11-2012, 10:03 PM

cant change my itunes country, just keep getting a "itunes could not process your request" error. tried changing it on my ipad and it seemed to work, except i still can't preview the album on the ipad

reprise85 · 06-11-2012, 10:03 PM

are you using adblock+ or anything like that...? just an idea

have you tried restarting your computer? Just an idea

TuralyonW3 · 06-11-2012, 10:09 PM

the album's basically a mix of machina (without any metal) and zwan

Trotskilicious · 06-11-2012, 10:12 PM

so no leeks eh

this is pretty apt, yeah

there's complexity and depth that was missing from teargarden (and zeitgeist, to a lesser extent)

Shallowed · 06-11-2012, 10:13 PM

I'm resisting the urge to listen. The first time I hear the album I want it to be the whole thing, not low-quality samples.

I'm both intrigued and suspicious about the response so far. I'm pretty sure the feedback to Zeitgeist when it first came out was similar to this. Along the lines of "not bad", with comparisons to SD or MCIS. But then Zeitgeist as a rock album turned out to be the opposite of what SD and MCIS is.

mpp · 06-11-2012, 10:14 PM

how does this not suck?

comparing the first 3 tracks to the first 3 tracks of zeitgeist is really stunning if you think about it -- zeitgeist was horrible

not that this is Houses of the Holy or anything, but the first three songs are at least sorta solid

reprise85 · 06-11-2012, 10:15 PM

it doesn't compare to SD or MCIS but it's just a different animal than Zeitgeist re: depth

TuralyonW3 · 06-11-2012, 10:16 PM

the last song is pretty beautiful...too bad the vocals are the most dry, nasal and strained on the whole album

Implosion · 06-11-2012, 10:19 PM

God Mike's drum kit sounds like shit. His playing doesn't make it sound any better. Some of the music is decent, but fuck.

how can Billy work with the calibur of Jimmy for nearly 20 years and then record Oceania and say, "yeah, those drums are good to go. Print it!" ??? Its hard to conceive he still doesn't have that perfectionist gene left in any of his bones...

Hey this worked, thanks!

Netphorian Gadabout · 06-11-2012, 10:40 PM

This is legitimately good. Not "good" by "2012 SP standards," but legitimately good. Had it had Jimmy drumming, this could be "really good." I'm extremely pleasantly surprised.

great poster · 06-11-2012, 10:41 PM

It's not letting me listen.

Well, I got it to work and am listening to Quasar right now.

The singing is... flat... not too energetic, but it's okay.
