Maybe they're trying to make it seem better than it is.
Although the Pimlico venue is pretty cool as far as these things go. |

nice to get an announcement of dates for this band, but I'm utterly disappointed that it doesn't say who are the Smashing Pumpkins.

Just rearranging the sentence brings this: ZEITGEIST was produced by Roy Thomas Baker and Terry Date working separately on various tracks, with Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin, and represents the culmination of two years of work. Which makes little grammatical sense. This would make perfect sense though, considering that audio engineer's rant, and the little whispers that we heard about them working alone in the studio, etc. A producer does not always need to be an engineer... a producer just has to be someone with a vision as to where the record can go, and it's not even their job to know how to get there - that's the engineer's job. "I want it to sound like it's inside an orange".... and so the engineer works out the best way to do that. |

Two years work? Lots of pressure on those boys. They better produce a masterpiece or it's going to be the greatest disaster since Ishtar. |
