"Alienation" Case Study
Seriously this song is so bad I feel like it communicates Billy's emotional anguish more than the actual good sad songs that he has penned. It is writer's block manifest - but not like Hummer. He has to know this sucks... Billy can not write a tune anymore.
There is not one person in this man's life that likes "Alienation". There is not one element of this song that could possibly rope in a new listener. The midi piano, the 4/4 metal kick drum at the start. I am certain if he wrote a song on the spot on a dare it would be better than this. Is there anyone in his circle that challenges him? It's like he's a pitcher who has lost his confidence. "Seek and You Shall Destroy" is also so brutal. Like legit worst song on an Incubus album level of shit. Fuck. |

Probably the worst on the album, but I could stand it if the verses weren't bad form poetry and actual lyrics.

Bassline kind of reminds me of Eye Of the Tiger too which bothers the hell out of me

Sounds like a Ogilala song that Jimmy could've transformed into something much better if he wasn't just phoning in his role in the Pumpkins.

i wouldn't place any blame on jimmy tho. make no mistake, Billy was the reason SP were great in the 90s, and he's the reason they are...um...not great. ...post 2000

This song has a clear message:
Corgan wants to alienate with us. |

The entire LP is phenomenal. Marchin on, Travels, Alienation and Knights of Malta are probably my favorites, but they're all so good it's impossible to choose...enjoyed your version of Seek and You Shall Destroy! 👏🙌🤘 YOUR version...? She was involved? |

This "album" is a slap in the face. Seriously. This is how you relaunch the band with its former members. Mutherfucker, I wouldn't even be able to tell you who was playing on it had I not been following. lol. Sad.
