That leak of Envelope Women that's like 8 minutes long, mostly the same riff/transition over and over, Billy bullshitting lyrics and going 'lover yeahhh yeahhh' and yelling out chord changes was more fun to listen to than this

Has anyone listened to this with headphones? I feel like I can hear sound artefacts (glitching/noise/slight distortion??) on the vocals.
The drum production is weird (for Jimmy especially) since his playing is quite busy it's not leaving enough "air" or dynamic in his playing. The snare is way too dry, especially the flamming going into the second verse... so jarring/shitty sounding. God dammit Rubin! I don't think the song is tooooo bad, but yeah defs feels like a ZG era song. I like Jimmy's playing in the chorus, feels like he's trying to lift it and take it somewhere... but the chorus is too mediocre to go elsewhere. |

I feel like Solara is the kind of song that would play during a commercial break on Alex Jones' show
maybe it was actually made with that in mind? all the trumptards would likely be into it |

This song is absolute garbage. Nothing redeeming in any way shape or form.
What the fuck were they thinking? |

I haven't heard a good quality recording, yet. However, what I did hear earlier this morning wasn't what I thought I was going to hear when anticipating this song's release. Ugh...

Yeah I agree. I was thinking it would be more Siamese Dream or MCIS in sound now with James back. But unfortunately it's just more of the Oceania-MTAE-> stream of songwriting.

I listened with headphones and there is more going on underneath the loud guitars up front. I really hope that isn’t the final mix. That other stuff needs to be brought forward. Not saying it would save the song, though.

I would have been happy with any Oceania track basically with James and Jimmy. What's the go to tech company PR term nowadays... "We missed the mark."!

That's what I heard. It sounded like a super rough mix. Almost like the band was just playing and there was no board/ mixing console involved. IDK. Fingers crossed this is a total hoax and it was recorded 4 years ago! lol

Solara is laughably bad. Mediocre songs like FOL or Freak sound good by comparison. It's amazing that anyone involved considered that worthy of release. Just stop, guys. You're embarrassing yourselves.

Just got a high quality download....
Damn man... I was expecting something better than this. Billy can't sing for shit anymore. It's really off-putting. One and All is a wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy better song, and Billys vocals are actually good in that song. I can't believe Rubin fucked up the production so badly. On the bright side, Jimmy absolutely slays. But it's just such a badly written song. Awful melodies, no melodic interplay, no interesting guitar parts. I figured with 3 guitarists that they'd really focus more on that aspect of the new music. How are these 3 gonna play it live? Just all play the same riff? I was REALLY looking forward to this, and I really wanna like it, but it's just not very good. |

Contrary to what people think, I'm not a shit stirrer in that regard. The only Pumpkins thing I've ever sent her is the NYT interview since she was in it. If she hears it though and would like to write a review, I'm definitely open to posting it!

Can we expect better when Billy rolls into the studios for 2-3 weeks and spends as much time posting to Instagram as he does recording? Back in the day he locked his ass in the studio for months. Jimmy was right that they’d never record Mellon Collie today.

I think it's just a cash-grab type of thing they whipped up in order to have something "new" out before the tour. Like Pave said, the tour is the money maker and it's all about the nostalgia factor anyways.
I was still thinking that with all the hype that they'd have something pretty cool to offer, but honestly, I doubt Iha even played on this track or if he did, he may have just played that little lead part near the end. |

Man, I hadn't listened to Oceania in a few years.. but out of curiousity for comparison.. I just put on Panopticon and it sounds way better than this steaming pile of Solara crap.
p.s: I didn't even like Oceania |

If the idea was to dredge up an old "rocker" to promote the tour with minimum effort expended, why not go back to one of the actually good Zwan songs that was deemed "too Pumpkiny" at the time? (e.g. Chrysanthemum or Glorious). Is it a tacit acknowledgment that b0lly doesn't want to mail it in with quality unreleased material? He's got to, on some level, understand that those songs are 100x better than Solara.
