I may be the minority here, but I think the new song sucks donkey nuts in both forms.
edit: I'd smash Katie Cole as long as she wears a mask to cover that face |

Not interested in the cover, fuck that. How do u all have time to listen to that
Anyway. Look at me over here talking shit b/c like a trained dog or an asshole, i listened to Cyr maybe 8 times back-to-back trying to get it. Still can’t hum it, any part of it, immediately after it ends. Think it’s my brain refusing to internalize any of these embarrassingly god awful empty bullshit lyrics? Or is it rather my sensorium recoiling at the uncanny valley of this infernal choir of sterile/fake lady screams, piercing into my god damn poor ear holes, in between nearly every stupid unwieldy phrase of big willies gasping/repulsive delivery? Combo of both? |

Meanwhile on the other hand ive grown more fond of this color of love turd
The ascending/descending keytar some of yall hate is, weirdly, one of my fave parts. Sometimes it doesn’t have to be a lot of notes and they don’t even have to do a whole lot — but those parts expand on and develop the melody of the verses in a way that is very satisfying to me. Plus there is guitar on this track thats murky/lurking real good just how i kinda like it sometimes from big willie. Plus. It’s just an ok song, i really don’t hate it at all. Melodically coherent in a way big willie rarely achieves with his god awful modern writing style. Might be a keeper after all? |

Netphoria, day of release - "I hate it it sux"
Netphoria, a few days later - "I mean, there's parts I like. BUTWHERESJIMMY" Netphoria, a week on - "Hey it's actually pretty good, but the album's gonna suck" Etc |

Surprised that no one has commented that Colour of Love is a pretty shameless rip of A Forest by the Cure

I still think or i want to believe that there must be some variation in sound. I mean 18 songs left.
Listened to cyr on good headphones and the basstone is pretty catchy. So i havent lost all my hope concerning the album |

Billy should've asked Katie Cole to join the band officially to play bass and share lead vocal duties. Let her do the vibrato and the softly-softly shit, and Bill can bring back his real Smashing Pumpkins voice - given her covers are superior to what Bill has been putting out.
Also.... the chorus of Cyr is a grower, a solid earworm and could've made the charts 97-00... but his vocal style still blows. This got me thinking... if there's another Greatest Hits I hope he re-records some of the SP2 & 3 tracks with James and Jimmy. The best thing Bill could do for his career and the Smashing Pumpkins is create a Netphoria account and come let us manage his band for him. The five star reviewes would come rolling in. After all, he's a five star man. Last edited by VoxUpDoc : 09-02-2020 at 11:13 AM. |

In fact there’s been plenty of variety in the responses to these tracks But oops sorry you were trying to reduce our wildly diverse community to an empty sound bite for the sake of propagating a joyless meme, carry on! |

My hot take is that the songs exist in this form as a direct response to Netphoria's existence

it's normally the opposite anyway, isn't it? i mean, in the grand scheme of things, it seems like the past few albums have had singles where it's either "oh wow, this is kind of good!" then a little later "yeah it ain't that good though" or just "phew boy this is rough!" and kind of just stays that way
i don't remember the last time we've had a bonafide grower on our hands |

The response to these songs is way better than when Solara came out, that's for sure. |

Most added song to alternative stations this week. Congrats Bill, you finally made a song that can compete with Imagine Dragons and I’m sure this taste of success will reinforce this shitty direction. The guy doesn’t follow his muse he follows his mu$e.

How are these songs any different from Teargarden by Kaleidyscope?

The songs aren’t suddenly better quality. They’re just probably playing the promo game and jumping thru the hoop$ that clear channel requires to get your song on the radio. I recall listening to the radio back when Monuments came out and one morning on the morning show the DJ was talking about the new SP album and how it was good and she wanted to play the single but her boss said no. Tells you all you need to know. Clear channel playlists are tightly controlled and only bands that pay get played, period.
In the mid 90’s it was different and DJ’s actually still had some autonomy. There were bands who had hits just because the DJ decided to play their song. Goo Goo Dolls for instance, that album A Boy Named Goo had been out for nearly a year and flopped. A Midwest DJ decided to play “Name” and other stations picked it up and it became a hit. That kind of thing doesn’t happen ever now. |
