Default Iha's solo record appreciation thread

This is about 10x better than anything Corgan has done by himself, including his new solo record which isn't coming out anyway

It's pastoral, natural, and beautiful

I really love James' first album.

Billy's attitude towards it sucks tough. The stuff he's said about James trying to market himself as alt.country to cash in, or how he could have "fixed" the album if James had only asked him for help really annoys me. It's like...let James record his own damn album ya douche canoe.

It's like in Billy's mind, a James solo record is still part of the Pumpkin Camp.

TFE is a terrible album nobody wants to listen to, not even you. Both Iha albums are significantly better.

the CD filled a slot in my CD tower really well, when i was a teen. also, the cover had a really nice shade of yellow for the border.

well worth paying full price for. can't wait for the reissue.

Guys. I love James Iha. He's an essential part of the Pumpkins. But Billy Corgan is without question a better songwriter, lyricist, singer, and guitar player. James has put out some charming solo albums, but come on. Even if Billy's post SP1 production choices drive you into a rage, there is no question that even in the fucking TbK era he was capable of shitting out a song better than peak 90's James.

It's bland. There's nothing wrong with it, but I could stick it on, start doing something and only notice it when it finished.

Let It Come Down gets a lot of love from people who don't give a shit about the Pumpkins. Just saying. It's a pleasant record.

Billy said that in one of his interviews with Howard Stern if I recall correctly.

He also basically criticized Iha for essentially going behind his back and getting a solo album deal with out Corgan knowing about until around the time the album was released.

You say this like it's a bad thing.

Perhaps something more like Stone Sour would be up your alley?
