agree with this. i think he's a fantastic drummer but he's trying too hard on this song.

i didn't really get a sense of the song's natural rhythm or melody either.

[Monet LSD]

What's up with the middle part of the song "Oceania" being exactly the "United States" drumbeat?

[Esty]

So basically everyones doing the same shit as before. You get excited and this song "is good", "mikes getting better", "great setlist",blah blah fucking blah.

Don't you guys learn anything? Its the same fucking pattern each and every time. Youll be "optimistic" now and then go on the hate wagon later.

Also eulogy, the eulogy who was in the threads hating on corgan when he made those remarks would bitch slap your ass. Its interesting to see how little it takes to make you forget.

oh and geek was terrible.

yeah i noticed that too.

[MyOneAndOnly]

this band is awesome! Nicole is better than D'arcy. Jeff plays better than James ever will. Mike Rocks.

fuck the haters!

i'm glad i'm not alone here.

but you gotta admit, oceania is pretty decent.

[Esty]

Haven't heard it. not in a rush to.

Its sad to see how "low the bar is/expectations are" for the people here to get excited with this band.

Also, talk some sense into eulogy. He seems like a man of principle. To see him in this thread irritates me since he was so angry at corgan just a month ago.

[RenewRevive]

lol he won't admit that, the facade would crack.

[Dogfighter28]

this will revive the pumpkins career

Really, since they are obviously a way better band than the ones who produced all the albums prebreakup, why havent they been able to even sniff the level of success the original four did?

I wonder what it is? Whats missing?

[RenewRevive]

bugg superstar?

I assume youre talking to me. I have been and gone on record to saying parts of zeitgeist had its moments. I actually like united state, tarantula and some bside thats name escapes me at the moment.

If a song is good and I like it, ill say so. So fuck off.

fair enough then!

[SlingeroGuitaro]

Looks like Billy either had an older guitar converted to look like one of his signature guitars, or he replaced the neck with a different model. The neck on these guitars looks like the neck on vintage reissues.

[Gossamer]

I'd like to think that I know good pumpkins from bad pumpkins and I think that Geek USA was pretty good.

[somaziro]

doesn't matter how good the songs sound live, lots of tgbk songs sounded good before they got fucked up in the studio. we will see. actually, probably won't matter what the album sounds like, if i will prolly just listen to a soundboard from a good show instead.

[andrewface]

smashing pumpkins are back!

[great poster]

Soundboard fucking where.

[somaziro]

geek sounded ok, i liked jeff's effects during the quiet middle part, however its just not the same without the raygun at the end. won't judge the drumming until i hear a better quality boot.

no and no.

why do you people buy into this shit? this just goes back to the simple fact that better music is happening right now, and it's sad that this is what you guys are settling for.

hey, isle. when you talk about "high alternative", do you take the fans into consideration?

[Gossamer]

the 3 new songs that I've heard (quasar, panopticon, and oceania, all sound pretty decent actually and significantly better than anything from zeitgeist or teargarden imo).

im actually a bit excited to be honest.

People need to stop smoking so much weed, get off the fucking internet a few minutes and realize this is completely talentless art-student garbage. If you like this music just buy a microphone, reverb pedal, a cheap casio keyboard, and a four track and just make it yourself. Then at least you don't have to spend any more money on other talentless people's records. Plus you'll be a more productive person. WOW!

[samuel redman]

this would be interesting with jimmy

least billy is appealing to the masses again

will i get famous

nicole fiorentino was hot in the last seduction

[TuralyonW3]

that middle percussion-less bit in Oceania is purty

[TuralyonW3]

quasar makes me want to hear the studio track. could be pretty righteous is the vocals aren't too over everything.
