thanks. was avoiding reading that thread because of exactly what you've stated here. more nonsense and revisionist history.

there is simply no humility with b'arcy.

He saw Cobain, Weiland, Reznor and Cornell do it and though “oh I want to be one of the cool kids!!”

Nobody in their right mind gives a shit about Cyr Volume 3 Oh So Bright by Kaleidoscope

We just want a proper Machina II to end our fandom

casual fans will equate Cyr with being the so-called "sequel" that Billy was talking about in the news.. they don't read between the lines.. Billy is a moderate marketing genius but makes shit music in this era

how likely is it that this MCIS sequel never comes to fruition much like the way Teargarden was abandoned?

It's not unwarranted though. As I said he has been a narcissistic abusive dick to basically everyone I know who has ever been anywhere near his radius.

i found it interesting when he mentioned very honestly, that all those original SP run records were written as if from the point of view of a "character", and not directly about his own person. he said that he himself would never have been strong enough to present his own exposed self. he said something along the lines of, what he writes is sort of fiction relating to a character that is not personally him - but it all draws heavily from his experiences. but when people criticize SD lyrics, they still weren't criticizing "him", because he was putting forward a character so that that could be sacrificed.

To keep the engine running and indulge Billy.

Billy writes songs he thinks sound like contemporary pop hits and showcases his lovely singing vocals, because that is the level of delusion he is at.

Man, I really don't know anymore.
Leading to break up, I thought everything this band does is turned to gold. Machina was like worst effort, but even there we had some great shit like Stand inside....

Then came Zwan and I was bummed, I was like 'wtf is this crap!? It had Jim and Bill, never thought it can get this bad.

Then came Zeitgeist, kept my fingers crossed after Zwan train wreck...
But hell... Magic was back!!!
Doomsday, Starz, USA, Tarantula, That' s the way, 7 shades...ppl liked bashing, but that was a serious album.
In fact, BAM! We additionaly got some of the best stuff in TSP history in Gossamer, SC, Death from above...

Jimmy leaves, Bill goes almost to Zwan form with an highschooler and some Kaleidoshit songs, but when I though t he lost it - we get really decent Oceania.

He fires Karate kid, I hope for the best, but he adds Jim and James and they all record some of the most uninspired, boring shit ever. Something so boring I can't make myself listen to longer than 3 songs!?

Has he def lost it!?!?
Is this another chapter of up and down history??
Who knows.

Saddly, we are all forced losing our time listening to shit since 2000, cause each time we wrote him off, he would actually pht a spell of magic to some magnificent shit.

The queation is, how long will this shit period last for this time around.

His attempt to rewrite the original run of the band to accommodate his current narrative of the neoconservative business and family man (or whatever the fuck he's trying to do right now) is pathetic and probably a lie. He was a 20 year old kid from the Chicago suburbs with little knowledge and a great talent.

I mean, even the sound of the band was a happy accident. Let's not forget all those bands had little time to plot anything, they got caught in the big wave of alternative music and there they went.

Also....does it even fucking matter? Like -- I've never met Billy. I don't know Billy.

So if he's writing from a character that he invented, that may as well be him for all I know or care, because the only thing I know about Billy is that he is the Pumpkin man who wrote the songs

They switch around sounds a lot. Some will work for you, some wont. Widow Wake My Mind is good but it's no surprise that people who want more Rat In A Cage aren't going to get it.

The Cyr songs are kinda boring but as WPC said, that's on purpose and part of the concept. It's an album that's designed to reward patience and devotion.
