Jimmy’s drumming also is so predictable. Typical machine gun snare fills that he did on Zeitgeist every five seconds. He shouldn’t escape criticism either

What’s the latest from Sad Machines on this track. Are they creaming themselves over it?

Keep in mind, if you recall the D'arcy correspondence, Billy said it was just he and Jimmy in there to knock 1 song out and that James was hardly there, so this is probably just a song they knocked out quickly for the sake of having something "new". |

You know it’s bad when the true believers are all like “...but maybe it’s not the final mix guys! Oh wait, try it on headphones everyone! Oh wow, it finally grew on me, I discovered suddenly that I LOVE generic cookie cutter palm-muting on the 4/4!”
And then, inevitably, “it’s bad on purpose it’s a STATEMENT YOU GUISE” |

Everyone on Reddit surprisingly hates it and they're always the biggest fanboys which isn't surprising as I believe they're many of the same people who post on Sad Machines.

"bahaha this is comedy gold, it's so bad it's hilarious, that's what they were going for!" solara made it into my audio comedy folder on the first listen, so my hopes for what comes next actually got higher instead of lower. |

Will we get the next new song in less than a few weeks, like, when "Being Beige" was not so well received...?

It sucks though. Billy is finally back together with Jimmy and James, a big reunion tour coming up. This was really his last chance to come out with something awesome and really make a statement and gain some relevancy, but it's just more of the same. I can't see this shit getting much airplay.

seriously why in the fuck. new reunion, let's pretend this never happened.....our lead single is a shitty song that didn't even make the cut for a shitty album
If there was a modern equivalent of the 666 tapes of BC/JC/JI just jamming in the studio, 5 minutes of that audio (VHS noise included) would be a better lead single |

Reminds me of the people when Tarantula came out who said “well obviously it’s a dumb rock single, they have to lead off with that, the real Pumpkins sounding stuff is going to be on Zeitgeist and blow us away”

There's just no nuances with the melody or anything here. You 'd figure he'd at least do something different on the outro chorus, change up the vocal melodies a bit, throw in some cool lead guitar, but it just all comes off as a little lazy. If James was seriously interested in taking part in this project, I'm a little disappointed by what he came up with in this song.

What's weird is he did the same thing on Mary Star, but it worked then. Crazy rolls in Lyric, ride bell syncopation in the chorus on Black Swan... I guess Billy could write a song worth shit then. And the production wasn't as bad My iTunes looped back to I Am One after Solara finished and the difference in the drum production is staggering as well |

Congrats to the Washington Capitals for winning the Stanley Cup. They won't have to travel very far to visit the White House.

This almost seems like a demo or something. Sloppiness/immediacy can be cool, but you've gotta at least have a solid song.
The production on Jimmy's drums is an absolute sin. Let's take a dude with some of the best snare dynamics/colors ever and suck the life out of his snare. SOLID PLAN! |

There are so many dolts on the SP subreddit who think this is amazing. Are they genuinely hearing a different song than me or are they all brainless sycophants who can’t admit SP could write a bad song

The version that leaked on YouTube this morning was definitely a different mix after listening to the Apple Music version. The drums sound much different

Not saying this song is going to even get airplay past next week. But you could literally take any song by any band ever and there will be people out there that have it as their favorite song. |

I'll say this, the official release quality is definitely an improvement compared to this 320kbps YouTube rip, which I doubt it actually a proper 320 as it's YouTube compression on top of compressing it again to MP3. So you're compounding the effects of lossy compression doing this. The official master sounds a bit fuller.
