Thanks for the PM. Song is really, really dreadful - actually quite shockingly poor

I got that vibe too. I think this is the most disappointed I’ve ever been by a Jimmy track -discordant fills -dry snare and ride -high toms sound weak(?) (don’t know how to describe it. bad?) |

I can’t believe Corgan chose a song from fucking Monuments as the lead single for the reunion
Seeing as he’s cashing in on nostalgia anyway, he must know that this straight up doesn’t have the elements that made the 90s songs good |

Thank you to everyone who sent it.
I have to say..... the song is a mess and really emphasizes that whole "why did he even create this song?" feeling you get when you listen to his music. The most terrible thing about Billy Corgan's most recent music is that he sounds like a wounded oldman in pain when he attempts to hit the lighter, softer notes. Then when he tries to be more forceful with his singing, his voice sounds so lifeless and if he's struggling to apply any effort. I just hate his singing style that he developed over the years, it makes poorly written songs even worse. |

Yeah, but if it weren't for Jimmy's overplaying, there would be nothing even remotely interesting there.

Even Jimmy can't help this time to make this wall of trivial hardrock riffs interesting.
Nothing but a Bolly out of mind... |

Run the YouTube link through a YouTube to mp3 converter. That still works.

With all the lyrics about the sun, its as if this is an alternate universe where the first "reunion" with Tarantula leading it off never happened and instead this happened. |

I didn't get a chance to listen to it before it was taken down (not that I'm super disappointed by this; I don't even care if I get PMed it or not), but I wonder what everyone would have been expecting from a song written before the reunion even happened.
Even the music being written with Iha and Chamberlin in the room isn't likely to be any good, as Corgan is still the main pilot of the songwriting and he just lacks the skill these days regardless of who he's working with, but at least that material has a glimmer of a chance of maybe not being so bad. Anything from some canceled album that he was working with Tommy Lee or Mike Byrne on can be safely written off, though. |

If it were produced with a little more care and had the guy from Bush on vocals it’d definitely pass for a Bush b side from the late 90s

It's like he's forgotten what his band used to be and why people liked his music

Another point - why can't the guy play a chord anymore? All his riffs since 2007 are just this garbage one string butt chugging ala Taruntula. The music has been void of any dreaminess and it all sounds so militant and joyless.

Jimmy tried to make a lame song more interesting by overplay.
What rescued some songs from Zeitgeist doesn't help on such low level anymore. |

After 3-4 listens, some concessions:
I don't hate the lyric "Burn down the Sun", I think it could've been much worse. The "nothing but a body in my mind" is a pretty decent hook. The song isn't offensively bad, but... there's just so much not quite right with it. Billy's singing mainly. is too clean and floaty like ZG. The production is just 'off'. I'm hoping the drum sound is due to compression of the rip and not the actual production. It's better than Tarantula. I will say that. But I never liked Tarantula from day one. And it certainly doesn't make this song anywhere near good enough for a Pumpkins reunion. A step back from Ogilala, even. |
