Does Anyone Here Like Zwan?

Hughzims · 06-01-2003, 08:21 AM

Hey Everyone!

Just wondered if anyone on the message board likes Zwans album. I got it the other day and though its pretty good. Just wondered.

cap'n jazz · 06-01-2003, 09:19 AM

Is that Mary, Star of the Vast Oceans?

evilpixiecat · 06-01-2003, 09:58 AM

Yes i really enjoy it.
I am at the age now where all my favourite bands are set in stone... I am devoted and wont linger-Zwan happens to be another band i have taken under my wing in the past few years...

Zwan is healthy for me...

My children will be brought up with The pumpkins and Cat Stevens among a few select others...

jamesey · 06-01-2003, 11:37 AM

i liked zwan when they were undergroud, i.e. the first 4 california shows they did. since then theyve grown to suck. if you want the crap they put out, you may as well buy third eye blind or everclear.

pumpkins for life of course.

ZephZero33 · 06-01-2003, 11:51 AM

Does Zwan have that bald whiny singer B0lly COrgin?

Eulogy · 06-01-2003, 12:59 PM

I do.

So now that they aren't independent and signed to a major label it automatically equals suckage? that's interesting how that works.

zwan is ok.

You have earned my pity with one post - congratulations.

Lol. Yeah. WAAAAAAAH! *throws tantrum* I WANT THE HIDEOUT!

Frank N. Furter · 06-02-2003, 03:50 PM

I think MSOTS is ok, mainly because of the title track. Without that it would be pretty awful. But I have a feeling there is better stuff to come.

One thing that annoys me is how boring the other band members are, I paid extra money for the DVD with MSOTS, and it's got a load of bullshit 1 minute interviews where people talk uttter, utter SHIT. I don't find it funny that Paz is talking shit in Spanish, I don't find "OMG THE DIFFERENT INCARNATIONS OF ZWAN" deep at all... I find it really really bullshit and sad.

Travis Meekz · 06-02-2003, 05:27 PM

I do. I think they are better than what they've recorded though.
*Waits for next cd*

eraserhead · 06-02-2003, 05:48 PM

the songs are ok but the album sucks. they have so much potential but they arent using it.

mono · 06-02-2003, 06:08 PM

Well, after the rendition of Spilled Milk last Saturday, I have to admit I like Zwan a whole lot more than before last Saturday.

Zwan blows ass. I'd rather subject myself to a Creed-Matchbox 20 marathon.

no, it has nothing to do with that. how could i possibly like the smashing pumpkins if that was true?

zwan has gone from good music to shit music.

I love the rat in the cage song!

Rat in a cage song >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MSOTS (Album)

King of Devious · 06-04-2003, 01:31 AM

i was so excited about zwan, and told all my friends how awesolme the pumpkins are, and how sweet zwan will be. I dragged my friends to concerts, and hyped up the new album coming out.

of course, when i finally got msots in the mail, i was so pissed. I just couldnt believe how bad it was.

I think there are 4 songs on msots that i like, the rest are terrible.

Zwan was a huge let down for me

i bet you have a thing for splinter.

Cassius · 06-04-2003, 09:08 PM

I like em, if you can look at them apart from the pumpkins they are pretty decent, and it is only their first album together.

Actually it was 'Honestly' that got me into the pumpkins in the first place.....

I heard all the zwan hype and i saw the video a few times, didnt strike me as great but i downloaded a few pumpkins tracks and really loved them.

Now i totally love the pumpkins

so i gotta thank zwan for not sucking that badly that i never gave em a chance

That’s absolutely ridiculous. Aside from the Djali stuff, the True Poets of Zwan / MSOTS Zwan is extremely similar in nature. In fact, the stuff off MSOTS is more based around guitar solos, hooks and riffs more so than what was played at the first four shows. The only song I personally miss from the early shows is Chrysanthemum. There isn’t much of a difference in style between the two as people make it out to be. It more of the excitement of those shows “Billy and Jimmy’s new band” that makes people think it was better. Musically, it stayed the same.

hoser · 06-05-2003, 04:20 PM

no too much.....but i will buy the cds go to the shows......and sit in line for 12hours...but i still need billy to write songs like he did before.....just too different.....from what expected.....i need stuff like machina demos, 88-89demos....great stuff....i need more of that

hoser

RopeyLopey · 06-05-2003, 05:12 PM

at first I didn't like the album that much except MSOTS, but now it's really growing on me.... I need happy songs these days, it makes me feel better...

BeautyOfTheDead · 06-06-2003, 09:15 PM

Yeah I like it.

I mean it's really good, but sometimes I feel I only like it because I feel obligated...

I know I'm not the only one either!!!

At least he's honest y'know. I go through phases where the Pumpkins bore me but I still listen to them 1hr a day. I don't feel normal if I don't.
