Beguiled is their biggest hit since 2007
 
via Billboard: Currently charting #10 on mainstream rock and #8 on US Rock Airplay. Peak positions as of this week. It's a very positive sign that their position has increased steadily since the release. And rare for a band that's been around this long.

Maybe even more impressive is that Tarantula (peak #6 in 2007) was in the web of the hype of the comeback album, well before anyone knew what to expect.

Maybe they know what they're doing after all.

The hit song no one is talking about

MyKeyZ 11-29-2022 11:31 PM

That or there is just a lot of shit rock music out currently

run2pee 11-29-2022 11:36 PM

Wow

Good for them, i guess

paranoid 11-30-2022 12:45 AM

yeah i really think the tide is turning in their favor this time around.. and i have a feeling ATUM isn't going to be panned in reviews.

the last few shows were all really positive from what i saw. lots of young kids, singing along to beguiled (at least in my section).. i have some students that are wearing their shirts.. shit i wasn't seeing even a few years ago.

I guess we need to

Then these kids will stream the album and wonder where the guitar is. Beguiled is an advertisement for an album that doesn’t exist.

ilikeplanets 11-30-2022 01:24 AM

Do you guys sincerely like Beguiled or is it like a lesser of two evils toleration?

These are perhaps the most netphorian responses ever to this type of news.

Twenty songs to go. TWENTY. Not including the ten on the vinyl release that BC said sounds nothing like the rest of the record. The psychedelic album within an album. For a lot of bands, that's two or three records. Years of output. We don't know what Atum is yet.

ilikeplanets 11-30-2022 02:04 AM

it's actually painful to be this skeptical, really

Remember when billy spammed up the video with dozens of unknown people so nobody would know who's in the band?

LMAO Mainstream Rock and US Rock Airplay made little sense in 2007 and now don't mean jackshit.

Godsmack, Bush, Nickelback, Falling in Reverse...it's an indian reserve with very small numbers.

Morlock 11-30-2022 06:10 AM

So weird to see these charts. None of that music is stuff I listen currently, and I really don't like the slick sound of much of this music. That song by Ghost is the best on this list, in my opinion.

Good heavy rock from this year: black midi, The Bobby Lees, Dead Cross, The Afghan Whigs

My favorite albums this year: Raw Data Feel by Everything Everything, WE by Arcade Fire, Unlimited Love by RHCP, Bellevue by The Bobby Lees

TheAlter 11-30-2022 06:26 AM

If i was a dictator RHCP would be eliminated.

lol rofl


let's break a leg for Momma who deserve every bit of contempt but have made a great album after all.

houseofglass11 11-30-2022 06:33 AM

There’s a lot of glass half full here. That’s fine but given that Cyr was 20 songs and really no surprises or highlights (aside from that ‘swoon’ track) I think we can say that Atum is probably going to trend the same way. We’ve already heard half of it when you i,nclude Beguiled, Harmageddon, Avalanche, and Neophyte. Also didn’t someone say that so called ‘psychedelic’ album hasn’t even been recorded yet? I wouldn’t hold out much hope for that. Doubt Corgan would just toss off his best work as some bonus disc.

VoxUpDoc 11-30-2022 06:44 AM

Not releasing his best work has been a BC trend for 25 years.

eviltimeban 11-30-2022 07:16 AM

It's not even a bonus disc, right? It's a series of 7" singles or something. Which will make it even more annoying to listen to.

enthusaroo 11-30-2022 07:38 AM

Beguiled is one of the worst songs I've ever heard lol

Crepe 11-30-2022 08:50 AM

I think Shiny 3 aka 10 bonus songs has been recorded for a while. iirc they started recorded it before CYR was released.

At least that’s what he said on that Zane Lowe interview promoting Cyr. Back then it was 60% done. Maybe he scrapped it like the Christmas album who know

Edit : morning brain fart
