Adore didn't have Jimmy but it had good vocals and it's amazing. Z had amazing drums but is just horrible because of the vocals. The worst thing to happen to The Pumpkins wasn't the line-up changes but Billy's vocal changes. And the fact that he writes such shitty lyrics now.

That I agree with to a point.
I don't hate the album as much as some do and there are a handful of songs that I don't mind from it, but if you listen to the demos that Billy was writing at the time (which were really emotional acoustic songs) it doesn't make sense how he decided to go with such a lifeless record like ZG. Instead of going with his natural state (like he did with Adore) he decided to create an obnoxious "statement" record that fell flat.
