Probably true. Normal people I meet who aren't die-hard Pumpkins fans already accuse MCIS of being good, but overblown with too many "filler" tracks. And I'm like, what? There are only two songs on the entire album I ever really skip. But of course there are. I'm a fanboy and not representative of the average listener.
Now that Corgan doesn't even have goodwill amongst die-hards anymore, it's unlikely that anybody will want to go through a thirty-three-song album in a sitting other than Sad Machines and people paid to listen to it to review it. And even the latter group will barely listen to it and just claim that they did because they get paid the same either way.
