Arrow MCIS

Why can't the Pumpkins and Billy make music like this anymore? Listening the bonus discs just make me wonder why we can't have amazing music from this band anymore. I know Billy wants to try different stuff and we all grow and change. The songs on MCIS are really classic though and most importantly there's so much soul and feeling here which is really something that's been lacking with Zeitgeist, American Gothic, and Oceania too.

This inevitably happens to all bands/artists. Eventually, all artists become shells of themselves. Sadly, in the case of the Smashing Pumpkins I think Billy can still write a good tune now and again, he just no longer knows how to execute well. Everything sounds too sterile, generic and predictable. I also agree with the people who have said that Billy's voice has kinda gone with age.

I agree. Also, for those of you who have been Smashing Pumpkins fans for a very long time, you know that Billy has always described the band as a "progressive rock band," and swears that he will not repeat his sound from record to record. I remember with each new pumpkins release from Siamese Dream on, the sound of the records were very different each time. In reading interviews, Billy has consistently maintained that he purposely "progresses" and changes the band's sound to continue to reinvent the band. I find this to be very true, each record is distinct from previous efforts. For some, this is a frustrating aspect of the band's sound. For others, it is refreshing to hear the band try new things out. I agree that lately, the songs do sound quite generic, as if they lost a great deal of atmosphere. To each his/her own. I am happy that billy is still making music though.
