why does it feel like corgan is 'testing' us with this synth garbage?

[Ram27]

same with JC and his 'non-syncopated' beats that are just kick-snare nothing interesting

no one wants any of this shit. this is stupid. it fucking sucks.

and they keep prattling on in interviews like we're supposed to be impressed they're fucking handcuffing themselves and making shitty music

[LaBelle]

I think the answer is simple, they are into this themselves.

[paranoid]

it does feel abusive.

[topleybird]

What is a parasocial relationship?

[ilikeplanets]

More like how the hell did Billy land on this and why is he stuck?

[Joey Goldberg]

it's gotta be a joke

bill's gone 180 on practically everything he ever stood for or stood against back in the "golden years" so why the fuck NOT doing some goofy bullshit synth rock at least there is some hilarity in shit like "Hooray!" and what have you, plus the occasional gracing upon actual riff/drum interplay doodilidoo widows waking minds & all that

[brothahi4L]

My bet is that Avalanche will be again synthy

[Funbags]

Billy said on the podcast that:
A) Sumerian didn't like ATUM
B) The BAND wasn't even into it

He really should have listened.

ATUM is equal parts Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park and Music From The Elder. It's hot garbage with shit artwork and soulless production.

I was thinking maybe the secret psychedelic boxset album would be like Gish or Untitled, but it's probably just more Cyr crap. Cyrap, if you will.

[houseofglass11]

Is that on the latest podcast? And yeah Sumerian was right.

[houseofglass11]

Ok I skimmed it. He went on about the concept for the first ten minutes. Then he said the band didn't like the idea and Sumerian didn't like the idea either.

Then he talked about how the band was always about going against the grain and that this is no different. He said he knows that calling an album a rock opera would get people to throw stones. He also said that if this concept wasn't legitimate to him and didn't mean something he wouldn't be putting in the effort to do a 33 episode podcast about it.

There was a funny advertisement for the ATUM box set that sounded like a wrestling ad. Said it's only available at Zuzu's and that the extra 10 songs will only be on the vinyl and will not be available for streaming or anywhere else. So we will presumably have to make do with a vinyl rip of that extra stuff (rolls eyes).

Then the podcast came back and he had some weird guest on and they talked about sex robots.

[ilikeplanets]

That conversation about the robots was like a stoned teenager fever dream, and was the worst thing I've endured in some time

[eviltimeban]

I can see the 10 songs not being released at all.

For this episode I didn’t mind BC’s intro, and actually wasn’t that disappointed with Hooray (other than him throwing Ruby into the story), but the whole sex robot conversation was the first section of any episode I’ve fast-forwarded; I just couldn’t.

[Try Try Give Up]

Why is Katie Cole not an official member yet? There’s more focus on her on these last two albums than James, Jimmy and that other guy.

[BumbleBeeMouth]

What the actual ever loving fuck is hooray.

I don't know what Corgan is pulling, but he seems to be forgetting our contract. If he keeps this up and fails to deliver the quality of music he owes me, I'm pulling the plug on this "Atum" project of his and reassigning him to the customer experience department.

It was literally the worst podcast episode I’ve ever heard and whoever that Charles Fleischer guy is sounds like a complete and total wackjob imbecile.

The best music never gets released, it just sits on the shelf.

100% sounds like my high school friend's crazy dad who was into Wicca and bought us cigarettes and whiskey at 15 years old.

[ilikeplanets]

That's the type of conversation I expect from a pot dealer who works at GameStop, and not something that anyone should be saying to an audience of thousands. So freaking embarrassing.

[FoolofaTook]

Guess that means you can move along now. Or will you be hanging around for all subsequent releases to complain about each track?

[brothahi4L]

Lol fool playing the troll lover

[brothahi4L]

Reddit wpuld be the perfect place for ya fool....lots of atum lovers who praise those heavy synth layers, bilys melodies and saying it is the best since machina

[Joey Goldberg]

Don't be fooled, brothahi

that's not a post, it's a random picture of a reggaeton artist simply appearing to us as text

[FoolofaTook]

You're calling BAD BUNNY "a reggaeton artist"????


He is EL JEFE, EL REY, EL JEFE DE JEFES


I hear him EVERYWHERE.

En la calle, en el autobus, EN MI CABEZA: BAD BUNNY BAY BEH!!!
