Seriously, that might just be the best impressions for an album I've ever read on here, or well, anywhere, in quite some time. Better than what some stupid journalist just trying to write something up could do. Excellent work.

You could try thinking for yourself and not reading this stuff.

his description sounds real accurate to me - he pointed out the lazy vocal delivery, guitar reminiscent of sirens, harmonies

I really think people need to take a deep breath and wait to hear the whole album. The first time I heard Doomsday Clock, it immediately kicked into 7 Shades, which is a superior song, and then to Bleeding the Orchid, which is an amazing song. I didn't play Doomsday Clock, then hit <<| and listen to it 20 more times, pulling my hair out at how disappointing it was. I'd scoff at the people here that were avoiding the Arising songs and TEG single when Machina was on the horizon, but now I kinda see their point.
I might downgrade the 9 to an 8 or 7 in hindsight, especially after this board shitstorm. I'm sorry if I raised everyone's expectations too high. But seriously, people are overreacting. The song has been out for half a day. It's a brainless, rocking opener. Not every song has to change the world. This track definitely has the driest vocals of the lot, but the vocal tracking and effects are prevalent throughout. If people can't handle that, well, god help this board come July 10th. |

I disagree with most of the opinions posted about Doomsday Clock and most of Billy Corgan's works with various groups and solo. Machina and The Future Embrace are great albums. Mary Star of the Sea is a very relaxing album. Yeah, Siamese Dream and MCIS are two of the best albums of the 1990s, in my opinion. Adore was better live, but still is an album I can listen to beginning to end without becoming bored.
Perhaps I am an unconditional fan, but not consciously. The only album I had to adjust to like was Gish. Everything else I loved from the first listen to now. Thanks for your review, Implosion. Tarantula and Doomsday Clock has satisfied me. Hopefully the rest of the album maintains that. |

if you are an eddie jones fan and not a troll you are awesome.
thinking tfe is a great album negates some of that but not all of them. |

Implosion: seriously, your review was dead on. And I totally agree that the song probably makes more sense in a larger context, especially if you described the lyrics as lazy...to me that indicates that a) it was most likely intended and b) that the rest of the album is different. And vocal effects? Bring em on. Its always been one of my favorite parts about the Pumpkins - those lines that catch you by surprise. I remember hearing Ava Adore for the first time and loving what they had done with the vocals. I couldnt tell you what was so cool about them now, Im so used to hearing the song...but ya...bring it! |

Eddie Jones is my all time favorite basketball player. To me, he represents class and overcoming odds. He is comparable to Billy Corgan in that he is, in my opinion, unfairly criticized. They do have their differences though. Eddie Jones' facial hair grows a lot better.
I do love TFE though. I even listen to Strayz. I hope someone in Asheville has their audio recording device ready. I live in NC and never heard about tickets going on sale |
