Sorry, but I LOVE Billy’s vocals on ATUM.
Keep seeing comments on the internet complaining how big willie (WPC) has changed his singing style, how it’s not produced like it use to be, somebody even called it “dry gasping and croaking” which is just insulting.
For me it feels like big willie is right next to me, confiding his poetic thoughts into my eager ear, while the music swells and swoons in the distance. Yes his voice has changed, but for me it’s charming, he’s not the kind of artist that let aging vocal chords stop him from sharing his passion Who else loves this new Billy! |

To me the problem is less about the sound of his voice (I get it age comes, voices change, whatever) than it is the super cheesy saccharine melodies he insists on using on every single song for the past bunch of albums, it's so grating and annoying.

I think people are just unwilling to grow with Big Willie as an artist, people have a strange “stuck in the past” problem with this band for some reason

Keep trying. The more you listen you will begin to “get it.” I recommend not listening to any “classic” pumpkins until u begin to understand and (inevitably) love the new singing style. You will feel the brilliance of the new stuff so much more!!!! |

There are fewer songs from SP 2.0+ that I love in the same way I did classic SP. I have, however, enjoyed the journey of the reformed band. I feel like the trajectory has been upward, even if there have been some stumbles, and I feel Boz & Co. may still have another truly great album in them.
I don't believe that the new singing style is holding them back from another 10/10 album. |

yeah i can't even begin to intone how fucking off putting everything he does now is
the shitty leftover microwave cyr tracks that make up 2/3 of the fucking first record, each week having some naive hope it'd be good but then it's fucking SYNTH FUCKING GARBAGE AGAIN AND FUCKING AGAIN LIKE FUCKING WORLD WAR I BUT WITH SYNTH INSTEAD OF GAS ATTACKS every single vocal is nauseating. i can hear him croak and squeak and it's fucking painful to listen to. it's actively unpleasant to listen to and then -- i guess this isn't technically the tracks' fault but -- knowing fucking iha and JC are sitting on the sidelines while corgan vomits more of this stuff to us my fucking god |
