I have been listening to this alot the few days, super mellow but such a great album. Listening to this makes me even more mad that Zeitgeist was ever released. Even the worst Pumpkins is far better than Zeitgeist.

    while i agree that zeitgeist was pretty horrible, the 4 song acoustic EP they released shortly after it was a return to form for the pumpkins IMO... im looking forward to the next album... hopefully itll have less keyboards

    You mean American Gothic? I thought it was also horrible.

    I haven't really liked any Pumpkins since Mellon Collie....Adore had a few good tracks, the rest has been, IMO, very mediocre.

    Sad, considering Siamese Dream is one of my all time favorite albums.

    Zeitgeist is fucking amazing. Especially hearing the songs live three times at the fillmore in SF.

    I generally don't like everything on their cds, but I like some of the songs *very much* so I just listen to what I like.

    Would've been perfect had Jimmy not fucked up. Love the outtake Chewing Gum.

    its all about the live shows.

    Check out songs from the 1998 tour on youtube, they had some crazy sounds and percussion at the shows, awesome.

    I gotta say Im a pretty huge fan of the entire pumpkins catalogue. I think Billy can do whatever the hell he wants and make it sound amazing ya know. Like you could give that guy a friggin swiffer sweeper and a piece of gum and he could make a cool song out of it. I mean I know there are a few tracks from Machina that are total wtf moments but overall I think he's great. And I would say I think Zeitgeist was the best album I heard that year. (far better than the avacado imo)

    Yeah, I think he's got a lot of talent too. Even though he can't always sing and he sometimes steals bits of songs from other places... ;):D

    His voice is for sure an aquired taste that you either love or hate. As far as stealing bits of songs.... like thats never been done before cough*giventofly*cough

    Yes, it has been done before, it's just so very obvious at times. He has bass-lines and rhythms he's lifted from well-known songs and he doesn't even try to hide them!! :)

    Ehhh...I'm going to disagree with you there.


    Adore is very, very underrated and has some amazing songs. Corgans vocals are exceptional on the album. American Gothic sounded like suck rock.

    While I greatly enjoy Adore, I agree with the previous comment in that Jimmy should've been there. I remember Billy once said that had he been there then Adore would've sounded a lot like "In the Arms of Sleep" from Mellon Collie.

    Slightly off topic but, could anyone tell me if "Pisces Iscariot," is worth a listen?
    Obviously i have heard the song "Landslide," but i am not sure whether the rest of the album is worth a listen.
    Any input would be nice.

    of course it is, all their stuff is worth listening

    la dolly vita
    starla
    blew away
    girl name sandoz
    hello kitty kat
    landslide.

    are just some of the great songs that come to mind

    I'm partial to Zeitgeist because that was the album i was playing before and after i aced my job interview in the High School i'm currently employed in. The specific song playing was "7 Shades of Black". The album really isn't that good though.
