    I didn't really enjoy this album. I'm just not down with how he writes songs and especially with how he produces them.

    I actually liked it.  The last SP album I enjoyed was Zeitgiest.  I do agree with the production though.
    I just read that they have pulled Zeitgiest from all streaming platforms because some people told Corgan that it sucks... But I read it on alternative nation, so I have no idea if that's bullshit or what, lol. I can, however, confirm that it's not on Spotify anymore, so I guess it is? How stupid. Corgan back to his old tricks, haha.

    He’s on Instagram near daily. It’s been asked and he’s mentioned why, just can’t remember. His Q&A stories move quickly. His direct interactions with fans lately have been awesome.

    I also liked Zeitgeist.  I thought Tarantula was the most pumpkins song I'd heard in a while.... Haven't had a chance to listen to the new album yet.

    "Travels" is my favorite so far. Awesome record - so glad James came back!

    "With Sympathy" is my favorite off the bat. A solid effort all around here. Pleasantly surprised.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Saw them in October and loved it. Hadn’t seen them since 2007 and this was far better. 

    I like the new album too.
