being a huge SP fan since the gish days, and im not hoping for any miracles anymore from BC,
but this last record just feels very disjointed. ~ the first two tracks could have easily been mixed
into one, i dont see the reason to have those songs sound basically the same, same mix ect...
the title track was very disjointed as well, and overall the entire record has a very 70's feel too it,
alot of PInk Floyd keyboard style infulence. the one singular track i did enjoy was "Inkless" but
the more i listen too it, its "hummer" turned into a pop song.
it breaks my heart, because i want to love the new music, i dont compare anything he does to the past,
i do try and be objective, but sadly this is his worst outing from an album stand point. there's no cohesive
message at all with this record, not that it needs one, but what is this record trying to say?
is it a flash back to the 70's?
is it a techno record with some rock/pop thrown in? i thought he did that on his solo effort
yes its alot better than all the emo/brit pop garbage thats out there currently, but its not up to a
Billy Corgan standard of what his fans have expected of him, i just was hoping for something new,
and not re-hashed sounds/riffs. again, i still love the band, always will, but ya i cringed alot when
hearing this last effort.
