syntaxfunction posted:Devin Townsend is the superior pale white, tall as gently caress Nosferatu musician. Interesting. I feel that 'Monuments to an Elegy' has been their best post breakup album. Also....as long as Corgan continues along with this synth rock thing that he's been pursuing....the albums will be immediately forgettable for me. Eventually he'll move on to something else....hopefully something better. Edit number 2. I decided against buying tickets to see them in concert this time around. If I lived in Canada.....and been around for one of the dates where Our Lady Peace was filling in for Jane's Addiction.....I absolutely would have bought tickets.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Ok, so I talk a lot of poo poo about recent Pumpkins (we all do, tbf), but I found Aeronaut far and away not only one of the best songs he's written in recent memory, but it stands up against great, classic SP. It doesn't necessarily 'fit' with older stuff, but emotionally, it's as impactful, to me, as something from MCIS and/or Adore. I never really checked out Corgan's solo stuff.....but really you could almost consider Smashing Pumpkins his solo stuff too considering how much control he has over the writing, composing, and direction of the music. Never heard this song....but it's very good. I'll have to check out the rest. Side note.....small annoyance......but Corgan sings about "lovers" too much in his songs.

I have faith that Billy will circle back around to making badass music with loud distorted guitars and banging rear end drums. Someday.

I've listened to both Act I & II previously. But I decided to listen from beginning to end today....now that it's been released in its entirety. In my opinion.....this is a good single album with two extra albums worth of fluff packed in-between. So I guess I'm not going to ding it too much because of the extra fluff. That's just an annoyance that makes me more likely to cherry pick the tracks I like and forget that a full album exists on my shelf. Seriously....Corgan has to have people around him begging him to ditch the heavily synth usage. A lot of the fluff tracks can't even really be considered "interesting" because they all sound so much like other tracks on the album. Also....nobody wants a "rock opera". Save the fluff for a deluxe edition.

Just when I got used to.....and accepted that digipaks are the new standard packaging for CDs. ATUM as a triple album digi is flimsy as all hell.....and will fall apart if you touch it wrong. Will say that they accompanying booklet is pretty great. Simple....but provides the tag-along narrative for each song. So I do appreciate that....and it'll make me far more likely to relisten to the entire album.

Got the MCIS 4LP box set and it's very nice. Nicer than I had expected.
