I can't wait for the Machina I and II remasters, especially Machina II. The vinyl rips are all questionable at best IIRC. Some of them added all kinds of stupid EQ and filters to try and make the vinyl sound "better", but I think they were just compensating for lovely equipment or lovely ripping techniques in the first place. I think the "good" copy I have is from Q101 but even still I'd really like to hear the originals. The few tracks that made it onto Rotten Apples sound so much better than the vinyl rips.

Calling josh freese a nin drummer is a stretch. Might as well call him an Avril Lavigne drummer while we’re at it

He was the NIN touring drummer in 2007-2010 and did some work on their albums during that time. I don't know if it's correct to call him a studio musician, because he does a lot of solo stuff too, but he does take a lot of studio gigs. He has drummed on several studio albums for: Devo Guns N Roses A Perfect Circle Rob Zombie Avril Lavigne The Offspring Kelly Clarkson Evanescence Ween Clay Aiken Static-X Sting Queens of the Stone Age Miley Cyrus Katy Perry Selena Gomez Weezer Bruce Springsteen and dozens, dozens more.

I don't buy that Machina II sounds lovely because it's a vinyl rip. I have heard tons of vinyl rips of commercial albums taken on bottom of the barrel consumer turntables, and they sound "fine". It sounds lovely because Billy wanted it to sound that way.

New Billy solo album out on the 22nd:quote:COTILLIONS: NOV 22, this double album, a true labor of love, is available on all digital platforms. All you have to do is pre-subscribe so you can see the song titles and have it waiting for you the moment it comes out. Don’t miss the chance to hear it for yourself before others tell you what my songs are or aren’t. There is a reason I trust you, the people who support me day in and day out, to decide whether or not my efforts are worthy. We live in a different world now, where an artist can speak directly to you without the filter of mass media shaping your heart and opinions before you’ve even had a chance to decide whether this music speaks to you. And this is absolutely an album from my heart. And so is the new SP, which will be out soon enough. I can’t thank you enough for the support I’ve been given to make moments like this possible. Soon, we’ll have details on how you can order a vinyl copy, of which there will be 2 editions; the Zuzu’s version being limited and having more in it. Lastly, please give love to the artist who made the statues on the front cover, @avassfez and shot the cover and all images within, @jennyfaridathastrom. Now, go pre-subscribe for this record.

I upgraded my turntable cartridge and the notoriously lovely vinyl rerelease of MCIS actually sounds good now. I heard some people say it was fine and that you just needed a better needle. At the time I wrote it off but I guess they weren't lying/crazy. Zero sounded loving atrocious before, just a distorted mess, now it sounds normal and I haven't even aligned the cartridge properly yet. It's a shame, because a lot of people returned their copies of MCIS, but it turns out you just need to spend $250+ USD on a better needle

Baron von Eevl posted:I like how unfaithful it is to the original vinyl release too, which had a wildly different song order than the CD and cassette versions. My understanding is that the vinyl mastering process actually hosed a lot of poo poo up like they cut Zero way too loud for how close to the center of the record it is and it gets kinda warped. Yeah it's horrendous unless you spend big bucks on an expensive stylus that can track it a bit easier. All songs that are close to the spindle on that pressing sound bad, but Zero is turbofucked.

I finally got around to listening to the two newest songs, all I have to say holy poo poo he is finally singing like his old self again. It sounds like these could have came out around the early 2000s, like Zwan era (just talking about the style of singing, not the music or production).

Framboise posted:I could swear I read somewhere that he did acid? Something about the "open your eyes to these mustard lies" being something he heard when tripping so he put it in Rhinoceros or something. lmfao "Well, it's a horrible video, I'll start there. The concept was, originally we were supposed to play in a very, very small red room. And when we got to the set that day, it was a very, very large red room. And we were like, what're we supposed to do? So the video is basically like, us being bored, um, most of the video. Literally, like us being bored on camera. At one point the record company wanted to release it as a single, and we're like "But the song's 5 minutes long", & they were trying to figure out how to edit it. That's kinda what I mean by the band's naivete, I mean- now you would say, that's a pretty good pop song, "she knows, she knows, she knows", good cat- good hook. We had no consciousness about time or length, we just would write the songs, & if they were 5 minutes long, or 7 minutes long, that's how long they were. That song is actually somewhat inspired by my first LSD trip. I was tripping my brains out for the first time, and- I was probably 22? 21? And uh, I had this prophetic, you know, this beautiful, inspired moment, I thought, "I must write this down." So I scribbled on a piece of paper this great insight, & I woke up the next day & I was like, "What was that thing that I scribbled down?" & it said, "Open your eyes to these mustard lies." So I actually put the line in the song."

Now that the band has been "reunited" longer than the original lineup even existed, is it wrong that there are post reunion eras that I wish they'd go back to? There was a brief time after Zeitgeist where it seemed like they were experimenting with more garage/psych sounds and I was really stoked. Superchrist, As Rome Burns, Gossamer were all great and I was excited for new pumpkins music again. But then Teargarden happened I wish I could find this in higher quality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CUAu08RmmA polyester concept fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Oct 26, 2020 |

I am sure Jimmy has very personal reasons why he doesn't work with other bands. Also, there are a bunch of amazing drummers that are relatively unknown. Drummers typically don't get as much credit as other band members, except by fellow musicians or critics. Also Grohl was never popular as the Nirvana drummer, he only got fame as the frontman of Foo Fighters afterward. Then people were like, oh yeah, he is an amazing drummer too. Dave has a very public facing, extroverted personality it seems like. I don't think I have ever heard Jimmy speak more than a few words. And then you have people like Josh Freese who has played for every band on the planet. polyester concept fucked around with this message at 19:43 on Jan 6, 2021 |

i know music and art in general is a constant struggle between doing what you want and doing what your fans want, but jesus christ billy, nobody gives a poo poo about any kind of "story" behind these albums. is there even a single fan who is asking "gosh i wish i knew how the lush and epic saga of mellon collie ends"

He sings "I'm the face in your dreams of glass" in Zero, which can be vaguely interpreted as an early reference to the Glass character in Machina. That's all I ever picked up after years and years of listening.

The continuation of MCIS and Machina is the continuation of the story of his characters Zero and Glass, whatever the gently caress that even is. It has nothing to do with the sound. I am listening to the first single now but I can't bring myself to watch the video

I first saw them live after driving 12 hours to see them in Vancouver on their zeitgeist tour, because I wasn’t old enough to travel before they broke up in 2000. I knew it wast the best comeback album but I still listened to it a lot because drat it, I wanted it to be good. I still sometimes wear the t shirt from that tour when im being lazy around the house e: Zwan was good, actually. Silvery Sometimes kinda sounds like a zwan song imo polyester concept fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Sep 27, 2022 |
