Right on, man. Billy's voice is awesome. So what if the vocals are loud! Now more than ever, I'm so glad the Pumpkins are coming out with another album. Mainstream music is in a phase where flawless vocals are almost like a requirement, so it's nice SP is there to spit in the face of that bandwagon.
Poor AlphaSnake is going to have a heart attack when he hears Doomsday Clock, lolz
terrene: What do you think of Doomsday Clock?! Your impressions make me laugh, even if I often disagree with them.

Why does Billy Corgan's music still sound like it did 10 years ago? What a terrible track. He's just coasting along on the Pumpkins' existing success, don't get me started on his lyrics: self-indulgent adolescent nonsense that anyone would and should laugh at! What a joke. Unimaginative, predictable, platitudinous, stagnant.

Seriously, I was even understating my case. Gish came out in 91 and Siamese Dream in 93--that's friggin 15 years ago. What has he contributed to music since then, besides his big ego and his unbearable personality?

you don't think MCIS was a good record? i guess it's all personal opinion anyways. if you think the new songs suck, and the band has sucked for the past 10 years anyways why do you even care? just pop in some gish or SD and remember the good times... the good times!!!1

Yeah, you're right man. I was just hoping to rile up some SP fans, get them all angry and stuff. You're just too reasonable, you're a live and let live kinda type.

I love how people hate his personality and ego, you know...being around him all the time and all.

Hats off to the Smashing Pumpkins crowd, hats off, you're quite a tolerant crowd. Which doesn't mean I step back from the insults I hurled at you earlier. No, no, they still stand. In fact, I would like to re-hurl 'em, with the same vehemence as earlier. Maybe people didn't feel it.
Er... You probably don't wanna know. After the "ropes of pure load" post I'd feel like a killjoy nerding out with my nitpicks at this point.Diablos said:
I think I just don't have any reference point to process this kind of shit, right now. In 1995 this would've made a lot of sense to me. It's a good effort, and for those who can get into the glam/over-production/2x4-to-the-faceness of the whole Zeitgeist thing [Paris Hilton artwork and all]... more power to them.

no one even ****ing cares dude, give it up. maybe if more than one person commented on your blatant, unecessary corgan-bashing, you would have reason to continously post, but no...you just troop on even though no one gives two shits.
Um, lots of awesome music?
Or we could just put you on our ignore lists
Anyway the more I listen to Doomsday Clock, the more I like it. It's honestly no better or worse than, say, something like Zero. Billy's done better, but he's done worse. And for the 100th time if you are disappointed with this song, I can honestly say that of all the live ones I've heard, this was always the weakest to me. Actually, the only weak one. Every other song I've heard has really impressed me. Even 7 Shades of Black has a really cool Gish vibe to it.

My first imression is that I really don't like it. Its got a good guitar/drum beat going, but the backup voices and that middle part with the electronica-esque sound where he screams are terrible. And does he really say "the jackals lick their balls"? WTF?
I was trying to think of what the guitar/drum beat sound like in previous work. I'm thinking "Mouths of Babes". I'll have to try to compare the two later.

Doomsday Clock is no classic, but it's a pretty decent track. The lyrics are as woeful as you expect from a Corgan rock song (I maintain that Adore is by far and away his best effort in that respect and that his quieter songs in general contain far better lyrics than the heavier ones) but this album seems as though it will be a solid release, which is far better than the embarrassment which was quite feasible when the project was announced.

i think bc is a pretty good lyriccist. he has stinkers just like every artist does (because you are? :lol ) but overall i like his lyrics. the lyrics in doomsday clock aren't god awful. most of the lyrics are drowned out by the heavy music anyways.
doomsday clock gets an 86.6% from me!

So I've got an extra ticket for the first SF show (7/15). None of my friends are big enough (or rich enough) SP fans to fly/drive+hotel up to SF, so I'm flying up solo using airline mileage (they put me on this tiny plane that only holds like 50 people...>_<) and going to the show.
I thought about trying to talk some sweet SF girl into going with me, but I realized I'm going to see the freaking Smashing Pumpkins for the first time in 7-8 years and I really don't want to have to be thinking about random dating things when I just want to be rocking out to the show.
I thought about trying to sell it, but A. I hate scalpers with a passion and B. I don't want to meet some random guy from craigslist who might be a serial killer and try to kill me and steal 'my' ticket as well.
So instead I'll open this up to gaffers who post enough that I know they aren't creepy psychos and want to go to the show. Ticketmaster fee was like $10 a ticket (WTF! I hate Ticketmaster), so I'll just sell it at face value for $35.
PM me if interested.

Yeah, this is kinda bullshit.

Also where the **** is Gossamer
I love how only Germany gets the bonus DVD, btw. WTF
Zeitgeist is pretty short (standard edition); I wish they would just have all of the tracks on the album (hell, the Best Buy one is thrown right into the middle of the regular tracklisting, implying it could work just as well as a standard album track). Then, sell one special edition with the booklet and DVD.
I can't see how this is going to give them a sales boost. If anything, it's going to keep people from buying it.

Seeing how Death from Above, the Best Buy track, is also the Tarantula b-side, I'll just get the album at Target.
I dislike the idea of digital distribution and ownership, so no iTunes version for me.

Diablos said:What happened to Gossamer
I know they recorded it, as you can plainly see it on the studio pic I posted earlier in this thread.
Dude, calm down. They're probably hanging onto it as a b-side for the second single.
Or, Corgan is personally ****ing with you.
They seem pretty tizzight here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S7A_k3OKX8
I remember watching this and feeling bad for Corgan for being involved with her. "Doting?!?"
