I agree with trag, billy’s voice is just too upfront. Thats a problem they had in monuments too. But i love the music. Jimmy is such a beast. Im really exited for the next 7 songs...and yes some dream pop please.

One of life's great mysteries is how Billy Corgan forgot how to record an album that doesn't sound like complete shit. That's not even a nice sounding demo.

yeah, that super compressed production with a billion guitars worked so well for them on SD and MCATIS. I dug the sound of Adore, but everything since has been a steady decline into crappier acoustics.
It's probably a lot of work to record 50 guitar tracks and play all the instruments like he did in the past. Even the artwork looks like clip art on this one.

yeah, the song basically has no groove at all. There are no lows. No bass. Its weird. But it does sound better than anything from Monuments, the worst SP sounding album ever i would say.
Maybe Corgan put out a leftover song from one of the shit albums like monuments to try and prove that if people perceived it as written by the "real" pumpkins they would accept it and love it? I really hope this is what happened because the response is obviously that the song still sucks regardless.

I think he had Solara for the next album Day for night, or something like that. Jimmy played drums there too i think, but he left the record unfinished.

This song is at least four years old (if I understand correctly), so that makes a horrifying kind of sense.
