Default Zeitgiest v.pumpkins

Sort of a spinoff from the watchmen thread...

I just gave this album it's first thorough listen through (i.e. good headphones, no distractions), and although I'm not super-impressed, I'm very happy with the end result. It definitely lacks the polished sound of everything Corgan has made since Siamese Dream, but that's kinda a good thing. Its just plain old rock, and the sound brings me comfortably back to the early 90's... kinda reminds me of Gish. It's also kinda funny that the Pumpkins came out of the woodwork to make a "political" album... when you listen to it, it doesn't sound that political, but apparently that was the intent. Another cool point: a few short guitar solos scattered through the album that sound like straight up power ballad stuff. h:

Song chosen at random:


you can search for more if you care.

I didn't get a chance to pick this up and then I totally forgot about it.
(It's Zeitgeist)
Thanks for the reminder.

Machina I was actually good. Zeitgeist got rave reviews all over.

Heck, I'm heading to BB now to pick it up.
