Machina was a great record, its just the concept sucked

I seem to be reading somewhere that the new music was very guitar oriented, and there are songs with loads of guitar tracks layed down... But I quite liked their electro stuff too, so we'll see... I never heard Billy Corgans solo album, so can't judge anything from that. I'm not so sure if this new album will be so brilliant, though...

On that basis I'm going to vote hate, because I definitely don't love them.

i dont like them. i never understand why creatively inferior bands are basically treated like geniuses and given massive recording budgets.

I can only hope so. If that's true, then I do look forward to it. I probably won't buy it, just because I'm not THAT big of a fan, but in case their next album is their final album, I'd like to see them go out with something decent, and not just more of their electronic junk that they had done.

If it's Gish and Siamese Dream, then hell yes, I love them

joe11121 · 04.04.2009, 11:37 PM

Love them. Gish + SD are amazing, MCIS + Adore are good, Machina sucks, maye like 3 good songs, Zeitgeist is crappy, but has a few good ones

Death & the Maiden · 04.05.2009, 12:36 AM

This thread's just over two years old. Why bump it? (We all know you like SP).
Anyway, I don't like them.

pbradley · 04.05.2009, 01:25 AM

Would be lying if I said I never liked them. I sure did as an angst-ridden young teenager with little in the way of exposure to better alternative music. Perhaps this has given me a more sympathetic and perhaps nostalgic appreciation of their early tunes. By any road, I've left them behind and do not listen to them anymore. I don't hate them, I don't like them, I don't think one way or the other.

I will maintain that they have had some fine tunes, though.

I never thought they were angsty at all, mainly because they never get across much sense of emotion whatsoever. Just a bunch of nice sounding heavy rock songs, nowt more, and nowt less.

Derek · 04.05.2009, 02:09 PM

Siamese Dream is a GREAT album!

rest sucks though

Derek · 04.05.2009, 02:26 PM

Okay okay, Adore is listenable and Gish has it's moments. I'd be right though if I said that Mellon Collie is one of the worst albums I've ever heard.
