Default Smashing Pumpkins - New CD
I have to say, I am REALLY surprised it is as good as it is. Billy has really 'found' the old school feeling. It seems like he has a type of song from all his records. Has the Gish hard core jam and the Siamese "Today" type feel.

Really pumped about it

Scav..I'll forgive your Sox WS post ( 3 ys in a row?), but curious about your Pumpkins post. I LOVE old Pumpkins ( Cherub, Stand Inside, Untitled etc) but haven't quite got the same love affair with this new stuff ( yet). I think Jimmy is too bombastic because he is a true "Pumpkin" and they play that up and Billy is too out there as well. Look at those earlier songs I mentioned..Billy is subtle..well, subtle for Billy and it's all James and the wall of guitar

Agreed..half a smashed Pumpkin is better than no smashed Pumpkins

If you can find their performance of Cherub Rock on Saturday Night Live on You Tube, or anywhere..check it out. That's when I was hooked
