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

For some reason I saw Fall Out Boy on The Today Show Friday morning..I really want to like them ( from Chicago, etc) but I just don't get it. I'm glad young people have a passion for music, but I guess I'm getting old.

Saw The Smithereens Thursday night at our town's fest..5TH time seeing them...awesome

I liked Arms Race though..I'll listen again. Need a "new" band to get hooked on..Allman Brothers will be dead soon...

In my humble opinion Jimmy Eat World is the best band around right now. I suggest listening to their CD Clarity, it's very, very good.
I'm with you on Jimmy ..It's a good album .oops..CD...ooops..download.

White Stripes rock, My Morning Jacket..excellent
