Anyone else besides Acie and I enjoy the Smashing Pumpkins?

[MFJ]

I was skeptical when I heard about the reunion because Billy Corgan a tool of the church now. They have a new album coming out in like five days and there's a new track at www.myspace.com/smashingpumpkins if anyone cares to sample it.

It's not the best, but it grows on you. I'm hoping that it's just the crap radio single of the album and that the rest is better. Time will tell. Either way, this band used to be 100% incredible, and nothing will ever change what used to be.

corgan has an annoying voice.

i hate that band. stay away

 

[Reign in Acai]

corgan has an annoying voice.

This statement applies to their new material most definitely. Though I don't mind the band's old material much, as it brings back memories of my teen years.

2 stars.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Yeah, a like some of it for it's nostalgic factor.

 

[Demilich]

I've tried countless times to get into this band, and some of their stuff is decent, but I ain't going crazy over 'em.

[Krigloch the Furious]

His voice has gotta be the worst of all time.

I saw them get boo'ed off the stage when opening for the Chili Peppers in the late 80's. They were totally unknown, they were fucking awful, and people were throwing shit the entire time they were on stage. A year or two later they were huge and I bet those same people who were throwing shit were first in line for tickets when they toured. Lemmings.

I like some of their older heavier stuff but, yeah, the voice is awful.
