Gotta love how Billy says that pop music and it's music videos are basically porn then has a pair of naked women in the Being Beige video.

corgan's career has basically been about contradicting himself for the past 15 years i'd be surprised if he hadn't pulled that



then again nudity doesn't always equate to porn neccesarily but i get yer point

"Being Beige" is pretty good. Otherwise, this is the most boring Pumpkins album, musically, lyrically, atmospherically.

its got its moments but really, it doesnt warrant too many play backs. One you hear it a few times, its good to put it down for awhile. g0 back to it in a few months or so

I certainly dont wish that. there's plenty of good things on this record. Plus, all artists go through slumps. What if Bowie would have given up after lets dance and tonight?

Tonight and Let's Dance are way better than anything post-Adore by the Pumpkins

bruh you ain't serious are you?



I've had this argument too many times, so i wont even delve into it. Seriously though, give the machinas a chance. fantastic albums. If it really bothers you, just skip the everlasting gaze. Thats everyone's go to reason. "But the music video for the everlasting gaze!!!" yeah, its shit. The song itself, not that great. But there are some songs on machina 1, and 2, that are the best of their discography. With every light, Heres to the atom bomb, real love, this time, let me give the world to you, if there is a god, glass and the ghost children, age of innocence, stand inside your love.

I actually kind of like Tonight, and Let's Dance is okay, neither Bowie's strongest work but they each have their gems.

" If it really bothers you, just skip the everlasting gaze. "



Everlasting Gaze is 1 of the only 2 songs I like on it lol, the other being Age of Innocence, the rest is either boring and unfocused as hell, or in Heavy Metal Machine's case, god awful and droning.

lol i'll give you that. heavy metal machine is just so bad. I have to skip it. but damn, if youve really given it a shot and hate that, then that's fine. I just cant see how anyone could hate it. I listen to the machinas more than i listen to any other pumpkins record. i mean, mellon collie and adore are better, but i just think machina has such fantastic replay value.



Oh and one more thing. Oceania is great, if hes got another one of those in him, hell yeah keep going

Well I actually liked that EP, probably the only Pumpkins 2000s output I enjoy.

half of it is very much 90s (apathy's last kiss is siamese-dream era for instance)

i think that first track is even some cleaned up 80s demo? don't quote me on that tho
