I've seen ONE review for Mary Star of the Sea, which is out on tuesday. Very positive review, not from a very great source, but it got an A- on a standard scale. Anyone have any other links to reviews? I'm buying it anyway, but very how the album is being recieved. |
||||||||

wow, I missed an entire word, not even a typo, i straight up missed a word. but I'M very INTERESTED how the album is being recieved. fuck me, that's two words I just glossed over and forgot......... ---------- so, about those reviews? |

i went to the web site and the three songs that are available are quite good corgan will always deliver the goods |

oh I agree, but people never really warmed up to the Pumpkins, and it was politcal and stupid and teenage depression and alt/grunge. Now he plays with a huge smile on his face, like this is what he always wanted. I don't doubt it will be produced nicely, I'm just super curious how pop-america will recieve it. |

well the fashionable music now is the new garage...any band that has a name that starts with "the" since zwan doesnt start with "the" it will be supported by old faithfulls like us |
||||||||

|
I vote for a name change to "The Zwan" make me mainstream! |
||||||||

sell out already! i thought you were underground to the bone! |

according to some old thread that claims to have bill corgans sn.. hes online "theshadowssmile" this little poem is in his profile "some escape some door to open this path seems the blackest but i guess it's the soonest but there in the clearing i know you'll be wearing your young aching smile and waving your hand can't go with my heart when i can't feel what's in it i thought you'd come over but for some reason you didn't glass on the pavement under my shoe without you is all my life amounts to " unless its some hoax.. who knows |

lord knows what BC would be doing on instant messanger, but who knows :) so, where is titsworth with the inside scoop on zwan reviews? |

come on tits! I want the dirt that I know you got....... |

For what it's worth... it got 4 stars in Rollingstone. I haven't heard it yet, but I will verrry very soon. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
cool, is RS out of 5 stars? if so, that is a rather favorable rating eh? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||

It will be my next music purchase most definetly... if for nothing else for the special place in my soul Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness has earned. |

in many of the songs you hear the same Smashing Pumpkins crunch, but it is very different. I really think this is the band Corgan wanted to be in all along. |

i saw the video and tought it was a new smashing pumpks video.. cus i mean it has a girl bassist, and a mystical guitarrist much alike the one sp had, and it has billy corgan. |

Ophecks ~~~~~ for whats its worth i just got my latest rollling stone magazine, its about 20-30 pages long or short, why do i subscribe a)its cheep b)i pray that maybe every issue will have at least one good thing, or review DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE BILLY corgan after the "gish" cd ? i barely did |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
that pissed me off and still does, how people who go on about how much they disliked him, Billy Corgan RROCKED and still does. Who carres what he was singing about, the songs werre grreat. thats people and theirr fucked up brrains forr ya. |

i downloaded mary star of the sea a week ago: it is superb!! there just isn't very much wrong with the album. it's all very poppy though, but heavy still. it's upbeat; hardly a minor chord detectable. jesus i/mary star of the sea is a 14 minute blast, reminding me more of tool or slint than of smashing pumpkins. the only letdown for me is billy's singing: anyone could do his parts, or so it seems... |
||||||||

"anyone could do his parts, or so it seems... " really!? I don't know anyone else that sounds like billy corgan. Never have i listened to any other singer and thought: "hey, that guy sounds a little like billy corgan!". He's just totally unique. And one of the most unlikely voices to become so famous :-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly! on all previous corgan albums this has been the case, just not with this one..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hm... well that's weird. I haven't heard the album yet, i'll check it out and see if i feel the same. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cool, so Rollingstone gave drukqs 1 star which actually means 5 stars. And now they give Zwan 4 stars, which in reality means 2 stars. That sounds about right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im buying the album and dvd regardless if its either the greatest cd of all time, or its just corgan and friends farting into a mic....he will always be my favorite artist. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh?? how do you figure that? there was some controversy when that review appeared. the reviewer says the album is 'almost a classic' but she gave it 3 stars. it went up to 4 stars a day later. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've heard from almost everyone that zwan is terrible and most people only like them because they used to be huge smashing pumpkins fans, and so they follow billy around |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So what your telling me is that Rolling stone likes to listen to an album once, give a review, and then change their minds after a review is allready printed? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"?" ? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well judge the album yourself :P weatheredstoner: erm, yeah, that's basically what i'm telling ya. *giggles |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait, aren't you a huge SP fan? anyway, the zwan sound isn't very similar to SP stuff. Terrible, that is a strong word for what no one can deny is a group of 5 vastly talented musicians. People don't like it and say it's terrible cuz they don't like Billy? no surprises there. Still don't see any other reviews of MSofS |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
precisely. these are 5 highly respected musicians who are known to have made excellent music in the past. it can't go wrong. that's what the album sounds like, too. a bit unadventurous, perhaps. only jesus i/msots shows their full potential. |
