 What did I just see :x Billy: bald, boring, rehashing the smae ole/smae ole Jimmy: drums: either that song has the simplist drum part or  the dude looked like he was dozing off, like the 5 year old  could play the drums to that song
  Bass: some cup-kake blonde chic, not D'arcy @nd Guitar: all i could see, some white guy that looks kinda  like James Iha
  keyboard: some cup-kake, could barely see her
  So basically: hearing "Tarantula" on the radio, I really  liked it, but wsnt sure if i was going to get it for the  $9.99, now what do you think?

wasn't impressed by the bits and pieces ive heard. my vote  goes to: DON'T DO IT. it's like going back to your ex,  expecting it to match the ideals of your memories while in  reality it'll suck just as much as it used to. probably even  more.

The new album is ok. It lacks dynamics, but there are some  very good, rocking tracks on it. Some of them are my new  favourites. But then, there are some weak Weezer-like songs  as well. 
 
  But goDel is right, it's like going back to your ex. 
  They probably looked exhausted as a result of the non stop  touring they've been doing since May. Hardly a day off.  Also, the new songs aren't really that much of a challenge  to play...

  you'd probably want to listen to the vinyl version (if there  is one). in all likelihood the cd's mastered way too loud  (resulting in clipping). in the case of the vinyl version  you don't have these problems. there are many examples where  this is the case. especially with 'popular' bands.

Well, I meant dynamics as in there are just one or two songs  that take the album in another direction. It's all about  pop/rock with the emphasis on rock (in a Weezer fashion).  Which is fine, but I would have loved some more variation.  Semantics I guess...
 
  I'll buy the vinyl as soon as it comes out though. It's one  of those 180 gram things... I doubt it will sound better  though... I heard the Zwan lp was as unlistenable as the  cd...
 
  I don't understand why they are mastering albums to sound so  loud these days... They're ruining my ears! It only seems to  be the case with the major label bands, though.

Hello Recycle,
  Redrum just phoned me up (he's still on the phone in fact),  and since i'm his bitch, he's making me write out what he  dictates, since he lacks the necessary XLPrivileges to do so  himself. I'll leave out his insults directed at me, my  family and the Swedes, since I don't think he intends them  to be transposed.. but I'm not sure, so bear with me, if any  of the following doesn't make much sense, insert an  anti-swedish racial slur here or there.
 
  ZEITGEIST - THE NEW SMASHING PUMPKINS ALBUM FIRST IMPRESSIONS: FUCKING SHITE COVER
  thought i'd hate it, recycle, since i nearly pissed myself  laughing at that crock of shit "tarantula" when I heard it  on the web. BUT the WHOLE PACKAGE didn't actually  disappoint as much as I was expecting. Some (i.e. one or  two, PERHAPS THREE - AT A PUSH) songs I found myself  thinking "I wouldn't actually mind hearing that  again"
 
  HAVING SAID THAT, I've not listened to the turd of an album  since. 
 
  The analogy of "going back to one's ex girlfriend" mentioned  earlier is perfect. It looks like the bitch has been busy  since you were gone, too. 
 
  Overall, FUCKING SHITE. Terrible, TERRIBLE lyrics that  scream "I'M TRYING TO BE POLITICAL, DOES IT SUIT ME?" and  fucking dreadful guitar hooks. Grateful it isn't as  overdriven and clipped as machina though. 
 
  Pity Billy had to go and do something like this, isn't it?

ok :)
  the album is listenable, but not worth the $11.00 at  Target.
 
  Billy had to do something like this.....? The billy howrdell(sp?) album will be great, snippets are  very good, he still has tallent, not like the bald Corgan.
