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.
