Smashing Pumpkins

[GnFnR87]

5 different cd's,.. what a sad cash grab,? ? i gave up on this band when D'arcy left (got fired?)--? she was my pretend girlfriend.? ?

it sucks, but its a record label decision. i doubt Billy had any say over it. and besides, we get extra songs!!


people who have listened to it: whats your opinion on the production? it seems to have divided the fanbase. many say billy's vocals are pushed too far in front in the mix.

still holding out...9 days.....

I'm really enjoying what I've heard. I think there's some filler here, but some real standouts, too. Might just get me out there to pick up a copy. I'll give it a few more listens. I still won't spoil Libertad, however. My buying that is a given. I kinda spoiled Eat Me, Drink Me and Year Zero that way this year I still love them both.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but afer the first listen, I'll take Zwan over Zeitgeist.  Hopefully it will grown on me with more listens...

awesome quality videos of the secret show in madrid.

i love this band, with axl dicking us around this is the next best thing.

5 days till the album release!!!

the pumpkins will be on letterman next monday and friday.

[GnFnR87]

i have all the bonus songs now, if anyone wants them.

[von]

You know, I take back what I said before. There's no filler on this album, although some of it takes a few listens to really grow on you. I love it. One of the best this year and a welcome comeback. Favorite track right now is "Bleeding the Orchid."

[Communist China]

The bonus tracks are alright, nothing amazing, but they're growing on me. Better than some of the filler they had on Mellon Collie even.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

Which of the bonus tracks would you guys say is the best?

I'm leaning towards buying this album from Target to pick up the title track but I wanted to get a few opinions first

They're all okay. I don't have a clear favorite. Zeitgeist is as good or better though than the others. You'll end up with them all anyway, if you want.

[von]

Did anyone get to catch them on Live Earth? I didn't. I saw AFI and The Police and a few others here and there throughout the day, but this really disappoints me. Anyway....

SMASHING PUMPKINS' entire four-song set from yesterday's Live Earth concert in New York has been posted at YouTube. The group's setlist was as follows:

01. United States
02. Bullet With Butterfly Wings
03. Tarantula
04. Today

Spinner.com reports: "Frontman Billy Corgan, looking one part mental patient and one part prison inmate, unleashed 'United States' from the band's new 'Zeitgeist' album on the crowd, meshing in 'The Star Spangled Banner' during his guitar solo. 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings' followed, played at punk-rock speeds with fellow original Pumpkin Jimmy Chamberlain furiously smashing away behind his 'kit. In what may have been a comment on the Live Earth proceedings, Corgan changed the lyrics, singing 'Can you fake it for just one rock show?'

"As the band shifted into the next song, Corgan cheekily introduced it as 'Tar-an-too-lah,' otherwise known as their current single, 'Tarantula'. He reminded the global audience that the band's new album is released on Tuesday, joking, 'We know you're all gonna buy it, not illegally download it like you did all our other albums.'"

yeah i caught it, i was hoping for a longer set but it was still cool.

it was the first time i heard United States although it was a much shortened version.

Ginger was lookin' hotttt.

[von]

Ginger definately is hot. Especially in the "Tarantula" video. By the way, of the bonus tracks, my favorite is "Death from Above" and least favorite is "Zeitgeist."

[Communist China]

That's what I like to see. They open a set for a huge crowd with a song on a yet-to-be-released album that isn't the single. Good setlist and good performance. I'm ready for the 10th.

[bazgnr]

Okay, I'm out of the loop here.  Can anyone brief me on the bonus tracks?
