    Billy Corgan speaks his own language I swear

    Idk wtf he is trying to say with that statement but it sounds heartfelt.

    It sounds like he just wants us to listen as a whole but the whole go home again thing was weird.

    Ayo where the Smash Pumpies reviews at?

    I've listened to this front to back twice now, and I definitely have some thoughts.

    I'll start with the negatives. I really have not been a fan of Corgan's vocals from the 2010s onwards, and this album is no exception. It has none of the grit it did in the 90s on the heavier tracks, and none of the beauty it used to have on softer tracks. Very sterile sounding. My next issue is the the songwriting. The entire listen I was hoping for some sort of chorus I could latch on to, but it's nowhere to be found. I don't think I could tell you a single lyric from this entire album, which leads me into my next issue: the vocals are pretty much unintelligible throughout the entire album. The Smashing Pumpkins are no strangers to letting vocals take a back seat in the mix, but this time around, everything is so crowded that you literally can't understand a word he's saying half the time. If they gave the instruments just a little bit of room to breath, this could've been one of their best sounding albums sonically since the 90s.

    The positives: They're finally back to making full rock albums, and this is EASILY their best album since Zeitgeist. Where I'd consider most of the material from the 2010s onward nearly unlistenable, this album genuinely has some great moments. On my first listen, there were actually some parts that made me think "wow, this sounds like Siamese Dream" or more often Zeitgeist. Make no mistake though, this is absolutely its own album in terms of sound. This album's greatest strength is its nasty riffs, even stepping into metal territory at times. I just wish the production wasn't so flat, sterile and lifeless. There are moments on this albums that are meant to sound and feel huge that ultimately kind of fall flat because of that.

    Overall, I wouldn't necessarily call this a return to form, but it's a huge step in the right direction. If Corgan can tap into his 90s vocals and songwriting ever again, and not be afraid to embrace the old school, messy, noisy pumpkins sound, the next album could be genuinely great. Iha and Chamberlain are certainly pulling their weight, we just need Billy to seal the deal. For now though, I can only review what they gave us. I'd probably put this at a 5 or 6/10, but it very well could be a grower once I learn some of the lyrics.

    Looking forward to giving it a spin, will set aside a bit of time for this and possibly the new JW album during the week.
