Whatcha think?
Album out Monday...gonna buy?
I wasn't a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan but I also didn't hate them and I have that damn Honestly song stuck in my head which is making me want to buy the album. Plus I'm off to France on Monday so I could do with a nice new album to listen to on the way there. Just a shame I changed pretty much all my money into Euros today, hopefully I'll be able to afford it.
Not sure if that made sense but I can't concentrate right now.

*Listen to SD all the time.....forever!*
Hehe. I shall.
Hehe. I shall.
Heh, that bits cool.
You got me listening to it now.
Before you buy download a track from 'Diary', 'LP2' and 'How It Feels TO Be Something On'. Or just go on cdnow.com and listen to the samples when you get your speakers working.
Then you can tell which one you'll like best.

I shall have to buy it.
Now...
On Sliverfu*ck, towards the end, there is a final instrumental solo.
Billy kicks the music back in after a purely vocals section, and then James, D'Arcy and Jimmy all kick in with their respective brilliance. 'I HEAR WHAT YOU WANT, AND I FEEL THE SAME' Billy screams, and then for a split second, the music falters, the guitars whine, and Jimmy seems to wrap it up slightly...........and then the most fantastic, frantic, speedy and incredible creshcendo erupts, as James and Billy power out rising riffs, and Jimmy powers away behind them.
That would be the on moment I would want to see live. Ever.

Couldn't resist.

I love listening and hearing new stuff. I point it out toa friend but he doesn't notice but then I say "LISTEN!" and he hears.
Diary and LP2 are simple and very melodic and alot more rocky.
How It Feels To Be Something On has a different type of singing and a totally new direction of where they wanted to go. It also has the worst song by them on it. The Prophet...why oh why did they do that song for?
Anyway, LP2 and Diary have Jeremy doing vocals in great ways and him on the guitar going off to his own tune, then Dan is on the other guitar going off on his, then Nate (Foo Fighters Bassist) is just amazing and goes off on his own little thing throughout and the drumming is superb. So if you put that altogether you get loads of different melodys which sound great together. Each person is playing their own little song, it's great. So I can turn a track on and say "Oh I'll listen to Dan more this time" or "Nate this time". Nate is crazy Bassist.
In the song Seven, just before the chorus the drums go "SMASH SMASH SMASH" then one guitar goes with the "SMASH SMASH SMASH" then the bass comes in from his little riff onto the "SMASH SMASH SMASH" then in comes the bass with acting really as a 3rd guitar and then the second guitar (who just finished his riff) with the echo of the other guitar who just finished that riff but is still going.
*takes a breathe"
Then it's..."YOU'LL TASTE IT!"..."YOU'LL TASTE IT!"..."WITH TIME"
I love that bit :-P

Methinks I shall be buying that one......
Pumpkins always managed to mix loud and quiet music incredibly well, creating epics, beautiful songs, simple melodical songs, fantastic rock songs, and most of all, songs that you could listen to over and over again, and hear new things, new meanings, and most of all, just brilliance.
*rant over*
Anyway......
:D

It's alot less raw yet packed with beauty. More epic. Challenging to listen to.
The perfect album to play in bed through earphones for me.

I just read a review of the star album thing, How It Feels To Be Something On.
The reviewer wrote this:
"the album's closer, picks up the softer moments of the Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream and catapults them straight to heaven."
:-D
