Title: Good background noise, not good listening
Review: I'd like to qualify this by saying that I'm a huge Pumpkins fan. I particularly like Siamese Dream and Melon Collie. But with Adore, they started to sound a little stale, and I think Billy set out to prove all critics wrong at that point. Machina makes use of the talented new drummer and brings a much harder edge that adore was lacking. But what they haven't managed to right is the feeling that they don't have anything more to say with their music. The lyrics here just aren't the beautiful lyrics I remember - and miss - from the earlier albums. I play this in the background while I do other things, not to listen to directly
