Title: Reeks of desperation
Review: Oh Billy, Billy. What are you doing? Are you that desperate to regain the spark you had? "Machina" is pretentious over-achievement-not a good thing. Why is it this is the only Pumpkins album I found absolutely nothing to grasp onto? When "Adore" came out you were so hyped about it and it's new direction, as was I. I liked that album a lot. Now all I hear from you is how much of a misstep that one was and how this is a return to form. I don't think so. Absolutely no chances were taken on this one. All I hear are a bunch of fuzz guitars and pretentious lyrics hiding non-existant songs. Besides that many of the slower-tempo songs sound straight out of 1985, but I digress. Come on Billy. Remember that little contest you had in your head with Trent Reznor? Well, with the "Fragile" out the score at this point is Trent-4, Billy-4 with the clock of relevance ticking rather quickly. Irrevelance-fear it Billy.
Is the review positive or negative?
