Title: Really Bad
Review: I have liked the Smashing Pumpkins since they first came out with "Gish". I was one of the first to wear that ugly purple shirt with that rocket-thingee on it. As a long-time fan of this band I have to say it was a huge disappointment. I thought having Jimmy back on drums would have given this band a kick, brought them back to their roots and out of their electronic-induced haze. If anything his drums were mixed WAY too loud. This album is not what the critics say. I have read reviews that say "the Smashing Pumkins are back with their rock sound." This album is way too electronic and way too little rock. It's not even something I can say that I'd have to get used to, I can't. There are maybe three solid songs on this album. If you are a fan of "Gish," "Siamese Dream" or "Mellon Collie..." you will hate this album. Evolving is one thing but this is another. Don't know if it's a Flood influence or if Billy is bored. Wait to buy it used if you must have it. Not worth the 9.99 we paid for it.
Is the review positive or negative?
