Negative Positive
Title: Boring
Review: With everyone saying that Machina marked a return to good ol' rock and roll for the Pumpkins, I couldn't wait to go and get this cd. Unfortunately, I was hugely dissapointed. There are only three or four tracks out of fifteen that truly rock and that's including the two singles. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy slower soothing music but nothing on this album is soothing. All of the slower songs are just full of electronic nonsense or boring, repetitive riffs. There is no musical exploration like on SP efforts before Adore. Most of the tracks are 4-6 minute long torture sessions. My last complaint is that Machina drags on way too long and lacks diversity. There a few good songs such as "The Everlasting Gaze", "Stand Inside Your Love", "Heavy Metal Machine", and "The Imploding Voice", but overall this is a pile of pretentious musical sawdust. If you enjoyed Gish, Siamese Dream, or Pisces Iscariot, do not waste your cash on Machina/Machines of God.
