Title: After this I'm glad they called it quits
Review: Pretty much garbage. Touted as their "return to rock" but it's more like their "return to sinking deeper into the mire of our overwrought angst." Kind of surprising after "Adore," which was really kind of an upswing for them (them being Corgan, D'Arcy and Iha then). The funny thing is, the music generally shows promise, as with the first few bars you're tapping your foot along with the melody, then BAM in comes the cracking whine of Corgan, much more whiney than ever (and I thought it wasn't even possible!). You then realize the music is generic and uninspired, at best. Oh well. At least all of the other Pumpkins releases are worth owning.
Is the review positive or negative?
