Crucify the Insincere: A Smashing Pumpkins Thread

[VinylGuy]

damn lenny go!!

i hope i can see these guys soon, they are killing live and the setlists are awesome

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Yeah I watched some videos from a few of last year's shows and really made me lean toward going. I have no reason not to, and tickets aren't that unreasonably priced.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

You should definitely go. They've been sounding great, and I'm pretty sure Interpol still rip live, too.

I haven't really listened to Interpol since their first two albums and even that's been a long, long time ago. Not sure how much i'd enjoy them these days, but i'm sure I wouldn't mind them live.

Cenotaph is really good yeah. I love how the acoustic guitar sounds and how everything is build towards it.

There are a lot of Pink Floyd moments in this album. Floyd circa The Division Bell.

Ticket purchased

Listened to Zeitgeist in full; with all the extra tracks from the different edition. What a fucking great album.

Starz grew up on my in a big way. Is this jimmy’s definitive album?

[Huell]

Have gone from thinking ATUM was absolute shite to picking a decent dozen tunes, and now after listening to the CD in the car that this is a very good album with a few clangers in it. The podcast quality made them sound really cheap, but though it sounded great today.

[Ello Sailor]

I had the exact same experience re: the podcast. I actually saved the third act to hear in full for this reason. I really love the production.

Mate, I told you!

Is this jimmy’s definitive album?

No, that's Gish or Siamese Dream. But it's a very strong Jimmy record.

yeah, production is good. He is still very prominent in the mix, but i can take it.

Also, i really loved all the podcast stuff...I never followed the Atum story and Billy is insufferable but every talk about the atum sessions and the old songs were amazing.

Kinda made me jump back to different times. I might even go back to Future Embrace!

Yeah, i remember you being a huge Starz fan. I listened to that youtube remixed comp and damn its a banger.

Listening to that podcast about the album also helped.

[VinylGuy]

Damn, Save Your Tears from Cyr is so fucking good

sounds like something from the Adore era

[Ello Sailor]

Hey, I told you that one, too!

You should really subscribe to my newsletter.

[VinylGuy]

forgot about that

Listened to Cyr in full after a long time, and yes, its a very strong album

[i got bugs]

I really like Act 3. Tapers off a little towards the end, but there are some big hitters on here.

"Cenotaph" is probably my fav. song of theirs since Machina. It's absolutely stunning. God damn.

First song post red statue of liberty album I don't hate

[VinylGuy]

i know its a beloved album here, but damn if Shiny vol1 doesnt sound as a more classic SP album, specially after listening to Oceania's first 4 songs.

Marching On is a personal favorite.

[Ello Sailor]

I like Silvery Sometimes and Marchin' On, but currently I'd call that album their worst. Rick Rubin is a hack lol

[tree_]

Been listening to these guys quite a bit. Raz is digging it. Just the songs I know are good, mostly. I don't have the courage to explore stuff after Melancholies' sadness yet.

Can "Muzzle" and "Rocket" coexist in a Smashing Pumpkins playlist or are they way too similar to each other
