Great post, but I couldn't disagree more with this. The improved clarity is super noticeable on 95% of M2 tracks.
Maybe you need more time with it on quality headphones.
Ok yeah I was exaggerating. They are definitely cleaner versions and there's more clarity, but other than that e.g. Slow Dawn isn't really that different from the original M2 version.
But I don't really know what I expected. Maybe that they'll do more production tricks on these and we'll get totally revamped versions. But maybe it's good they didn't. At least if it had meant more modern Corgan vocals.
I want to be a warm and friendly person
But I don't know how to do it

Everyone is dunking on the packaging. It's hardly fancy.
The music rules, but I'm glad I didn't pay $400 for this.
The new YUNGBLOOD/Pumpkins song sounds like Hoobastank or some shit. It's ridiculous. Billy's verse vocals are nice, which feels weird to type, but that's about it!
Really enjoyed this conversation. Melissa has a bit of wackadoo-New-Age-auntie energy, but I really enjoyed getting her thoughts and perspective.
Also Billy's constant "let me finish" is hilarious.

Nice to see MADM palling around with Corgan and Courtney Love lately. There are rumblings about her possibly going on tour with the latter, which I would go see.
yeah, i was surprised to see Anthony at hid bday and holding the cake! Marilyn Manson was also there but they have toured together a lot in 2017 so that made more sense
