Crucify the Insincere: A Smashing Pumpkins Thread

I like quite a big number of songs from his latter years so im not the one to respond to that.

I think the last Corgan song that really kicked my ass was Tarantula.

[LoathedVermin72]

Yeah, same here

In retrospect zeitgeist is kind of a masterpiece, many good songs on there. It just needs a proper remaster.

zeitgeist is a favorite. Not only the album but also that era, lots of great stuff like Superchrist, gossamer, glow. I also like most of Teargarden, but the studio versions kinda suck.
Then i dont care for Oceania but really like Shiny and Atum. Monuments is ok but i dont need to listen to it. CYR is bloated but good.

The last one is unlistenable for me so far...i say this because it always happens with Corgan that i come back to an album and really like it.

Im in the mood for some Machina reissue ....Real Love is pretty cool...i dont quite understand the mix though...but it kinda feels he was going for something close to 1979 here

[Ello Sailor]

Nice. I listened to nothing else for about a month when it dropped. It's amazing.

[VinylGuy]

The Imploding Voice is another great song. One Moment is a very interesting idea but its not quite there...but he was channeling a very creative space in those sessions

[VinylGuy]

Oh wow this version of Speed Kills is gorgeous...the solo is beautiful.

[VinylGuy]

Ah, Dross is so fucking good. A great mix between Mellon Collie and Adore maybe? The riff is fucking huge

[VinylGuy]

Studio version of Winterlong is gorgeous...he played this one a lot live during the Zeitgeist tour, i remember it being on the If All Goes Wrong dvd but this is great

[VinylGuy]

In My Body sounds awesome, very groovy, something he really failed in the last album to get

[VinylGuy]

Innosense is another beauty that could have been a hit...and the Try(again) is miles better than Try Try Try

[Chris_H_2]

I’m kind of digging Tame Impala’s cover of Hummer.

[VinylGuy]

Holy Shit!!!
