geek USA into Mayonaise is the peak of alternative music. I don't understand why he abandoned that sound.

u aint wrong

SHE REALLY LOVES TO BREAK
HER DAD SAYS ITS OK
SHE REALLY LOVES TO BREEEAAAK
AND GIVE IT ALL AWAY

Siamese Dream was great but the evolution into Mellon Collie was good and I wouldnt want to miss it. Everything after that fucking sucks

>>126842513
Adore is good

>>126842348
break what?

yeah I really like Geek USA too, the one song people don't seem to agree with me is Luna which is top 2 songs on the album for me, pure romantic bliss

>>126842513
i root so hard for Billie but the new releases never work out, he was such a musical genius in the 90s that its hard to fathom he doesn't have a comeback album in him, love him to death but he really must've gone up his ass, he should've pivoted to some kind of King Crimson Red inspired version of what he does

>>126842286 (OP)
lmao wtf is wrong with his voice why is he singing like that?

>>126844394
did you just listen to smashing pumpkins for the first time? holy zoomer

>>126844394
its called singing with pure endearing soul straight from inside, he sounds amazing depending on the song like 1979

>>126844383
Yup. That’s something SP fans have always struggled to explain… if the guys such a genius where are the fucking 21st century tracks…

I personally hate Radiohead but they casually shit out stuff better than what Billy can manage

Same thing goes for Beck who I like…

Real songwriters.

99% of artists suck after their prime

>>126842286 (OP)
Every single SP album was like a completely different band. If it wasn't for BC's instantly recognizable voice then you'd never have been able to tell it was the same group.

>>126842286 (OP)
stop overthinking mainstream albums for casuals

>>126842286 (OP)
coming from someone who listened to Gish pretty much daily, Siamese Dream was the perfect follow up and I listened to that motherfucker almost daily. collected all the singles to get the awesome b-sides (most ended up on Pisces Iscariot but I had 'em already) and was super stoked for Mellon Collie. man, what a let down. ditching Vig for Flood? fucking why? Corgan turning his whiny-ness up even further than it already was. half the shit was filler.
I dropped my favorite band.

>>126843290
His dick, nigga

>>126844366
hell yes, i love Luna so much

Siamese Dream (title track) should have been on the album

>>126843206
Adore is so slept on what the fuck. He lost his mind after that tho

>>126844366
Luna and Soma..absolutely beautiful

He got fat old and rich. The idea that he can make music like when he was younger is silly.

>>126844820
Both Beck and Radiohead haven't made a good album in a decade and they both peaked a quarter of a century ago.

>>126854437
Radioheads last released album was a decade ago..

>>126854457
Yeah and it wasn't even that good compared to their best work. Just like Billie, they lost the magic a long time ago. That's just how it goes when artists become rich and surrounded by yes-men.

>>126844820
Machina and Zwan had some bangers

Radiohead haven't made a good album since 1993.

>>126842286 (OP)
is this satire? ppl actually listen to this strumming-heavy garbage? disarm's the only decent song he has.

>>126856277
disarm? do you have any testosterone?

>>126856277
>strumming-heavy garbage
no test

>>126856222
Radiohead haven't made a good album.

Don't you people get bored of circling around this sort of dicussion everytime

I don't give a shit what anyone thinks, Zwan was alright

where were you when Billy literally sang Kino multiple times

Here's the actual answer:
People shit on D'arcy but she had one specific thing that made great SP albums. She was the only person with enough balls to tell Billy "no", and got him to reign in or adjust his ideas
There's a reason why the last peak album was when she was there fully, and the last semi-ok album was the album she was half there for. Once she left no one else, band members or producers or execs, had the balls to tell him no.

>>126863456
based if true

>>126863456
I've never heard this but it fits with the album history at least. interesting take.
she was vehemently against joining the reunion despite being invited. it sounded like sour grapes at the time but maybe this explains it

has anyone ever recreated the production in a DAW? is it possible?
