   Lizziegreeneyes says I am more a GISH girl - so everything since then has kinda been less for me than the first - I love SD & MC&tIS... but GISH was my heart. Looking forward to listening to it to see what my reaction will be - not expecting much at all - maybe that will help :) Thanks for the review darlin, trust your thoughts !!!

   SatisfiedMind614 says I am curious to see what people think about it Liz...in my mind, Melon Collie... was the last record they ever made...after that things just sort of fell apart...if ever a band needed ALL of its original members to recapture that past magic, its these guys....just not the same without James and Darcy

   deadmandeadman says Yes, I agree. It sounds as though Mr Corgan and his ersatz pumpkins are treading water, playing roles. An artist shouldn't do tributes to himself.

   Lizziegreeneyes says How could it be... Iha & Darcy really made the SP sound unique - it wasn't the Billy show - much as he might disagree :) Will check it out tomorrow & see what I think - really doubt I'll come with a different opinion to yours though Blair !!!

   chucky says I preordered it yesterday on itunes. I will *make* myself like it if it comes to that. But, I have faith in Billy Corgan.

    Lizziegreeneyes says errmmmm, yeah. I uh.... well.... you see there was this... uh.... well actually, erm... oh hell, I was forced at gunpoint to get the album ahead of schedule... Blair can be so mean sometimes ;) (just kiddin Blair) !!!! When I saw it - figured it was out - I should have known better - in the back of my mind now, I remember seeing it on iTunes as a preorder !!! *Ash:* Did you read his book of poetry... the man totally lost me on that one ?? He is a *+spectacular lyricist+* (in my own humble opinion), but his poetry - stinkin pile o' stink. I know kids in second grade who can write better poems.

    Lizziegreeneyes says Well... maybe it's cuz I had very low expectations from the single that came out, or the fact that they really aren't the SP any longer - but on first listen, I'm diggin Zeitgeist. It's not even close to a favorite - but it's good and angry the way I like my Corgan... I think it's less stylized than Zwan, less structure... I am liking it better than I did Zwan - at least on it's initial listen - got at least 8 more to go before I have a final opinion.
