Lineup 2015

[Gucci Piggy]

what do you get out of being a pretentious twat

There was a guy who used to post on here that did exactly that; I don't think you've been on here long enough to have known that. I think that's what tourette was making a joke about.

Oy.

What do I get out of it? Nothing, it's all to benefit you. I don't expect thanks, the knowledge that I make a difference is enough for me.

And as Will says, it's a running joke.

Is everyone going to predict them now when they probably won't play.

Would be awesome if they did though

Pretty much the reason I didn't post it when I read it.

"Smashing Pumpkins to release two albums next year"

"Cool. NME headline?"

"No, you fucking idiot"

[Tobieski]

Let me live in hope

[mrtourette]

Call me skeptical but I'm not confident there'll be enough quality material to spread over two albums.

They are one of the few bands to release a double album that did have enough.

That was a long time ago though.

Bill's whittling down over 150 tracks. Quality is obviously subjective though, Billy could get rid of two album's worth of phenomenal tracks there.

P.S. Is it skeptical or sceptical?

Yeah 'twas a good album but my take on more recent stuff doesn't fill me with excitement at this prospect, but he's always been one for grandiose and dramatic stateemnts so I'd imagine there's a specific reason for two albums (ie the themes behind them) that make the fact that there's two more important than the music.

Depends on where you're from, as I'm American I'll go with the former and JEEZ WHAT ARE YOU THE GODDAM SPELLING COPS

I thought Oceania was decent, but yeah, I'm not particularly excited for it.

GUYS!

Take it to the NIN thread where it belongs.

I wasn't excited for Oceania but that album restored by interest in future studio output.

[Tobieski]

Oceania was certainly an improvement on the likes of Zeitgeist, but it wasn't exactly great.

[kaosmark2]

improvement on Zeitgeist,

Not saying much.

[dentalplan]

Nobody said it was great, but it was the best album they've done since MCATIS.

[Tobieski]

Not saying much.

Exactly

Adore?

[dentalplan]

Adore?

Not a fan.

[The Placid Casual]

I wouldn't say they've released anything great since Mellon Collie personally

EDIT: I swear you said a couple of months ago that you hadn't listened to anything post Mellon Collie because there was no point.

I love zeitgeist and Oceania!

I love zeitgeist and Oceania!

Do they appeal to your sensibilities as a songwriter?
