Smashing Pumpkins to Fans, Indie Stores: Fuck You
Warning: Excessive greed may cause baldness, artistic impotence

 
Well, that\'s the nail in the coffin, then. Just when we were slightly, slightly starting to care about the Smashing Pumpkins again-- what with the release of their long-awaited new album Zeitgeist, and its not-terrible first single, "Tarantula"-- here comes something that makes us more than a bit mellon collie.

Billy and company would like you to know that they fully support the extinction of the American independent record store at the hand of large, faceless, little-guy-crushing big boxes. They also support bleeding their fans dry. How? By releasing FOUR different versions of Zeitgeist.

Best Buy and Target each get a version with an exclusive bonus track. So does iTunes. Like, a different one for each. Everybody else gets the regular version with no bonus tracks. So if you want all of the bonus tracks, you have to buy an album at Best Buy, an album at Target, and an album at iTunes. (Ooh, the presale iTunes version also comes with an extra set of Smashing Pumpkins covers by the Bravery, the Academy Is..., Panic at the Disco, Test Your Reflex, and +44. Ooh.)

Making fans who\'ve been waiting the better part of a decade for new Smashing Pumpkins tunes buy an album several times over is, you know, bullshit. My god, you have to go to Target (and only Target!) to get the version with the title track! That just ain\'t right.

The Smashing Pumpkins are on tour. Whatever.

They are coming to Boston in the fall, I\'m gonna wait till then.

Dave you really love the album huh?? I have kind of mixed feelings about it. My favorite track right now is probably the last one, Pomp and Circumstance.

Overall though I think the energy is a little off..... the power of MCIS/SiameseDream just isn\'t there except in a couple tracks. This might be a result of having recorded the album before they played the songs live though.

I really like the album tooo. Especially 7 Shades Of Black, Bleeding The Orchid, Thats The Way, and Doomsday Clock. I really don\'t like Starz that much and i think (Come On) Let\'s Go! sounds a little too much like it belongs on Mary Star Of The Sea, but overall i think its a great album and i like it a lot more than i was expecting to.

only one listen so far, but that\'s what i came out with on that one listen. it definitely exceeded my expectations. is it SD or MCIS? hell no. but i\'m definitely impressed. i think corgan\'s vocals are a little too on top of the mix a lot, but at the same time, a lot of the whining is gone, and that\'s a good thing, imo...

it will definitely get a lot more listens in the next few days/weeks..
