Wow, maybe more worthwhile bands are showing up in Singapore. When I lived there, the entire country went nuts when the Red Hot Chili Peppers showed up.
Yeah, this is one reason the Flaming Lips can do no wrong in my book. They’ve always been a “we will do whatever the fuck we want” kind of band from the very beginning. Even though a lot of their material has been questionable, it has still been done with a love for music.
I honestly can’t decide if this is better or worse than if they had just written some new songs.
This sounds like Deep Purple’s Bananas…a whole lot about nothing. It’s aging rock stars going through the motions. Eddie hardly looks like he cares. Back in high school when I was just discovering Van Halen I might have cared about this reunion. Now I feel like it would just depress me.
I’ll just reiterate what some of you guys have said…I’m pretty excited for the new Pumpkins album. I didn’t think the day would come where I could say that again.
If this album is crap then I’m giving up for good. This is your last chance, Billy.
Wow…really great interview. I’m with you guys…I’m really excited for this album now. It could all be Corgan hype, but he seemed pretty genuine about it. He nailed it on the head, too, their work since the band reformed has lost the emotional depth that made the old stuff so great. Without that connection, it’s really just a nasally guy noodling around on his guitar. If this album can recapture any of the old stuffs’ vibes, then I’d say it’s a win.
Ok…while this is good it really highlights some frustration I’ve been having with the music that’s been churned out the past few years. Loads of synth and dreamy vocals do not make a creative and original song. It’s now easier than ever to record your own near-professional quality music so where is the creativity?
Sure, but I bet you would be pretty excited if one of your favorite bands got up there. I can’t say I lose sleep over this stuff, but if the Cure had made it I’d be pumped.
Damn…after reading that I’ll be incredibly disappointed if it doesn’t happen. What if they all get up there, play, and shake hands after? A sign 2012 really is the end of the world?
I’d have to see the whole thing, but from the clip I’m not so sure the music really fits. There is a very specific vibe to silent film scores…it would have been cool if Air utilized that a bit. You know…make it modern. It just sound like…well…how Air usually sounds.
Believe it or not, Billy is always reaching to relive the Siamese era. Back when they broke up in 2000 and they released Untitled, Billy commented on how people were telling him it sounded like Siamese era Pumpkins. His response was something along the lines of…”See…told you we could bust that sound out anytime…we were just, like, holding it back…”
Alcest has a new album coming? Awesome! Hopefully less death metal and more shoegaze like their first full length.
And 0 comments? For shame…everyone go pick up Souvenirs D’un Autre Monde and Ecailles De Lune like…now.
Nice…I’ll be using this list to discover some new music. There’s a guy that calls himself Xander Harris? I’m heading there first on name alone…
I like it…there has been some decent music coming out of the nu gaze scene. Ringo Deathstarr, Morpheme, Gliss and quite a few others are really mining this sound. Sadly, it’s only a matter of time before it gets really tired and boring, but I’ll enjoy it while it’s going strong.
Nice to finally see a list with Unknown Mortal Orchestra on there. It’s definitely one of the most addictive albums of the year.
I’m a fan of Black Tambourine…so don’t get me wrong, I’ll listen to the new release…but what sparked the reunion? 21 years later they want to give it another go? Will anyone besides shoegazers and twee poppers care?
