"2. Is there really a guitar solo? No wonder Iha bailed."

Have.. you ever listened to the Smashing Pumpkins? There's lots of Guitar Solos. Congrats on knowing Iha's name. Now impress me by knowing about the actual music.

Nothing but modern rock tripe. Is this really the same Will C. that wrote "1979"? God-fucking-Allah this sucks. 'Pumpkins shoulda stayed gone, or just toured and played *good* material.

Breakdown sounds like old Gish era Pumpkins. The chorus is typical Billy - minor chords throughout the vocal leads. I absolutely love it. Screw the naysayers. The hype for this album alone will guarantee success.

Best band, pumpkin heads rejoice. Don't hear Zwan in this one. What a great way to return with a single that's undeniably classic SP.

^^^ Spamming asshole.

This is a solid song. I honestly thought this was going to be a BS album, but this sounds 100% authentic. I am pretty impressed. Rock on. \m/
