Neither of those two tracks are doing it for me. Curious to hear some more. Still hoping for a vinyl pressing or Zeitgeist one of these days.

 

I’d settle for having Zeitgeist available on Apple Music!

 

"Colour of Love" is cool

 

Even that!

 

CYR is pretty cool and yeah - Zeitgeist needs to be repressed/added to Apple Music

 

Credit to Billy for still being willing to push his own musical boundaries, and I welcome the change in style, but these are just not good songs

 

Honestly, Billy’s voice is the worst part about the songs

 

Sumerian records huh? didnt expect that

 

I dig it, honestly. It's great to hear them do something new.

 

been for years now

 

The last 2 tracks are much better than the first 2. I like that clap sample in "Wrath." Sounds like the LM-1.

 

Since Zeitgeist at least

 

Billy's voice is fine, especially for being 53 - stop hating lol

 

it really isn't lol

 

Agreed!

 

I don't understand why people give the pumpkins so much shit. Their music spans over 30 years and I dont think there are any terrible albums. I understand Billy can be a pain in the ass sometimes but they play an important part in Rock music in my opinion.

 

I'm really liking Anno Satana. Not so much the other.

 

So have they just gone straight synthpop on this album or are they saving the more rock material for the album's full release? I love myself some Synthpop but that's not usually what I expect from them haha. I've always loved Eye though.

Out of the six songs so far Anna Satana is the best by a fair margin imo

 

If the whole album goes in this synthpop route, that'll be a real waste of having Jimmy Chamberlin as your drummer. He deserves to go HAM on at least one song!

 

i'm suddenly so hyped for this thing

"anno satana" is an amazing song

 

Yeah my excitement for this grew back with Dulcet in E.

Also I spun Machina for the first time in a while the other day. I almost forgot how amazing Wound is.

 

Are we ever going to get Machina II released? I would like that.

 

Yep! Someone posted Billy's recent IG post about it. They're currently working on a Machina 1&2 rerelease.
