holy SHIT The Celestials.... WOWWWWWW.

[Parksey]

so is this better than japandroids new album or?

[Elphenor]

Nevermind, I'm listening to it now!

[Ruby Ring]

What an incredible record.

I am so proud pf Billy, Jeff, Nicole, and Mike. Billy, you knocked it out of the park, brother.

Am I out of my mind when I say Glissandra is my favorite song? There is something so 80s about these songs. Some of them take me right back to 1987. I can't explain it. The outro to Oceania is amazing.

Stunning.

[dudehitscar]

Not feeling glissandra much.

[mattsevrens]

Someone rip it so I can listen to it in the car and get a surround sound experience

Makes me feel horrible for doubting. This song makes me tear up a little every time.

So I guess this is gonna get rave reviews and also have a "soars above expectations"/"return to form" vibe to most of them. Woot.

nah, i really cant see reviewers enjoying this, i do see alot of SP fans being won back though.

[dudehitscar]

Last track... Here we go.

yeah same here, holy hell. The clip sounded nice, but I did not expect THAT...

[Coker]

The Celestials is really cool.

[Arnold_Schwarzenegger]

Album is unbelievable. I had no expectations going in after how terrible Teargarden was, but Billy has outdone himself here. I need a rip too, I can't wait a week to have this cranked in my car! I'll be buying this the morning it's released.

The last four songs are just perfect.
Whoever said something earlier about the last 15 minutes was spot on.

[simontreal]

Billy reached his goal : He got us to listen the album in full !

Thank you for this good album. I have to admit that you forgot how to touch people with a good production. Simple and complex in the same time. Maybe I am over-emotional but as a batch of song, I think this is the best collection since 2000.

[awsmsc]

Yea, if anyone wants to pm me about a rip that'd be cool, but I guess there'll probably be a torrent in 2 days anyway.

[dkbatman06]

I need new pants. And a rip. The Celestials really gets to me, I love it so much. The entire album sounds great.

[dudehitscar]

Wildflower was ok.. A bit too repetitive but some interesting moments.

[oryann]

MLIW impressed the hell out of me.. didn't expect that one either..

[Deleted User Account]

Guitars sound great. It's hard to say how it's going to hold up or improve- Corgan's best work is almost insidious.

[g-fresh33]

I can't wait to get home and listen..... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :jackyl:/>

[Ruby Ring]

Also, Quasar is pure fucking rock. Can't imagine how a Smashing Pumpkins fan doesn't dig that one. It will sound even better on real speakers.

[thruEYESruby]

Who's on their 5th listen? I sure as hell am!!!

Agreed. Looking forward to the physical release.

I don't get the hate for it either, it's the PERFECT opener. Love it. Right now Pinwheels is my overall favorite song.

[smashp1979]

I have listened 2 times all the way through. I had high expectations and it has lived up in my opinion. I am very happy that the board is reacting in this way. Just a great album.

[apples&oranges]

I love Pale Horse!

[Coker]

This MLIW is awesome.

[dudehitscar]

Overall I'm very proud of the band and relieved that the pumpkins have a STUDIO album that lives up to the great legacy. The vocals were not an issue 90% of the time and most of the time they were pretty good. Musically this is the most accomplished thing billy has done since adore. Without question there are just stunning moments all over this record. I am one happy guy.

[Inertia]

Does the album still articulate the theme of isolation? How are Billy's lyrics?

this sums it up, still i must say, i really wish i could have gotten lonely instead of quasar.

Me too! It's honestly getting better with every listen! I'm so happy with this, it's gonna be a great summer :)/>

[oryann]

Holy SHIT once again. Nicole's backing melodies in Pinwheels... oh my god..

[standing]

I don't have a computer, and there is no itunes for my kindle fire. can someone pm me please?

[Whicker]

My stream just stopped! and dies after a few seconds when i refresh :(/> nooo i wanted to put in one more listen before giving my review ..







nvm its back now

[gyang333]

i keep stopping after one diamond and going back to the Celestials. IMHFO (in my honest fucking opinion) The Celestials -> Violet Rays -> MLIW -> One Diamond, One Heart is a god-damned awesome sequence.

[MaxR]

I will be taking a 6 hour drive from Chicago to Minneapolis Wednesday, someone want to PM me a rip so I can listen 6 times there and 6 times back. I'm missing the show Thursday :(/> ... The least I can do is listen to the album 6 times in a row twice.

No, no wait until you have the CD or Vinyl in your hands then smile for the camera.

[pastup]

"Wildflower" is my least favorite. It will probably grow on me though. Something fitting about it being at the end.

[dudehitscar]

My god. There is not one thing I would change about Panopticon. It's perfect.

this is the best he'll get. i don't smile good. I remember it took three day's worth of photo shoots to get a picture for a publication, that ended up getting scrapped. i still don't know how those pictures turned out...

Not huge on the synth intro for Pinwheels...but then that guitar. That guitar.

[samuelmills]

Mike Byrne is a BADASS on this album. Jimmy who? just kidding...kind of

and how about those Corgan vocals on the chorus of Violet Rays!
