Panopticon is great. What's that weird guitar effect on Quasar and Panopticon I wonder. You know, where they just sort of amble around?

I've even tried to connect to the irish store where the streaming link is also available, but: it failed.
Honestly I'm about to give up. I don't why I could listen to Usher and not SP? I have changed country, quit and restarted iTunes something like a gazillion time and still nothing. I guess something up above prevents me from hearing it (a national firewall, I don't know...A whole conspiracy theory ;)/>).


I kept closing and opening itunes after changing to the UK. After a few tries it reopened on it's own after I closed it and the stream was up.

I think iŽm gonna wait like for 15 minutes while you guys get the final orgasm out of it, blow a joint and gladly then it will work for me, cause for now is dead :(/>


*switch to UK

*go to Oceania page (you may have to close out and repeat this step)

*Eventually, the "listen to Oceania" will be displayed on the main store page (because you kept visiting it)

this is how it worked for me anyway

THE CHIMERA IS SO SIAMESE DREAM IT'S RIDICULOUS.

This is the first time I've ever heard a newer Pumpkins song and been able to picture a Billy with hair singing it.

Violet Rays is great. So far the only song I'm not impressed with is Quasar, which I thought from the 30 sec clips would be one of the best tracks. So much for expectations.

Just finished listening to Pinwheels and now have tears. Something about that song reminds my of my parents who both passed in 2010. So far this album is kicking major ass!

I don't know why but I literally have tears welling up in my eyes. Im three songs into this album, and its just having such an effect on me. For the first time in a really long time, this feels like the Smashing Pumpkins. The Celestials is a brilliant song. Holy God, this is really, really good stuff.

Not in continental Europe (at least not in Belgium nor France), and not in Beazil.
OK Guys, I give up I'll try again tomorrow morning. It's almost a quarter to 2AM here. I did my best, but now I have to go to sleep.

For anyone keeping track...

*Excellent production

*Billy singing like he actually gives a shit again

*Guitar tones sound like SP again

*Mike and Nicole knocking it out of the park

*Synths kept the fuck in the background, except on ODOH, where it works.


Album is a keeper. :thumbsup:/>

Just finished.

Wow.

MCIS is my favorite SP album. SD is two, Machina I is three. This might be the new two.

Was there a bad song on this album? I wasn't a fan of Wildflower at first but at the end the singing between Billy and Nicole really brought it back.

Awesome lead guitar line in Glissandra! Really cool feel to it!

Seem to be a lot of "Queen" type harmonized lead guitar lines I don't care for in other songs though.

It's such an upbeat album.

And holy shit Pinwheels is beautiful.

I know what you mean. Feels so damn good, i think that The Celestials is great too

I'm up to Pinwheels, this album is awesome so far!

Just finished Pinwheels. I think the production on that song is absolutely genius. I could never of imagined from the live version that the song could be that good.
