Chapter 138: Zeitgeist Arrives- The Return of the Pumpkins
Live on Letterman! Check them out this Friday as well playing another track off the new record.
**excerpted from an e-mail to Patrick Z**
I bought Zeitgeist and here are my initial reactions. I really dig all the live stuff I've heard, but Billy is a bit loud in the mix of a couple of songs. Overall, I seem to agree that it's kind of a delayed missing link between Mellon Collie and Adore with a little of the later stuff peppered in. After listening to it 3 or 4 times, I find myself really liking it though. Some of the lyrics are a bit obtuse at times and I feel clog up some good rocking, but when the dam opens, it blows the lid off the place. I'm going to listen to it at work all day today and then I'll give you a rundown on what I think of individual tracks. As of right now, I find myself drawn more so towards the stuff not produced by the BC*lightingbolt*JC collaborative. Maybe it's just good to take yourself out of that mix, maybe not. We shall see.
Hey Kids, Rock and Roll. Rock On.
P.S. The video for Tarantula (see above) rocks my socks.
