I have only listened to it once , jury is out if I’ll like it better than Skinty Fia. I think I still lean to the sound of their debut , along with the debuts of Shame and the Murder Capital.

Another great video / reaction. For me "Skinty Fia" was the best album of 2022. Haven't listened to new one yet. Btw, great you have mentioned The Murder Capital. Greetings from Portugal

I’m pleasantly surprised by this album considering they’ve been gone for so long. Torches is truly a classic album in my eyes

Decent review!! I like the album, they’ll struggle to ever come close to Torches for me but it’s good! Feed me & Glitchzig are my faves 🔥

Brother im 30 years deep with this band. You summed it up PERFECTLY.

7:01 do you know The clash and their song Guns of Brixton? Mark said one of the inspiration for the album was The clash (that I loveeee) and them hearing The holy Shangri-la I can't stop to hear that the bass line it's similar, I think they got the inspiration from this song! One of my favourites of The clash and The holy Shangri-la it's my favourite of this album for now ❤️ I love this inspiration and I wanted to know if anyone hears it too or am I crazy? Haha

Not hearing what you’re hearing. Massive fan here but I don’t think it’s that great.

I happened to hear “Tongue Tied” on AltNation and it reminded me that this band exists and I have never really checked out their discography. Pleasantly surprised to find this album which is just so amazing and everything I love in music at this moment in my life. I can’t get “Cheese” out of my head.

Loved this review. I have already heard the album, love it; and the algorithm must have known I would enjoy hearing other music lovers talk about it, because here you are lol. You did a great breakdown I fully agree and also felt the album message and tone came at a time I needed it.

Sean contributed to at least three or four songs to the album playing guitar and synthesizer.

Just had a listen after your review . Defo a enjoyable album

Incredible album and great review

Thanks for the review

Jagermeister advertisement is how I first met Post Malone. Austin can mix up his concerts with early and now, fans will go for both. I am a 78yo fan. A fan is a fan. This album moves through all country genres, Post speaks to ALL Country.

The last song reminds me of old Soundgarden. Definitely his best record to date, but I’m hoping for another Raconteur album/tour.

I do miss the fat, dreamy shoegaze (it's hidden in there in spots), but other than that, this album is a monster

He performed at rolling loud a few months ago, he was bringing out rappers and all of that. He still performs those songs. I think he gets lost picking a setlist because he has so many hits.

Great review 👍

Im discovering new things on this album all the time, its really growing on me. It began as an awesome album, its only getting better. Every day i have new favourite song... Also going back to his earlier solo albums, re-discovering entering heaven alive and fear of the dawn again. Man i love Jack White, Boarding house reach is his only miss for me. Even though that still has some killer songs on it.

It topped Eminem and Taylor Swift in one top five chart. Killing the top 20 album charts across the globe, but the songs aren't getting those numbers. Nobody's trying to replace anyone, and way too many people don't get that. They wind up fans of themselves.

Billy's vocals are mixed bad. He's doing that awful vocal mix on all recent albums. But when you hear him live, his vocals sound incredible.

This album has been on repeat for me since it came out. His best solo album in my eyes

I love their more uplifting stuff ala Oceania. Their Goth stuff not so much.

❤❤❤

Washed up nobody judging corgan you couldn't wash his pumpkins loooser

I never heard of her to be honest . Her voice does not suit the material her voice is weak and not strong enough it a a 3 out of 10 for me . I like your channel but i disagree on your opinion on this review it a poor album.

I certainly like it more than the last decade of albums. My complaint is just the mixing and production. I've heard songs from Cyr, Shiny, and Monuments live and they absolutely ripped. None of those passionless (imo) super dry consonant-swallowing vocals. He sang the way he did on the early albums, with excitement and edge. The music had way more energy, etc. I'm certain that AMM is going to go absolutely bonkers live. I just wish he would go back to playing these songs as a band in the studio and just letting the tape run, I believe that was a lot of the magic. Yes, I know he called himself Svengali and would re-record everything, but my man needs to get away from using pro-tools as an instrument, and get a producer or *someone* that will tell him "no" in the studio. He's so damned talented and I wish it was more apparent on the albums.

Always been a massive fan of them, i just loved the uplifting feeling of the previous albums with the style alongisde Lukes voice, and feel like this one misses it a bit. Guess I was just after a certain style and need to give it more listens!

I feel that the band allowed the songs to develop where the songs wanted to go leaving the impression of a flow state composition within each track. Each new element and texture lands at precisely the correct instant.

*Pumpkins are the only 90s band* that is still playing huge gigs and making new records.

I have been fan since Gish but for me Adore is the last true Smahing Pumpkins record. After that the quality went down and it seems that Billy lost interest in composing great rock songs. This new album is back to early days but sadly it lack a bit of those nuances that made Gish, Siamese Dream and MCIS so great. But as it is Aghori is still quite good. One thing i noticed right away was production and vocals were not at the top like in Atum. Later had also some moments that i thought "Old SP is Back!" but overall the quality wasnt that great. But i enjoy listening Atum and even more this new album so all is good. I kind wished that SP would have developed the Adore style even more in later albums since i thought it had a lot of potential. Many of my non-SP liking friends liked songs from Adore. What if... Billy had gone in that direction with composing and maybe new electronic music partners?

The music is ok, the lyrics make no sense at all....and thats just the ones you can make out.

Love this album. If you have a killer stereo crank it all the way up to get the full feel of what the pumpkins done here. Drums and the bass lines sound so damn good on this one

People complaining about Billy Corgans singing chops? Its definitely 1996 again. I really didnt want to like this album but its growing on me. The melodies are memorable although there is definitely a lack of range in the singing. Drums are the definition of Solid, Chamberlain has stripped away alot for this but every now and again he reminds you that a God is sitting there.

Great review!! I was pretty disappointed with the 2nd half of this album although I do appreciate them trying something different

Welcome back brother

Albums in order: 1: MCIS 2: SD 3: PI 4: TAFH 5: GISH 6: MACHINA 7: AMM 8: ADORE I don't consider any other albums to be legit SP. So won't list them.

I skimmed through it on first listen and was very underwhelmed. Last night, I listened to it twice in a row. I totally changed my mind. It's fantastic. For the first time in decades Billy has layered guitars with multiple melodies. Actual effort into the background of the songs. He hasn't done that since Machina

thank you

Maybe a return to great form. I was a but disappointed by the kast few albums, but I do appreciate them still being out there 😊

I really thought this was going to an optimistic return to form but the vocals and lyrics are so thin and lacklustre plus the production is just not complementary to the music and it fades into nothingness in the end....Could of been another 5 song EP. Billy needs a producer especially around jimmy's drums and the guitar tones, Its not warm at all and even on a good system it feels poorly executed in many ways. I hate to say it but ATUM could of been a single album and is better than this. We don't need GUITAR HEAVY album but better constructed melodies and song writing.

I don’t know man.. I remember when Siamese and Melon Collie came out and what these albums managed to do to me - to this day actually. It’s great that they went back to the roots here, and there are some awesome riffs throughout the album. But it feels to me like Corgan is no longer capable of writing a proper hook. The whole album feels kind of under the surface for me. Nothing here is go back to. Hopefully they continue in this direction though…

It’s another beard logo! Hello Identity!

It takes me a little time to get into a new SP record but i know that i will. Billy knows what makes a good song, and he can get creative without going completely off the rails. What i am saying is that musically its always there for me. What i think people are liking about this album is the sonic toolkit they have used which is more guitar based and i think that is fair. They know what they are doing with these sounds and instruments and how to make it sound quality and authentic. The best stuff from the post-machina era has for me always been the guitar based songs. The electronic toolkit for me has felt limited in range, so the first song i feel its cool and interesting, then the next is kind of similar and the next i feel....oh, the whole album sounds like this. Somehow with electronica its really important to use those different sounds to get variety in the production. There is also something about the harmony he uses on the vocals in the recent past which feels the same on a lot of songs.

Fuc smashing pumpkins and fuc billy corgin ... 😂😂🎉

AMM is exactly what every SP album is before it.. a building block. SP’s sound is not complete, but still recognizable throughout their catalog. ATUM built to this, the same way SAOSB & CYR built to ATUM. Love the fact that Billy is restless in his continuity.. it shows that shit evolves, for better or worse. I personally loved ATUM, and this AMM is a fantastic and almost predictable follow up.

Billy’s voice has gotten bad

Watered down cyber rock. Lyrics and drums are non existent and I’m shocked.
