I used to love the pumpkins... they started rocking right out of the gate... Gish being one of their better albums. Siamese Dream was very solid too. MCATIS was pretty cool too, as far as guitar textures and the actual songs... but was the beginning of the end.

I don't know Billy, I'm sure he is an excellent musician and who knows what's true and what's not as far as heresay and other's comments.... and unless you are them, who really cares anyways? But I do know that I have not liked anything from the Pumpkins "recently". You said it, no James, no Darcy, its just not the Pumpkins.

I think what James is doing on his own and his label efforts are much more interesting than anything that the Pumpkins could possibly do at this point in time. What IS Darcy doing? Is she working on anything or with anyone?
