kidamnesiac Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 It's kind of like Zwan-meets-90s-Pumpkins in a good way. Excited to hear more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 it's more oceania than i was expecting. not a bad thing. though my general opinion on that record is that it was a great record, but it hasn't really stuck with me a couple years later, now.

highfives Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I was also surprised when the track first started. Between the electronic drums and how loud the intro vocals were, I really didn't know what to think. But as soon as the song came in, I was instantly happy. I guess the way Corgan's vocals are now is just how he sings. Gone are the days of those strained turned slight scream vocals where he was trying to hit the note but couldn't quite make it. Now he's figured out some way to kind of make it to the note, but it's less emotional and, in turn, less pleasing. Still, I think the song is great. The falsetto vocals are an amazing touch and the backing vocals are some of the best that he's done in a long time. The wall of guitars is back, even if it's different than the Siamese Dream wall. Tommy Lee holds pretty strong with the exception of some weird snare roll that's buried in the mix. The piano line that keeps popping up is great as well. I have an even better hope for this record than I did for Oceania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youspinmeround Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 He is releasing 2 albums so the length do not surprise me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azvd Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sounds like the natural sequel do Oceania. Unfortunately, he's unable to restore his vocals up to his greatest days, His voice's been sounding this way since Zwan. For recording's sake I'd choose a less proeminent vocal, somehow buried in the mix. Musically, I think it'll do good with fans who enjoyed Oceania. No big rush to actually own the album but will gladly give it a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eliminator Jr. Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 While everything up to Machina is held in highest regard (SP's original line-up might actually be my favorite band of all time), Billy's post Machina output minus Zwan, which is pure awesomeness, just didn't do anything for me. Seeing a disturbingly awful show last year didn't help either. That being said, I was surprised to enjoy the new song as much as I did. But still I don't see any hope for me ever enjoying a new record of his nearly as much as the first five albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Does it sound, to anyone else, like Being Beige isn't mixed or mastered properly at all? It sounds like shit on most of the speakers/headphones i've listened to it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 It's definitely pretty squashed dynamically, unfortunately, but I wouldn't say it sounds too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 the new record will have a limited edition on lime green vinyl available through Madame Zuzu's on monday. 1000 being pressed. Autographed + tea packages and all that. Hopefully you can buy the green vinyl on it's own but we'll find out monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobyblue Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 That's a shame about the dynamics because the remaster of Siamese Dream recently retained the original dynamics and the 24/96 and vinyl both sound excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawgPound1946 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 how much tea will we have to buy? I bought both the autographed CD Box Set and autographed LP of Adore and they were both 50 dollars extra. Basically, it's 50 bucks for an autograph and 100 for a personalized autograph.
