i hope so. it was funny in the formerly-spooned one's thread, but here it hit me as weak. get to work on that.

If it means anything, Adore was my first Pumpkins album, so naturally I have a bias towards enjoying that era of the band very much. I think every single SP album is brilliant in its own unique way, but I seem to enjoy their work with Flood the most.

Also, it's going to be hard for me to find a roommate because I listen to Machina on a regular basis.

Exactly.

Speaking of the talent, imagine how good Zwan would've been had Billy Corgan not been involved at all...David Pajo!!!!!!!! Matt Sweeney!!!!!! How could two such legends be trapped in a band whose head honcho didn't let them contribute even in the slightest?

I don't have his solo album, but the single from it bored me upon its release. But I recently heard a couple songs from it and thought they were like Sean Lennon, only 28352x better. I'm mainly thinking of his many tracks that end up primarily as b-sides. You can actually make a really good Pumpkins compilation from them, though Iha sounds better when he's actually collaborating with Corgan. Corgan needs to actually use the strengths of the talented people he works with.
