If they changed their name to smashed avocados it might broaden they're appeal to a younger audience.

I had a couple of listens, it will take a while to process. I agree it does have its own internally consistent thing going on, maybe a bit too much so. Or maybe it's just Billy Corgan. Initial thoughts:

• The drummer is weak
• Billy's voice can be hard work
• Catchy tunes, kinda charming
• Weird blend of ingredients will take getting used to.
• Probably won't be something I return to to often.

I think the drummer is kinda mixed out of it - he's still top dollar live. But I agree better drums are required here. I'd the same kinda reaction - tunes wise it's better than anything that's been out for a while, and the blend is a bit of a direction. Gonna do another listen tonight.

Just tried listening to this. All I can hear IS drums and vocals. And a drummer trying to make his mark on the songs. Really annoying.
