A lot of the songs sound the same. It's not a bad album by any means, just not old-school Punkins'.
The new drummer isn't bad. It's hard to compare the 2 when the songs are so different. Dude's got chops, though. Not bad on the kit.
Billy's voice is definitely weaker, and the songwriting has gotten worse, IMO. "The Celestials" is the only song that really strikes me as a Pumpkin's quality song. There are some songs on the new album that are just plain bad. The new drummer is definitely very good (and very young). He plays fast like Jimmy, but does not play with the same kind of jazziness that Jimmy did.Quote:

+1. Also not a fan of the punk rock elements in "The Chimera". It is like they ripped off the worst parts of Coheed and Cambria. If they are too old to be edgy, they are far too old for punk rock. "Wildflower" is probably the worst song on the album.Quote:

In the end, I think Pumpkin's are no longer relevant and that makes me sad because they are one of my favorite bands.
Is the sax player Stan “The Sound” Getz? I'm having a hard time placing him.Quote:

Hum - Pinch & Roll
One of the hidden and virtually lost jewels of 90s music. The only semi-professional review I have seen of the album gave it a 2 out of 5 stars. http://www.allmusic.com/album/electra-2000-mw0000106123 The things that the reviewer hate about the album are the things that make this album so awesome (okay, honestly I don't think it is better than the following two albums, but the rawness of their indie label debut album works very well with the rest of their unfortunately-short catalogue). Curious what any drummer thinks about the review. Read and listen and give me your perspective.
