The Smashing pumpkins Popmaxxing
This is Smashing pumpkins in their pop era, continuing to experiment with electronics and pop writing as found on Mellon Collie. They succeed in some areas, making a wonderfully dark, but ethereal and meditative soundscape, manipulating the production to make the ballads more serene, and the bangers hit harder. My issue with the project is that, unfortunately, a lot of the songs just lack energy and bite. Adding on to that, they take a musical idea, play around with it for a little bit, then drop it without really messing with it, changing it, or bringing it to its logical extreme and conclusion, not to mention some of the electronics do sound outdated. Bring all those factors together, and you end up with a boring track. When they do these factors well, they hit it out of the ball park. Will return for some songs.
