Bob Dylan Discography Marathon, #18 Entry
On his previous record, Bob Dylan was on the run. But on “Street Legal,” he’s no direction home, meandering around the ghetto streets of Santa Monica.
Dylan isn’t an artist who appreciates sudden shifts in his sound, content, or identity. He never jumps across lanes; he always uses a bridge to cross—bridges built by him. To clarify: “Another Side of Bob Dylan” was the bridge he used to cross from ... read more

The Smashing Pumpkins Discography Marathon, #13 Entry
It took nearly two decades for Billy Corgan to create something as good as the “Machina” records. Maybe Billy fired his “yes” man.
This brief review finally marks the end of my Pumpkins discography marathon. I started the marathon to celebrate attending my first-ever Smashing Pumpkins concert. This marathon wasn’t quite the same as my prior ones, as similar marathons were done in such a way that ... read more

The Smashing Pumpkins Discography Marathon, #12 Entry
Billy Corgan once and for all proves that artistic-freedom is sometimes a double-edged sword. All in all, “Atum” is what happens when you have a lockdown-isolated Corgan in his home studio for months.
Without artistic freedom, Bob Dylan wouldn’t have ever created “Highway 61,” Velvet Underground wouldn’t have ever formed, Prince would have never pursued music, and Zappa probably ... read more

The Smashing Pumpkins Discography Marathon, #11 Entry
The Pumpkins reach a new low here! While it’s great that they’re finding themselves comfortable in a new sound, but it’s horrendously boring departmental-store music.
It’s just one of those records that’s largely non-descriptive. Are all 20 tracks the absolute worst ever made? No. Are they just boring? Definitely. It’s the kind of music that hums in the background at a clothing or ... read more

The Smashing Pumpkins Discography Marathon, #10 Entry
The 10th LP joins forces with Rick Rubin. And oh yes, James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin are back after many years, merging into three-fourths of the legendary lineup. The album though? It certainly does exist.
This record was long expected to be the proper comeback a band of the Pumpkins’ stature deserved. And why not? This incarnation is the closest they can possibly get to the original lineup. The presence of JC and Iha ... read more

The Smashing Pumpkins Discography Marathon, #9 Entry
This record mirrors the same drawbacks as “Zeitgeist,” despite being vastly different in genre. Nothing terrible, just boring.
Tommy Lee from Mötley Crüe plays drums here. Fun fact: Billy Corgan once compared him to John Bonham, for whatever twisted reason that was. Anyway, Corgan was certainly on the right track with “Oceania” — a record that wasn’t mind-blowing but overall ... read more
