...He does something that keeps me at the very least interested..

Today he played A record day special in LA, played a couple of his new songs..and brought out some of the hits. He sounded GREAT with those old hits..

Then he brought out 2 songs that he hasn't played in a LONG time:

Stumbeline (last played in 98):

And a old demo that he has never played live, Soot and Stars:

It would be better if he brought back Iha and D Arcy and Chamberlain.

Now if he could just channel that into the newer stuff...

agreed. Although I'll always be a fan of Corgan's.

Another solo album which came out in 2017.

The last album released by the new Pumpkins (Oceania) wasn't great I'll give you that, but the LPs before that; Teargarden by Kaleidoscope was pretty amazing.

They actually released an album after Oceania, Monuments to an Elegy.

I liked Oceania quite a bit. Monuments To An Elegy was not good except for 2-3 songs.

I keep forgetting about Monuments, I should give it a listen but really? Only two to three songs? I guess Billy is digging his heels deep into his experimentation phase.
