I still remember when the Pumpkins were about to release Machina back in 2000, the media compared it to Gish, the whole back-to-roots thingie. When it was finally released, they tanked it for not living up to hype. Bastards.

Personally, I don’t think the Pumpkins need another Gish or even Siamese Dreams. Both the albums are irreplaceable. And frankly, the Pumpkins can never go back to their glory days of selling millions of albums and topping the charts, not when today’s charts are covered with artists that feature other artists (just take a look at Billboard’s chart, 6 out of 10 of them have artists featuring artists, it’s a trend).

All I hope for is a good rocking album.
