Free Music Notes for American Gothic

Billy always seems to be addressing a girl, God, and his fickle audience all at once; I can't decide if that's an easy or a hard thing to do.Free Music Review: Acoustic Corgan tunes. (3.5)
Hit: 3 Stars
Okay, I'll tell you something: There's no way I'm going to suggest you shell out FIFTEEN bucks for an album with just four songs, no matter how good those songs may be. However, where Corgan flirted a lot with electric guitar and the synthesizer during Zeitgeist, these songs are fairly down to earth sounding and has a side of the artist you wish you could hear more often. Nothing here is as good as "Zeitgeist" (on a limited edition release of the album), but the songs are at least listenable. "Pox" is my favorite of the bunch, with some of Billy's strongest melodies. That's what made the lush side of the group so great, anyway. I also enjoy "The Rose March" and its interesting scats in the beginning. It's not as ambitious or sentimental as one could hope for, but if you want to hear some more Pumpkins it is a nice turn in pace. Just nothing special.Free Music Review: Good new stuff from the Pumpkins

While not my favorite, the songs on this EP are very well written. It is a little "toned down" as compared with some of their more recent work.Free Music Review: Not Here

I won't be buying this even though I consider myself an Avid Pumpkins fan. the New Pumpkins are Awesome but The DVD "If all Goes Wrong" audio is where to start, I burnt them songs (from the DVD) into mp3 format and MAN! These songs from American Gothic ARE awesome and amazing....LIVE. I heard this CD and it totally disappointed me because when compared to the live renditions of these Same songs, this disc is blown out of the water...I highly recommend all these songs but just get some High Quality Live shows........For Instance, the opening song The Rose March, On the DVD 'If all Goes Wrong', It's a showstopper, on this album it's Crap..Why??? Theres plenty of reasons but the biggest problem is probably just how it was mixed....he starts the rose march chanting the most annoying crap when played Live it is a hauntingly serious song......
DONT GET THIS ALBUM, GET ALL THESE SONGS LIVE (Start with the Audio from IF ALL GOES WRONG and buy the DVD too!!)

About 12 or so years ago, I was the world's biggest Pumpkins fan. Sorry to say, but interest in Mr. Corgan's self-indulgences has waned to the point of regret for purchasing practically anything post Adore. This EP does nothing at all to change that; in fact, I'm pretty sure this is the last Smashing Pumpkins recording I'll ever purchase. It sounds completely uninspired at best, and at worst is about as exciting as the Diane Rehm show on a slow day. Sorry Billy, but apparently any inspiration left with James Iha. Thanks for the memories though!
