this album sucks big time. it sounds like an angry zwan project for me. buti na lang halimaw sa drums si jimmy kundi babasagin ko 'tong cd na to. i'm a big fan of the band. i've all their albums. but this one, i've got to say, is their worst *rephrase* billy's worst. mas panget pa sa adore. and i don't think this has anything to do with their line-up 'coz only billy and jimmy are the notable musicians in the band - james' music is more on the pop genre if you'd listen to his compositions sa mcis, mcis singles, pati na din sa pisces. ang alam ko nga he's currently in a band with one of those hanson brothers which only proves my point and si d'arcy naman, tama si sir marcus, kaylangan munang magpakita ng nipple bago mo mapansing kasama pala sa banda. for me their only album which contains some nice bass lines is that of siamese dream, which, by the way, was played by billy himself.
but i have to give props to billy for the consistency in this album. may context kasi, hence 'zeitgeist', and it stayed true to its name. read hegel or kung gusto mo i-wikipedia mo na lang kung gusto mong maintindihan ung sinasabi ko then correlate it to the time of the album's release. pomp and circumstances is the only song that i liked in this album and i liked it for its meaning and not as a song of the smashing pumpkins that i love because it clearly doesn't sound like one at all, as with the rest of the songs in this album. kulong pa din ako sa gish, siamase and pisces eras of the band i guess. mcis was ok for me and the rest are, well, panget, for the lack of a better term. such a shame nga lang na may tattoo ako ng sp hearts sa braso ko and the winged hourglass in my wrist and the band clearly couldn't follow up their first three beautiful albums with great new music.
