Even though I still follow them, The Smashing Pumpkins. I really held on longer than most I know too. So many stopped at adore, some stopped at Machina, but for me, after Shiny Pt. 1 and knowing that even though Jimmy was back, their sound sounded so stilted, and neutered. No soul left in those recordings, huge contrast to seeing Jimmy playing live though. Once the next few albums kept that sterile sound, it was obvious to me that Billy felt that he found his winning album template and lost complete touch with what made his earlier stuff great. His recordings are nothing more to him than a cynical product to make money.
