Thought i'd make a thread where we can post all the info thats coming out in the wake of its release. So today we found out that its zeitgeist has been finished, and listened to. Ben Lee said its the heaviest and most intense thing the pumpkins ahve done... this appeared on netphoria aswell: ------ this was sent to me anonymously via spfc. the source is supposedly bc's private myspace page, but as usual, the return address was not valid. i tried to translate as best i could, and made a list below the pic. what does everyone else think??? obviously some of these are going to end up being temporary names...but i think its safe to say the theories about political content as well as heavier songs, are true.  thats the way orchid shades of doom c'mon lets go doomsday clock F# stomp (or FA stomp) god & country united states never lost death from above pomp + circumstances stellar gossamer ma belle from America with love tarantula scars (?) bring the light ----- I personally dont think this is true. It seems tooooo political for the pumpkins. |

The writing definitely looks like Billy's, especially:
- The G on Gossamer
- The S's
- C'mon looks exactly the same as the original cover of mashed potatoes

Seems about right, few weeks before the show. The exciting thing is with a single not only comes one song, but b-sides!  how long till the album is leaked you reckon?  |

i dont know why i do, when alot of people hate her, but i do enjoy the missy higgins, and the best thing about her is each single has 3 b-sides... which not many bands do any more. Pumpkins got a bit lazy towards the end of the career with fewer b-sides, so many they can start off with a bang |

im sure there will be plenty of b sides, adore had a decent amount of bsides, machina only had a few cause i reckon they were saving it for machina 2.

Less re-mixes.

Billy really seems to be fixated on the word 'doom'... maybe it's his way of telling Trent Reznor that he loved his work on the Doom soundtrack... *guffaw nyuk nyuk*
The song titles remind me of the upcoming Year Zero album --- same sorta theme by the sound of the track names... It's all very exciting!

i know what you mean scott and i have the same hopes. Even though Corgan used to write dark lyrics, there was the undertone of love (either good or bad). Its what separated him from other artists. Maybe he doesn't want to write about June anymore. glad you like the smilies - thought the board needed to be brightened up a bit |

they might be just references to song titles, like not the full title. does that makes sense?
like how we refer to 'thru the eyes of ruby' as 'ruby'.
but even with that reasoning, the titles do seem to be to literal.

maybe he's being sarcastically dark and angry in response to the fans negative reaction of zwan and to some degree TFE.

Nah, it'll be more artistic/stylistic than in any spite statement.
