Wasn't that what people were saying about Adore in 98.??
Might take some people a few listens.!!

Oceania feels like a natural, organic progression for the Pumpkins, whereas Zeigeist felt forced.

one thing that sticks out with me is a song like One Diamond, One Heart - it does nothing for me on the album, however I hear a solo acoustic version Billy performed on KROQ and it's stunning! Could not agree more. In one respect it comes down to the delivery. I feel the same way about the old My Love is Winter, sometimes less is more.

Just finished, 6 & 8 were a doozy but I love these audio clip puzzles!

6 was dead easy! 8 is terrifyingly horrible and I still haven't nailed it down. I had a shortlist of possibilities and then crossed ALL of them off!!!

I'm feeling like a terrible Pumpkins fan because I can't get all 10 songs.!!! Is it against the rules to help each other out.?? ;D

I guess it's not against the rules to help each other out, you'll all be in the running for a 'random draw' We'll be posting another clue today.

Had I bought Oceania, next week I promise, I'm sure one of my doozies would have been easier to get. I knew it was from that album because of the bass sound but I barely know the song titles let alone the melodies yet.
I've only streamed Oceania a handful of times, can't wait to really listen to it properly.

Are you sure? Because one of the hints we've given, that you commented on, was about number 8! Anyway. Another clue is up today:

Hey, we aren't sneaky ... we just wanted people to actually earn their entry. Competitions are too easy these days "25 words or less" "retweet this" ... IN MY DAY ... we had to work for it.

I just got oceania (i know I missed the boat a bit On first listen I thought hmm not that great. But since that first listen through I've discovered that its the usual pumpkins trick, you hate it the first time and then can't stop listening to it anyway I love this album, Inkless has such a great riff, theres a hint of zwan in here, and then just classic refreshed pumpkins. Light and dark loud and soft. Awesome
