I feel as though you've never listened to a Thom Yorke solo album.

"The King Of Limbs felt half-finished, as though the group could see where it wanted to go, but wasn’t quite certain how to get there."
"It's complete ridiculousness for those of us with half a brain."
What a fuckload of fucking bullfuck. I've been saying all along they they were going to end it in a cliffhanger, but now I somehow can't believe they actually did it.
Hiyo!
Not even a skidmark.
I could not possibly give less of a shit about Abraham and Sasha getting together.
Twilight Princess is my all-time favorite Zelda game, and I make no apologies.

Tremonti is an absolute fucking monster of a guitar player, although you don't really get any of that on the first Creed album. Or the second Creed album. Or Creed in general.
To me, so much of Antichrist Superstar sounds like Marilyn Manson singing over a bunch of NIN B-sides. The Reznor production is pretty front-and-center.

I don't mind GatGC, but "The Crying Tree of Mercury" is a fetid pile of unlistenable dreck. It's my least favorite Pumpkins song by a significant margin, and the only one that I truly can't stand listening to (with the possible exception of "Run2Me").
I would agree with that. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a single album that opens more effectively than SD.
Both Use Your Illusions are absolutely packed with filler. They could have easily made a single album without losing any of the impact.
Blank Page is probably one of my five or so least favorite Pumpkins songs ever. It's so utterly monotone and boring, and its placement at the end of the album is infuriating to me. I'm a big believer in ending albums well, and Adore ends with a snore.
Something I don't really see people talking about all that much is how Billy's vocal style has changed over the years. As much as it was derided at the time, the ultra-nasally vocals that he used all over Mellon Collie is pretty much THE quintessential Pumpkins sound to my ears. His singing is just totally different…
Here Is No Why is one of my favorite '90s rock songs, period. It's absolutely masterful from beginning to end.
My wife works with someone who pronounces it "MEH may."
