@Duga: Hell YES on Machina II. I'm f-ing pumped man, you don't even know. :beer:

Machina II is amazing and I still prefer it over Machina. I'm still itching for a proper release of it or at least a good quality mp3 version.

My opinion on Oceania hasn't really changed much so it's still stuck in average territory for me.

I love Violet Rays. But... that's about it. Pretty average album I'd say, although I've always just set myself up to anticipate that when old artists make new albums, it usually falls short of how they once were. I'm making exception for the new Tool album though... I hoping Maynard gets it right like he always does, save Puscifer.

They are very promising but I haven't gone past snippets of Siamese Dream, Adore, besides from owning Mellon Collie.

I'm still really looking forward to the reissues... I can't wait for Machina II to be released in all its mastered and non-fuzzy glory.
Do people consider that album worthy of a reissue?

Well I sure as hell do. The songs are arguably better than Machina. The fact that all I've had are crappy digital vinyl rips has frustrated me for over 10 years.

Same here. The songs are great and catchier than the songs on Machina 1.

This record is OK, but I think people need to stop getting into records and trying to compare them to an artists previous work(s). The days of the Pumpkins are long gone and we'll never get that great feel back from them. But we still have more than enough great records to choose from in their catalogue.

sounded pretty good on first listen

but the relisten just didn't get me

still voted "good" anyway

think it'll grow on me in a bit
