Good for Jimmy getting the hell out.
I really don't think he's capable of reaching such heights again, he said all he needed to say a long time ago, which is why I (reluctantly) went into this album with very low expectations.

I'll probably only end up listening to this album a few times and then confine it to the same fate as Zeitgeist. We pretty much have all the Pumpkins music we could ever need with their classic albums and the insane amount of non-album material, I don't really see the need for any more.
