What if the complaint is listened to, and the problem gets fixed? Then it will only be strapped to that time period.

Then he'll be known for making the problem noticable and helped getting it fixed. But even still there's nothing too risky about a protest song if its Billy, he knows how tosay things without saying them. However a protest song would kind of ruin it for me, cause i'm not a political kind of guy.

I'm not going to worry about anything, come to think of it... The Pumpkins haven't screwed up yet, so I don't think anything is going to go wrong.

I think there is no possibility of it being rubbish, less chance of it being ok, a good chance of it being good, and a great chance of it being great.

I don't see the Pumpkins releasing one of their big sounding bad-ass songs as the first single. I'd guess they'll release Orchid or Never Lost or something. Although they did release Bullet With Butterfly Wings first off MCIS. Maybe I'm just talking crap...

It realy comes down to what billy's intentions are with the new record

It's strange that no-one seemed to really like the song titles when it was still a rumour whether all these titles would be on the album, while everyone is like "ok, that's cool" now... anyway, I still don't really like the tiltes, but that'll probably change when I hear the songs, I hope.
And I don't see the pumpkins releasing a song called "Never Lost" or "United States" or something as a single. But maybe that's just me.

I also was wondering, it would be quite un-pumpkins, but could "that's the way" be a Led Zep-cover? I was listening to that song the other day and I was thinking that billy's voice would really fit it.

Could be, i was thinking that but i doubt they would put a cover on the actual album.

yeah ur probably right. especially since that's the way is tipped by filter magazine to be the most likely first single. they would never release a cover as a (first) single on a real album.

Billy was talked into that move by a record exec...he wanted to release Jell Belly first.

Jelly Belly should have been a single, damn I love that song.

Yeah, not exactly a pop song though. I gues BWBW isnt as much either but it has a few great one liners.

the tracklist looks so snazzy, but i hate whats said about the songs, geek usa isnt that heavy, and grunge is kind of boring, i hope its harder that whats said

must be trying to redeem the jimmy/billy duo, why its only got 12 tracks.
