Being a die hard Pumpkins fan, I will listen to just about anything Billy releases, but they will just never top what they did in the 90's. That being said, I thought the first Teargarden EP was not too bad...far better than Zeitgeist at least. It just kind of bugs the **** out of me that Jimmy isn't there anymore. I was completely satisfied calling the band Smashing Pumpkins as long as Jimmy was still there...but now that he is gone it really is just a Billy solo project.

He is supposed to be going all over the place with these Teargarden EP's...so the next one will solidify my opinion of how I think they are doing.

I think right now the number one thing I would like to see from them is a properly mastered version of Machina II...the vinyl rips are fine, but I really want to hear what the complete vision of those songs is meant to be.
