For a while I was quite disappointed with the quality of the new stuff. I actually don't mind it now. Billy put out a lot of classic material, and now he is just making music the way he wants to make music. In the past he was motivated by personal problems and stress, and now he is more relaxed about it and it shows. I'll keep listening to his Teargarden project just because there are a ton more EPs that are supposed to come out and there actually have been a few hints of his former genius.

I agree with you about referring to them as the Pumpkins these days. When Jimmy was still there I was ok with it, but now that Billy is the last original member left, I find it hard to call them that.
