I think this board has started more threads on SP then the number of albums sold...

has anyone noticed that every single review of zeitgeist has been - this isn't really the pumpkins, the nineties are over, billy this and billy that . . . oh and yeah, there are some songs on here that we ran out of article space (after proving we know how to speak articulate) to review about.  the new album is excellent; maybe not a masterpiece, but hey, reviewers loved the new anvil listerine album.

I think the new record is pretty mediocre. Right up there with MACHINA...

[bearman🐻]

Wow...and I thought Machine sucked bowling balls.

I'm a Pumpkins fan and even I find this ridiculous. Put it all in the one big Pumpkins thread. Geez people.

 144,800 copies sold.  30,000 behind the #1.  If only there had been a special Wal-Mart edition with an unreleased bonus track, a special Hot Topic edition with an unreleased bonus track and a special Amazon edition with an unreleased bonus track they may have been able to top T.I.
 
 Heck, Interpol sold 73,200 to come in at #4.
 
 You know what puts things into perspective?  The following:
 
 "in fact, Zeitgeist is the Pumpkins' worst performer, sales-wise, since 1993's Siamese Dream, which opened at #10 with 71,900 copies sold."
 
 Yes, that's right.  "Machina/The Machines of God" sold more than "Zeitgeist" did in it's first week of release.

so i think the real question here is, just how good is T.I.'s "T.I. vs. T.I.P."?

Damn good . . . . Think Jay-Z of The South with a thick ass Southern drawl.  Not quite as cerebral as Jay (who really is?) but witty rhymes, complex flows, & trunk-smashing beats.
 
 And it's far from T.I.'s best album.  I suggest you hop on that . . .

Just one spot ahead of Hannah Montana - Impressive list to be on I must say.   :roll:

buffalo tom's "three easy pieces" checks in at #40 on the billboard "heatseeker" chart.  quite a name for a chart.
