They have all the demographics covered! Hipster youth, and thirty something soccer moms as well! Clever marketing by Coachella. It's the coolest place to be, no taste in music required!

Pfffft. That festival could do with some Ramleh and Skullflower.

I'll bet you can buy a kale and cucumber smoothie there.

Well...for what it's worth, I really like both of the new tracks: The Doomed and Disillusioned.

Still not sure about Hourglass, but a studio version of Feathers on the new album would be great too.

And, although By and Down was released on Three Sixty, I wonder if it'll make a reappearance.

Soon enough...

So, what about a possible release date? “Well, the second quarter (April – June) is when we’ve always been on track to put out this album,” Howerdel explained.

My guess it is the album title and release date announcement.

I'm guessing it's more tour dates for April and May...a couple of of which have already started to trickle in.

16 May - Columbia, MO - Mizzou Arena
26 May - Dallas, TX - Starplex Pavilion

Im thinking it will be released in April. Would set them up perfect for the tour that you assume is coming. With a few festivals, and a few random show dates.

I agree - if they're going to announce a whole bunch of tour dates, my expectation is that it would be following an album release. We'll see I guess

This new APC stuff has me confused. There are pieces there of the APC I love, but then there are these Depeche Mode moments that I don't enjoy at all. Curious to hear the entire album. Feel like it will take some time to grow on me. Plus I can't lie it is hard to get super excited for APC right now when I know there is new Tool music ready for lyrics.

Post by **hellboy** » Wed Jan 31, 2018 5:59 pm

I certainly don't dislike what I've heard so far, but none if it is great enough to get all that excited about. I'm certainly keen for the album, but have somewhat low expectations at the moment.

I agree with all of this. The new APC songs are pretty bad, and Maynard's contribution is probably the worst part of it. As much as I am concerned about Maynard's output quality moving forward, I have complete respect for his commitment to his endeavors and projects.

I still believe that there were maybe 2 or 3 songs that weren't done that are now ready for lyrics. Most of the music was already finished. It's not like they just dropped 90 minutes of music on his lap and said "Here you go."

Sounds like the (almost) original lineup of Smashing Pumpkins is back together, and recording. I wonder what this means for Iha's involvement in APC:

Was Iha ever with them in the studio? I could’ve sworn he’s only been part of the live band.

Good question - I'm not sure. My expectation was that he'd be on the new album.

But if he's touring with the Pumpkins, that'll impact his APC commitments as well

New album is called Eat The Elephant and it will be released April 20th.

Post by **Kittaan** » Mon Feb 05, 2018 10:25 am

Fuck, Emotive 2 is sounding more and more like an accurate prediction.

Still interested in hearing the finished work.

Interestingly enough, the vinyl presale includes presale access to a concert in Birmingham, AL that does not appear to be announced. (close enough to Louisiana to make it reasonable for me)

I wonder if they may squeeze in a few more dates.

From the Rolling Stone article: "The group has released two songs from the album so far, the relaxed "Disillusioned" (seemingly about a society that's gotten lost in its own self-interest) and "The Doomed" (a more upbeat song with lyrics about survival of the fittest)."

I guess that's one way to interpret it.

*edit: Also, that entire article is really worth a read.

Lmao, that cover is awful. Looks like a still from a shitty FMV horror game.
