I heard the new Smashing Pumpkins track about a thousand times over the week end and all I have to say is 'what's up with that?' ???
I've never been a big fan of the band, but the track 'Tarantula' is just horrendous. It sounds like they put a bunch of musicians in a studio that absolutely hated each other, never talked and tried real hard to play over one another. I don't think I've heard a major label release that bad since Metallica released St. Anger. The production on the track is really bad too, but I can't see it having made a difference either way. I haven't heard the rest of the album, but after the first track, I don't think I want to.
Ozzy's track was also getting a tonne of airplay over the week-end, and you would expect that someone who had as many years as Ozzy has in would be able to get decent production. The song is pretty weak on its own, but the production is just nasty. It actually sounds worse loud.
These are two pretty major disapointing showings for the genre. All we need now is a bad AC/DC album and the whole thing could go belly up....
