I miss the Pumpkins too. This new incarnation just isn't the same - I mean, way back when, at the end of the Pisces Iscariot liner notes Billy stuck "2007". Sometimes I wonder if this whole rebirth of the Pumpkins was planned out from years back, what with all the 7s involved, and the fact that the breakup was kind of planned (though inevitable)... And besides - Billy and Jimmy + some other people was known as Zwan. Billy and Jimmy and James and Darcy = the Pumpkins. It is the epitome of arrogance for Billy to just assume that the Pumpkins will be anywhere near as powerful with half of its members gone and half-heartedly replaced by random people. So here's a toast to (hopefully) a real reunion, someday, with an album that actually has some soul to it. The band can't function without some tension in opposition to Billy's ego to balance the whole thing out (sorry Billy, I still love you against my better judgement, but you know it's true).
