Album Review
Silversun Pickups hold Smashing Pumpkins as close to their heart as, say, Mudhoney hold the Stooges — perhaps even more, as Silversun Pickups (whose very initials are the same as the Pumpkins) act as though nothing happened between Siamese Dream in 1993 and Swoon in 2009. Try as they may, the bandmembers cannot deny the passage of time, or their geography, for Silversun Pickups are creatures of their time and place, just as their idols were. At their core, the Pumpkins were Midwestern misfits, something that was evident in their very appearance and sound. In contrast, Silversun Pickups shimmer sweetly on the surface, a sound suited for Los Angeles. Silversun Pickups avoid unpleasantness on Swoon, wallowing in washes of sound derived equally from guitars and whispered vocals and glimmering in the sunlight. It's pleasant enough, particularly when the breathy vocals fade away to leave behind cascades of guitars, but still remains an approximation of Smashing Pumpkins at their peak.
Customer Reviews
Awesome from start to finish
This is one of the best overall albums I've heard in a long time. Every single song is distinct and addictive. A good balance is achieved between the instruments and the vocals. The singer has such a unique voice, and songs like The Royal We (my favorite from the album!) show his range. Besides the amazing and unique vocals, the lyrics are also noteworthy. I still haven't quite worked out what each song is about, but they definitely keep me thinking. There's a subtle creepy undertone to this album, which may have something to do with the singer's voice and the music, not necessarily the meanings of the songs (although a few of the lyrics are pretty dark). But that only makes me like it more! I can't come up with anything negative to say about this album.
This band's sound is captivating and I can't wait to hear more from them.
ping!
