Appetite is well-crafted, but ultimately it's just the last trimphant gasp of old-school cock rock as THE reigning rock paradigm. After nirvana/grunge/whatever, even the cock-rockers (Limp Bizkit, Korn, Slipknot etc) adopt 'angst' as their stance. We're still riding the 'angst' wave with the Emo/Screamo/kiddiecore shit.

(of course there are plenty exceptions.)

three years pass...

A weird pairing but there's no other thread about Gish so...
Been listening to it lately and I'm amused it's the only Smashing Pumpkins material that I still find listenable. Must be that Corgan still hadn't perfected his knackered croon. Rhinoceros, Crush, Suffer and Snail still sound great after all this years and are particular apt listening for this summer.
