The thing with the Smashing Pumpkins is, I hate them and think they are massively overrated and Corgan is about the biggest prick in the world, but to each their own. Just because I don't like them at all doesn't mean others can't enjoy their music, so I generally just stay out of these debates since others share my feelings and post them quicker than I do.
My main problem with them now is how they are abusing their fan base. Zeitgeist was released in how many different forms? The Target one, Best Buy one, iTunes one, etc, all with a special bonus b-side. I'm sorry; That's pathetic. But then to release it again with different cover art, a bonus picture booklet, whatever is just further shit on the sundae. They were literally just trying to use their loyal fans to make them more cash from the same shitty album.
And now this 44 song project? Every few songs a new EP will come out in limited physical supply, which means it's going to have a bigger price tag for it's "rarity". Then, once all 44 songs are released, there will be another "limited edition" box set, composed of all the EPs they wanted you to spend a decent chunk of cash on already. That's absurd, even if you're already releasing the songs for free on the internet.
