Where should I buy the Smashing Pumpkin's Zeitgeist album?

Question

Best Buy, Target, and iTunes each give you a different song with the cd if you buy the album from them. What I want to know is: which bonus song is the best? Which version should I get?

(And as much as I love them, the Pumpkins are so corporate whores because of that stunt.)

Answer 1

I bought mine from i-Tunes and I regret it. I can't convert the file to put it on my mp3 player The only reason why I bought it from them is because of the pre-sale tickets and the password that they gave me was invalid. If you ever need to get a hold of i-Tunes, it is near impossible . Buy it from Target.

Answer 2

Are they corporate whores, or are they just having fun?

I think they're just having fun. It's not like it's hard to get free songs these days with this thing called the internet.

Get it from your local music shop instead of one of those huge places. You can't call them a whore if you're choosing to buy the album at some huge impersonal chain store over some small local shop.

Or don't buy it at all if you're going to be like that. Just go to the clubs and continue complaining with your alternative rock loving friends.

Answer 3

Maybe if you dont like the stunt dont buy it. I've liked them overall also, but their early stuff was a good album but the last couple its just been a good song or two with the rest junk anyway.

Answer 4

Like bluecoat says the songs would be obtainable "someplace else". i'm confident the band isn't waiting for everybody to purchase all 4 variations... Im confident they assume the followers/customers to be "ingenious" in amassing all the B-factors.

Answer 5

lets just hope its better than that band zwan billy had years back!!!!!!!!!!!ewwwe just thinking about it gave me chills
