A collaboration between the Pumpkins' drummer, Skid Row's singer, The Breeders' guitar player (Kelley, not Kim), and The Frogs' guitar player (Jimmy, not Dennis). Which is a supergroup in the sense that Robin, Kato, Bat-Mite and Captain Marvel would be a super-squad, featuring the most famous member of B-list bands and the second-most famous member of some A-list bands. The result is more or less exactly what you'd expect: disjointed, uninspired, and bloated.
Songs alternate from disappointing Flemion-penned wisps of 90's alt rock to not-unexpectedly mediocre Breeders outtakes, with some kinda fun, weird covers that don't do enough justify the album's existence. The "interview" sections string a fun, spooky thread through the album, but in the long term its likely just 5 extra taps of the skip button.
The main appeal is how disarmingly sloppy it all is, sounding like the folks just showed up in the studio for a few days and halfheartedly banged out some songs, cause, why not? I might even recommend hearing it once? But its a middling recommendation at best 2.5/5
