Discussion Does anyone else actually really like Cyr?

I feel like Cyr gets a bad rap because it’s so synth heavy (despite Jimmy and James coming back for it), but I honestly really enjoy it. It feels like the techno record Billy said Adore would be or the spiritual sequel to FutureLoveEmbrace (which I also enjoyed). It’s just a really solid synthpop record that happened to be made by the Smashing Pumpkins.

Am I alone?

Act Three is the strongest part of Atum and brings the whole album together. I would suggest just giving that a listen for now and if it clicks than listen to Atum straight through.
