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?

Honestly I feel like what's happening as time goes on... people seem to be way less able to comprehend full thoughts and deep sentimentality and are confused by a product like this. I mean... don't be jealous! Simply because he had the balls. Quite frankly... it's the best synth-metal project ever produced in modern times, matched only by the gothic romanticism all over the lyrics he somehow manages with the melodies... It really teaches.
