Corgan indicated that, with Zeitgeist, he wanted to make a mainstream rock record, comment on the political climate of the United States, and explore the nature of the band and his friendship with Chamberlin. The album was met with mixed reviews and a strong debut, but it quickly slid down the charts. It was certified Gold in the United States on February 1, 2008. In 2008, citing the album's poor commercial performance, Corgan stated that Zeitgeist will be the last studio album the band releases, and that the band's "primary function now is to be a singles band.
Patrick Wolf's new great ful lp "The Bachelor" has been amazing. I've been listening to this album a lot recently. First single "Vulture" is a good reason to like new Patrick Wolf Stuff. There are also other great new tracks like Hard times, Oblivion, Damaris. Patrick's ambitious in singer/songwriter scene reminds me alternative music gods like Gary Numan, David Sylvian and David Bowie. He's also totally surprising at the video of Vulture which reminds me magicful 80s. Cover looks horrible, however you should check out this album.

Press on 2008's Lust Lust Lust:
"[Lust Lust Lust] crackles like a transmission from some spectral AM radio station - one playing tunes from the supergroup that, in an alternate universe, the Ronettes, My Bloody Valentine, and the Velvet Underground formed on a lost weekend." -- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Noisier than old-school Sonic Youth and every bit as menacing as the Velvet Underground circa '68." -- ALTERNATIVE PRESS
"A masterpiece from start to finish." - SOMA
One of the defining moments of this year's SXSW was the pair of surprise collaborations between Atlanta garage rock rabble-rousers The Black Lips and Wu Tang impresario GZA. This first took place off the beaten path at The Compound for Dickies Battle of the Bands, inspiring the unlikely pair to enter into a whole new chamber together. Soon thereafter, rumblings shot down 6th Street that the unlikely collabo might occur again at The Vice Records Showcase later that night at Emo's. Sure enough, immediately after the band took the stage, GZA emerged to a roomful of cheers and slack jaws. The following week, the web was atwitter with reports from both events and a grainy MTV video documented a piece of the experience.
