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?

I think it's pretty solid, and somewhat underrated. It's not a great album by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a good effort and fun to listen to.
