I had and am having a really hard time getting over Jimmy leaving...I am trying to enjoy the Teargarden stuff but it's honestly all over the place...Zeitgeist had me so excited but Jimmy leaving was a huge blow.
This, I'd have to say, I was beyond happy when it was announced that JC and BC were getting back together, and they made IMO a great album with Zeitgeist. Matt Byrne is a good drummer but like someone said I do agree Teargarden has been a little all over the place, but I'm sure we'll have more consistency when Oceania comes out.

So, is the Teargarden thing over or is the Oceana just a part of it?
Yeah
Oceana is part of
Teargarden it's going to be an album within an album(Think Inception Only Music
) judging from what Billy said, so these are part of those 44 songs on
Teargarden. Billy said that albums were a "Dead Medium" that's why they're doing
Teargarden the way they are, but honestly I think that he probably realized . . ."Oh Shit one song a month for 44 months !!!!" and that goal wasn't really reached. For the first couple of months we had a song out but then they started to get a little more sporadic.
Now what I think is that the whole
Teargarden By Kaleidyscope will be in four major parts. There's the first two EP'S, Then We'll get
Oceana, and BC has said that the third EP is on hold untill after that, so I'm guessing there will be EP's 3 and 4, for part 3 of the four parts, and then we'll get either get another album type thing or EP's 5, 6 and possibly 7
? who knows really, who knows.
tl;dr answer No
Teargarden's not dead, but instead
Oceana is part of it, An album within and album.

Yeah 30 is pretty steep for each release, but I'm hoping that all the extra stuff like the artwork related things will be worth it. And the extra discs should definitely be worth it.
