The album isn't formally released until next Monday (June 18), but can be heard in full now. The album is the seventh full-length effort of the band's career.


Had a brief listen, already sounds like a return to form :mrgreen: Pumpkins are back!

I haven't rated any Smashing Pumpkins stuff since Mellon Collie. I'll give this a listen later, but I thought their last album was pretty bad, a lot of the songs lacked the range of the older records.

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

My favourite teenage band. :wub:

As much as I've faithfully bought everything they've done since Mellon Collie, I have to agree with Winckle - and even MC was a rollercoaster of quality. I saw the Pumpkins live late last year and it was brilliant. I really hope this is good. :D

Just bought this off iTunes. Can't wait to have a listen, hopefully better than Zeitgeist.

Well this is easily the best Pumpkins album since Siamese Dream and up there with the best. Corgan has ditched the over-produced approach of the last album and gone with a more traditional Pumpkins sound. You can actually hear guitars on this record :shock:

Just given it a few listens and I'm liking it so far. Maybe not quite as instantly stand out as his best stuff so far but definitely a step in the right direction and like Minto said, more guitars! :D

The last few tracks on this are probably the best and most sonically focused on guitars. That instrumental track at the start is excellent as well but the noise doesn't really pick up 'till near the end.

Still miss Jimmy on drums though...

I missed the last tour they did in the UK back in November but hopefully they return soon as I'd like to hear these tracks live.

Yeah it really is rather splendid. Corgan doesn't half make it tough for his fans to "get" a lot of the songs on recent albums but this one :wub:
