SheldonR.Jul 12, 2007Horrible effort. Can't describe the pain I felt in my heart from having to finish listening to this mess. Truly garbage.

moonwaffle6Jul 8, 2007who mixed this album? it sounds like corgan doing karaoke. oh yeah and it's boring. the sound of a desperate man-child lost adrift in a sea of his own delusions of grandeur.

starpowerJul 2, 2007lacking originality and overal substance that could have been....sounds more like a group of college kids got together and tried to make money with someone else's riffs.....as like about all popular music....very relatable to everything else herd on the radio....

StickiePJul 23, 2007A total disappointment. It lacks the emotion and depth of the earlier SP albums and sounds tired and dated.

VinGJul 3, 2007This album is absolutely terrible. Poorly recorded, poorly put together, and the instrumental talent of a high school garage band. I'm waiting for Billy Corgan to come out and say, "Haha guys! Just kidding! That album was just a joke!" Really, this one is bad. Avoid it like the plague.

NateSJul 5, 2007WOW!!! The Smashing Pumpkins have returned to sound exactly the same as every other top 40 rock band. No originality, no subtle wit, and well..... This album is uglier than my toilet after eating 10 microwave burritos

KaitarnD.Aug 24, 2008Chicago's totally changed when Billy and his companions recorded the triad Gish-Siamese-Mellon Collie. I'm one of the class A fan. But i cannot give this album more than a chance. No more charming lyrics, no surprising change of a chord, nothing but a rock LP without ideas. Solo album was at least admirable for courage. This is crap.

NBJul 12, 2007hardly listenable. really sounds nothing like the Pumpkins. overproduced to a point that everything blends together without any definition to the instruments or vocals. overall bland and tasteless, like generic mac and cheese.

Overall, Corgan's captivating effort to mine both the spirit of these turbulent times and the soul of his defining band is a smashing success.
-
Zeitgeistās orgy of avalanche rhythms, cascading riffs and sky-licking guitar is as grandiose as ever (the solo on "Tarantula" sounds like a nuke hitting a Guitar Center), but the bombast is softened as Corgan reaches out for shame-sharing community.
-
It's best treated as a curio in the Smashing Pumpkins' legacy; and for those who grew up on 'Today', '1979' and 'Ava Adore', you're better left with your memories.
