Jun 21, 2012Amazing. not since Siamese Dream has a Billy Corgan album sound so intense. It is a beautiful, exciting, rocking album from a band that has, at best, released mediocre material over the last 19 years. So Good!

Jul 17, 2012It really pains me to say this. SP was THE definitive band of my youth. This album is hot garbage. It's no better than any of the other horrible albums that have come out by SP in the past 10 years (not to mention an absolutely dreadful solo album by Corgan). Sadly, I'm done with SP and will no longer hope for them to produce good music.

UncutAug 2, 2012The loss of drummer Jimmy Chamberlain smarts, but "Quasar" and the :The Celestials" recall the Pumpkins' '90s heyday with out coming over as retread. [Sep 2012, p.86]

Jul 19, 2012Forget that it's probably the middle part of some overblown epic song set and enjoy it for what it is: 13 songs that try to break new ground, and generally succeed, while managing to sound like the Pumpkins we know rather than plastic studio production.
