First Impressions: Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist
Smashing Pumpkins - Zeitgeist (Reprise)
Release Date: 07/07/07
Tracklisting:
Doomsday Clock [3:41]
7 Shades Of Black [3:15]
Orchid [3:58]
That's The Way [3:44] <- KEY TRACK
Tarantula [3:47]
Starz [3:41]
United States [9:50]
Never Lost [4:13] <- KEY TRACK
Bring The Light [3:35]
Come On (Let's Go) [3:15]
For God And Country [4:51]
Pomp And Circumstance [4:18]
Background:
Produced by Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin, with Roy Thomas Baker and Terry Date working separately on various tracks.
Billed as a "reunion", though only Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin are present.
It's the first Smashing Pumpkins album since 2000's Machina suite. In the interm Corgan has done one Zwan album and one solo album.
First Impressions:
Tracks #1 thru #7 are all aggresive, up-tempo guitar rock except for #4, "That's The Way", which is our guess for 1st single as it's the most "pop" track with a catchy verse and chorus.
"Never Lost" is one of the only ballad-y tracks. Like many of the Pumpkins' classics, it is low-key, but still driven by its composition and melodies. Plus there are strings.
The last two tracks are the only ones which are keyboard driven, with "Pomp And Circumstance" sporting timpani drums, choir-like vocals and squelching guitar.
Corgan's signature guitar tone is still as rich and forceful as it ever was.
As we have seen with the new lineup, Corgan's voice is what (supposedly) defines the Smashing Pumpkins as a band. But, much like in Zwan, here it seems that his natural angst is somewhat artificial and his screaming seems mellow in comparison the Pumpkins of the past.
Prediction:
With the recent commercial success of new bands like Silversun Pickups, it's uncertain whether or not the those outside the core SP fanbase will feel the need to reacquaint themselves with Smashing Pumpkins.
yeah. what do you people think the single is going to be? |

Things aren't looking too good with comments like this. That "only SP's core fanbase" phrase is what they said about Zwan and TFE.

especially the stuff about his angst sounding artificial and his screaming being mellow disturbs me. That does not sound good.
But the rest of it sounds promising...

Yeah - it's sounds like his vocals will remain the same as on his other recent projects. Man, I'd love to hear him let one loose like on X.Y.U.! I say ka-boom!!!!!!!!

We already knew that james wasn't in. But they're just saying that they aren't sure about who else is in the band, they don't say that d'arcy is not in the band.
But it's time to stop dreaming in any case. wake up, ofcourse d'arcy isn't in.

well RTB said billy was taking some chances with the vocals and really putting himself out there... or something like that. i'm pretty sure the producer knows better than filter. if billy's voice sucked on this album, roy wouldnt have mentioned them at all

yeah plus billy's voice has only improved since the beginning of sp. he's become a much better singer. I'm sure that the vocals will be great.

Yeah - but he didnt say they were great or his best work, he said he was putting himself out there - meaning he was trying new things. Let's just hope he didn't try too hard and over-do it.
