Album Notes
Smashing Pumpkins: Billy Corgan (various instruments); Jimmy Chamberlin (drums).
Following the demise of the short-lived Zwan and an ill-received solo album (THEFUTUREEMBRACE), singer/guitarist Billy Corgan decided to revive the Smashing Pumpkins, issuing ZEITGEIST, the revered alternative-rock group's first official studio outing in more than seven years, in the summer of 2007. Pared down to the core of Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlain for the album's recording, the Pumpkins sidestep past sonic indulgences, avoiding the overt lushness of MELLON COLLIE AND THE INFINITE SADNESS and the electronic leanings of ADORE, to create a sharply honed aesthetic that is enhanced by the presence of veteran producers Roy Thomas Baker (The Cars, Queen) and Terry Date (Deftones, Soundgarden).
While there are lighter moments on ZEITGEIST (see the shimmering "Neverlost"), the Pumpkins seem most at home when doling out heavy, upbeat numbers, particularly the searing "Doomsday Clock" and the hard-charging "Tarantula," which showcase Corgan's signature six-string ferocity and Chamberlain's percussive punch. By reining in his often-overactive muse, Corgan has arguably crafted his most focused record since SIAMESE DREAM, making the reinvigorated Pumpkins--rounded out by touring musicians Jeff Schroeder (guitar), Ginger Reyes (bass), and Lisa Hamilton (keyboards)--much more than just a halfhearted reunion act.

Editorial Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- ZEITGEIST is irrefutable evidence that Corgan's vividly haunting and singularly menacing songwriting faculties are indeed still intact.
Uncut

This resumption of a brand name and sensibility brings the thunder; if you're nostalgic for the 90's, it's like curling up with a warm Marshall stack. -- Grade: B
Entertainment Weekly

3.5 stars out of 5 -- [T]his is a loud, almost triumphant statement that finds the Pumpkins' founder rediscovering his strengths...
Spin

Included in Rolling Stone's 50 Top Albums of the Year 2007 -- [They] make an art-pop roar worthy of the Pumpkins crown.
Rolling Stone

4 stars out of 5 -- The best thing about ZEITGEIST is that Corgan is back to what he does best: hard-rock architecture. His wall-of-guitars overdubs are exhilarating in their details.

    16 of 18 people found this review helpful.

    FINALLY!

    The boys are back!
    Old and new fans will definitely like something off of this cd!
    It took 2 listens for me to really appreciate ALL of it,
    and I actually went to school with Billy.
    No Shiznit!

    Of course, everyone will agree, Doomsday Clock, and Tarantula and 13 more songs just like those 2, would be the perfect album.
    You have to be open minded w/this album.
    There is a very RAW sound at times, and a very TRIPPY sound at times.
    Whatever you're not sure about will sound better the 2nd time.
    Alot of different sounds on here.
    The chorus of We Are Starz sounded pretty Generic (kinda weird)
    the first time I listened to it.
    Now, I actually love that song.

    You will not be disappointed with this cd!!!
    The silver copy has a dvd and 15 songs!!!
    Holy Shiznit! That's Friggen Awesome!
    BUY THIS NOW!
    Take my advice, If there is a coupla songs you're not to sure of
    because of what you are used to...
    Listen 1 or 2 more times!
    Hey, Check out "United States"...
    THE ULTIMATE TRIPPY, HEAVY, NEVER ENDING, JAM SESSION!
    This is music that no one in the world makes anymore.
    Billy and the boys can get away with it and it sounds F-ing COOL!
    Ya gotta check out the guitar in Pomp and Circumstances
    Almost Purple Rain-ish. Simple, but beautiful!

    If you dont like it,
    Billy wil give you a Full Money Back Guarantee!!!
    LOL!

    Do yourself and your cd collection a favor...
    Celebrate the return of the Smashing Pumpkins!
    5 stars!!!
