It's funny how this album turned out. I think I originally wanted a Smashing Pumpkins album reminiscent of that early 90's sound but unfortunately I got what I asked for. It certainly has none of the delicacies of either Siamese Dream or M&IS but it still feels old. Come to think of it, I'm not so sure any of those old Smashing Pumpkins songs are timeless. That era is our heyday and therefore we tend to become much more tightly attached. I don't think there are many sane people who will argue against that era being a golden age for mainstream music, but you have to ask yourself one question... Will your kids listen to it with any passion whatsoever? Great review Benom. It’s funny how this album turned out.
