Getting back on topic... really enjoying listening to Zeitgeist tonight.... this album just clicks more and more with me every time I hear it...


Especially the tracks towards the end of it. I am seeing howe this all fits more into a Smashing Pumpkins legacy, how it kinda distills their old sounds and kinda turns it into something new... and how could it not be new - Corgan is older, has more issues sorted out and focusses on different things, regardless of what any other reveiwer I have read says...


But the wicked guitar work is still there, plus the choppy, jazz influenced drumming, that wonderfully nasal voice, the mix of heavy riffs and mellow reflection... ahhhh, this is how I love my Pumpkins...
