Editorial Reviews

Formed in Chicago, IL in 1988, The Smashing Pumpkins released their heralded debut album Gish in 1991 and found mainstream success with 1993’s 4x multi-platinum Siamese Dream and 1995’s 10x multi-platinum Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Following the release of Adore, Machina/The Machines of God, and Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music, the group’s original lineup disbanded in 2000. Singer/guitarist Billy Corgan reformed the group in 2005, enlisting various collaborators for Zeitgeist, Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, Oceania, and Monuments to an Elegy. In June of 2018, The Smashing Pumpkins released their new single “Solara” ahead of their monumental Shiny And Oh So Bright Tour. The track was the first song in over 18 years to feature founding members Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin, alongside longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder and offered the first glimpse of music from the newly reformed lineup. In September of 2018, the band formally announced their forthcoming 10th studio album SHINY AND OH SO BRIGHT, VOL. 1 / LP: NO PAST. NO FUTURE. NO SUN. and shared its second single “Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)”. Recorded at Shangri La Studios with legendary producer Rick Rubin, LP is due for release on November 16th, 2018 via Martha’s Music under license to Napalm Records. With over 30 million albums sold to date, the GRAMMY®, MTV VMA, and American Music Award winning band remains one of the most influential bands in history.

5.0 out of 5 stars The post-Zeitgeist records are hit & miss. This one is a hit.

Old fan here since the "Today" video aired on MTV every 45 or so minutes.

I'm not going to lie, on first listen I thought the opening track "Knights of Malta" was garbage and was going to be a clear indication that what follows would also be garbage. But after several listens of this very short 8-song journey, not only did "Knights of Malta" grow on me, but it is also one of my favorites from this record.

"Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts)" has a very "1979" vibe but at the same time does its own thing and doesn't try to be a remake. "Travels" is an appropriately named slightly slower-paced feel-good driving song.

The obvious standout track is "Solara" reminiscent of SP's cover of "You're All I've Got Tonight" with a little bit of "United States" 'jungle-drumming. I've been an SP fan since Siamese Dream and I *finally* saw SP in concert for this first time this spring/summer (may 2022), and I was pleased but not surprised to hear an extended version of Solara being played, with a lengthy drum solo in the middle.

"Alienation" is an interesting one that would blend in well on several albums including Mellon Collie, Adore, Machina, or Oceania. "Marchin' On" cranks up the fuzz and returns to the grungy hard rock side of the Pumpkins.

Continuing the softer/harder pattern closes out the record with the final two tracks. "With Sympathy" might be my least favorite but does remind me of another song of theirs which title escapes me at the moment. "Seek And You Shall Destroy" is 2 1/2 minutes of pure goodness that left me wanting more at its abrupt end.

For the record, I loved Oceania, but not so much Monuments To An Elegy. I didn't like Cyr at all.
Everything from Gish & Lull to Zeitgeist are perfect classics in my eyes.

He smashes expectations. The opening track Knights of Malta does this immediately with a distinctively light, upbeat atmosphere. This album's aesthetic is deliberate. Corgan's views on pop and the industry are well documented. So why embrace that sound, alienate his base, and not release a Siamese/ Mellon Collie part 2? (They easily could.) Because he's making a grander statement at the risk of being misunderstood, and he's orchestrating the trajectory of his legacy. He's a performance artist on a Bowie/ Kanye tier. When you think about it, incorporating pop and subverting expectations of his fans that he obviously knows how to please is very punk. Its a proverbial spit in the face. It's an integrity reminiscent of Dylan and Young. Critics only listening to the album on a surface level and not considering his deeper intentions begs the question: What qualifies you to be rock critics at all? Lyrical and musical clues hint Volume 2 will pick up right where Seek and You Shall Destroy left off and be the old-school pleaser album you all have been waiting for.

In the meantime, we have this collection of immediate Pumpkins tracks to muse over. Billy's lyrics here are deceptive, vulnerable, cynical, hopeful, and at times theres a hint of nostalgia. He sings with a gorgeously developed vibrato and bravado, and he arranges with that musical intuition he's always excelled at. Jimmy Chamberlain performs with a restraint and versatility that demonstrates the spectrum of his abilities. James Iha's angelic fills and subtle textures remind us why he is such an integral part of that Pumpkins sound. And to me Jeff Schroeder is the 5th Pumpkin, and his welcome involvement really helps fill out the music. And a respectful nod to Jack Bates, who compliments the band's sound exceptionally. I have a sneaking suspicion D'arcy will be back for Volume 2 and the new tour after a year of warming up. I might be wrong...

Speculation, come on get ourselves together...

In the fall of 1993 MTV began rotating the video for Smashing Pumpkins' "Today". At that time, I hated grunge, and the new alternative music movement. "Today" was no different. I remember thinking who are Smashing Pumpkins? Billy Corgan looked like a hippie throwback in that video, and the song was irritating. Over time, the song's melody grew on me, and by the time "Disarm" was released, I had a passing interest. You see, I grew up in the 1980's, where 'grunge' was punk or metal and not some hybrid. It took several months before I bought "Siamese Dream" in 1994. I don't even think I was aware of their debut, 1991's "Gish". So, in 1995, when "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" began its rotation on MTV, followed by the release of the double-album "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" (which I bought on day 1) I finally gave myself over to the Pumpkins.

However, I have always remained critical of the band--"Gish" was slight, "Siamese Dream" was uneven, "Mellon Collie" was bloated, "Adore" was bloated and uneven, "Machina" was bloated and uneven, "Zeitgeist" was bloated and boring, but "Oceania" in 2012 was different, followed by the slight "Monuments to an Elegy" in 2014 (these last two albums were apparently the result of a grander scale idea called "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope" which never fully materialized.

All the while, I have believed that Billy Corgan is Smashing Pumpkins whether he formed another band like Zwan, or put out two solo albums under his own name. He is the key. So with James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin back in the fold, we get "Shiny and Oh So Bright"--an obnoxiously long pompous title for a 'comeback' album that I don't really see as a comeback since Billy Corgan has periodically released Smashing Pumpkins albums every 4-5 years. The longest gap was 2000-2007 in which Corgan did Zwan and a solo album. So he's never really gone away to create a 'comeback' situation. Plus, D'arcy Wretzky hasn't played nice.

What the Pumpkins do right on "Shiny and Oh So Bright" is dispense with past bloat. This is a short album of 8 relatively short songs. Perfect. They also got producer Rick Rubin on board. Perfect. These are strengths.

Mid-range strengths consist of not drastically changing their sound to fit the current times. This is both a plus and minus. It's a chance to reassert, but it's a wasted opportunity to experiment and grow. This is safe Pumpkins music. Also, Corgan manages to bring the angst back, which is also a plus and minus because he's been there, done that, but the last few Pumpkins albums really needed more angst and darkness.

The bad? The band couldn't mend fences with all original members. This is the worst charting Pumpkins album since their 1991 debut. They should have gone with a major label to get that promotion behind it. I suppose this album might feel slight to fans.

For me, I liked it. Easily four stars. None of the songs are bad, though "Knights of Malta" has Corgan engaging in a baby cry throughout the song which is a bit obnoxious. Generally, if "Shiny and Oh So Bright" is any indication of more Pumpkins music in the future, my interest in piqued. This is the first album since "Machina" that sounds cohesive, barring "Oceania" which I have a sweet spot for.

Here's how "Shiny and Oh So Bright" compares to the Pumpkins other works:

1991 Gish: Two and a Half Stars
1993 Siamese Dream: Three Stars
1995 Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness: Four Stars
1998 Adore: Three and a Half Stars
2000 Machina/The Machines Of God: Three and a Half Stars
2002 Zwan [by Zwan]: Three and a Half Stars
2005 TheFutureEmbrace [by Billy Corgan]: Three Stars
2007 Zeitgeist: Three Stars
2012 Oceania: Three and a Half Stars
2014 Monuments To An Elegy: Three Stars
2017 Ogilala [by William Patrick Corgan]: Three and a Half Stars
2018 Shiny and Oh So Bright: Three and a Half Stars

Poco ma buono. Sono solo poco più di 30 minuti ma non c'è un secondo sprecato in questo album che si ascolta tutto d'un fiato, senza un attimo di noia. Orecchiabili tutti motivi, pur nella loro raffinatezza. Non per questo stancano dopo qualche ascolto. Ne ho inserito almeno 4 nella mia ultima playlist per correre. Ok, non essendo un ragazzino, devo precisare che non vado molto veloce!

Enfin voilà un disque au niveau des pumpkins. Bon il est vrai plus calme mais eux aussi prennent de l’âge. Je ne vais pas faire une critique sur toutes les chansons mais sachez que vous ne serez pas déçu. L’attente fut longue mais le résultat vaut la peine. Par contre pour moi un peut court. Et oui quand cela est bon on en veut plus. J’ai pris la version silver et très beau vinyle. Donc foncez l’acheter.

3 de los 4 Pumpkins originales. No es un Siamese Dream ni Mellon Collie, pero suena a Pumpkins con un nuevo estilo(producción de Rick Rubin).

En general, se nota que estas 8 canciones no fueron diseñadas para un LP. En principio iban a ser lanzados mediante dos EP y es por ello que falta cohesión entre los temas, pero en fin, no esta nada mal.

Como punto positivo, que Billy demuestra que puede cantar como en los viejos tiempos(Marchin' On).

Como punto negativo, lo mal que queda la batería. Suena comprimida, y cuando tienes a una bestia parda como Jimmy Chamberlin, es desperdiciar su gran talento con mezclas tan mal hechas.
