The Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania

After five years away from the limelight, the Pumpkins' latest album arrives.
Well, one original Pumpkin and a few newbies.

The Smashing Pumpkins are now essentially Corgan with a new but road-tested band. The band are: Corgan plus drummer Mike Byrne, bassist Nicole Fiorentino and guitarist Jeff Schroeder.

The album has some strong new songs, several of which anchor "Oceania". The tracks on the album are some of Corgan's best work since the '90s.

Greg Kot (who reviewed the album for Chicago Tribune) writes:
"For once the comparisons to ‘90s Pumpkins don’t ring hollow."
