No thread for the band, so I thought I'd start one.

Oceania in stores June 19th. Looking very forward to it!

Live version of one of my other favorites. It's drastically different than the album.

screw that video. It was short and awful. Anyway "One Diamond, One Heart" is a great track.

Picked up the new album the other day a gave it a full listen in the car yesterday. After all the positive reviews it's been getting, I really didn't think it was as good as I was expecting. A lot of it sounded very similar with the exception of tack 7/8 (Couldn't check titles, I was driving.

Maybe it needs a few more listens to grow on me but after that initial spin, I'm not sold on it.

it does sound like a continuation of the Teargarden stuff...that part I liked.
Hey, it's just a fucking record. Chill.

In general I like it. However, it's missing those few killer songs (zero, bullet, stars, siva, etc...)

No. After going 8/44 (2/11) of the Teargarden project. He ate his words about albums being obsolete and unnecessary and shelved the project to focus on this album. He says it will be revisited in the future. We'll see.

From what I understand, it is an "album within the album." He said that he wanted to focus all the new members and thought an album was the best way to do that. So, this really is a continuation of the Teargarden theme. He has stated that there will be anywhere from 43-60(!!) songs total for this project. I just hope he gets to them sooner than later. Billy is notorious for dragging his feet and not delivering though, so we'll see. I think the re-issues are seeming to take precedent over this at the moment. Hopefully this changes. Wish he'd tear himself away from his tea house and wrestling projects. They take time away from the music and he seems to almost care about that shit more at times!

Pisces Iscariot reissue our July 17.

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases ... 62575.html

"HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/-- EMI Music's extensive reissue campaign honoring the legacy of THE SMASHING PUMPKINS continues July 17 in North America and July 16 internationally. That's when the iconic alternative band's third album PISCES ISCARIOT--1994's platinum-certified disc that reached #4 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart--receives the fully remastered treatment for the first time. This follows last year's acclaimed reissues of the band's groundbreaking first two albums, Gish (1991) and Siamese Dream (1993).

"A collection of odds and orphans from the dusky realms of Pumpkinland" is how PUMPKINS founding member BILLY CORGAN describes PISCES ISCARIOT in the liner notes penned by David Wild. "PISCES ISCARIOT was the little mix tape that went platinum," writes Wild. "This unlikely smash album that some came to mistake for the Pumpkins' third studio effort even yielded a hit single--another wonderfully odd moment in the landslide that was the intense early success story of Smashing Pumpkins."

Featuring the band's take on the Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks song "Landslide" which reached #3 on Modern Rock Tracks chart, PISCES ISCARIOT is being released in multiple configurations: Deluxe Physical Album--which comes with a live DVD and the first-ever PUMPKINS demo reproduced on cassette--Deluxe Digital, Standard Physical, Digital and 180G Vinyl. The bonus content and special features were curated from the band's archives by CORGAN, and have been painstakingly remastered for the first time from the original master tapes by Bob Ludwig. *See all track listings below.

With the full support and guidance from THE SMASHING PUMPKINS--who've created one of the most acclaimed bodies of work in musical history, selling over 30 million albums--EMI's global catalog reissue campaign will last through 2013; it will encompass all the band's albums and B-sides from 1991-2000, with other release dates to be announced. The pivotal group's many hits defined the alternative music era and continue to resonate on modern rock radio, influencing a whole new generation.

As THE SMASHING PUMPKINS get the fully remastered treatment via these reissues, the band is excited to be moving forward by creating new music. On June 19, the band released OCEANIA, via Martha's Music/EMI Label Services/Caroline Distribution. Marking THE SMASHING PUMPKINS' 7th studio record, it is "an album within an album," part of their 44-song work-in-progress TEARGARDEN BY KALEIDYSCOPE. OCEANIA was recorded at the group's studio in Chicago with CORGAN's bandmates: guitarist JEFF SCHROEDER, drummer MIKE BYRNE and bassist/vocalist NICOLE FIORENTINO.
