Yay! New Smashing Pumpkins track out...

The track is a move away from the lush, fully-produced orchestral numbers that Smashing Pumpkins produced from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, but still with all of Billy’s snarling angst and a rockin’ guitar beat – I was worried that it’d be too emo-pop like Billy’s last band, the unsuccessful  and oddly named Zwan. Nonetheless, Smashing Pumpkins is probably the only band I can think of where I’d rate EVERY single one of their albums 9/10 or 10/10… Billy Corrigan is a overbearing asshole (or at least that’s his reputation), but he’s also a perfectionist and amazingly consistent with the quality of his work.

In celebration of the new album, and just for fun, here’s my Favorite Five albums of all time…  How does this compare with your list?
