I am listening to Smashing Pumpkins (SP) new album! The first album of seven years! I love what I hear and it brings me back to the time I fall for them right from the first song I listen to, “I am One” from the “Gish” album (1991)
In the early 90s to mid 90s there were few grunge/Alternative bands that really make a huge impression in my life, namely Nirvana, SoundGarden, Sonic Youth, Stone Temple Pilot, L7 and Green Day. After Kurt Cobain takes his own life in 1994 (or murdered some might argue) I have begin to just listening to SP, Foo Fighters and HOLE. This is because I really love them dearly. (I am still very sadden by Kurt’s departed up till today. I learn to play guitar for the first time after listening to “smell like teen spirit”)
After the late 90s, I have stop following grunge music since than.
I was delighted to know SP was doing their recording few month ago when I was watching E!. I was jumping up high to know that one of the SP songs was a “Transformer” sound track. (Giving me hints that an album is out soon!) I didn’t know what the title than but now was yeah! It’s called “Doomdays Clock”
This is the list of songs found in the latest album “Zeitgeist”

The Pros
- All the songs is gorgeous
- The SP taste still preserve (this is very important! Good Job!)
- “Global environmental/ war issues” consciousness
The Cons
- Only Jimmy Chamberlin remind in SP
- What’s the heck with Paris Hilton doing in the album art? It’s a big mistake with the hotel heiress please
Paris Hilton.
All in all, I am very happy with the album except for the Paris Hilton artwork. (Crazy!) This is my greatest album of the year! (My Linkin park too, definitely!)
Thank you for reading and I love you so much, I’ve NeverLost.
