"All his fans ever wanted in the first place was a regular goddamn Smashing Pumpkins record, and Oceania is Corgan trying not to be a dick about it for once."
That's Steven Hyden from Grantland on the new Smashing Pumpkins' cut. I haven't heard it yet, and to be honest, despite my love for the band and my recent revisiting of their early catalog, I hadn't truly intended to. Zeitgeist never gripped me, and I couldn't be bothered to pay attention to whatever Corgan has been up to since. But I think I will be listening to Oceania very soon, and hell, I might even enjoy it.
Read the rest of Hyden's take on Corgan (and what he can apparently learn from Rush) here.
