New pumpkins streamline

Yeah, but, only The Smashing Pumpkins would have the pretentiousness to call an album Zeitgeist, before anyone has ever even heard it. On that grounds, I'm dismissing it without a listen.

I think what billy meant is the lyrical theme is about the times, and that the music reflects the period. I don't see the problem at all. They aren't saying this is a new musical trend at all. If anything he's saying they are falling into current trends. It's simple a album that represents the spirit of the time as they see it.

Nothing pretentious at all.
 
I guess we are interpreting it in different ways. :)

I like the Pumpkins, so I will listen to it, but I've gotta be honest and say I think they're a bunch of twats.
 
The last thing even vaguely associated with the Pumpkins that I've heard was Billy Corgan's side collaboration with Tony Iommi.
