Smashing Pumpkins Announce Album Title, Release Date
 

Smashing Pumpkins announced via MySpacebulletin this morning that they will release a new album, Zeitgeist, on July 7 of this year. 07-07-07! How'd they land that lucky date? Well kids, it's a Saturday, proving that Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, and whoever the hell else is in the band think they are above and beyond the ways of the music industry (most albums come out on Tuesdays, see). Thanks to various reader tips for keeping us posted on this info.

Im excited about this, Im keeping an open mind to the music until I actually hear it.

Smashing Pumpkins are the Eagles of my generation

may they all burn in hell

yawn..

what a load of bollox

7-7-7 oh god what a rebel.

My god i'm excited about this too.
Two of the most wanted albums 2007 is the swedish band Kents new album, and The Smashing Pumpkins.

I love 2007.

Guaranteed to suck. Just saying.

Yup.

And what about James And Darcy?

I'm a big fan of the Pumpkins, but I don't exactly care for this new album. They call it a reunion, yet it's only 2 of the 4 members (who aren't dead either)

7-7-7 is as cheesy as when Thurston anounced 6-6-6

You are all retarded. That is all.

Especially Billy damn Corgan.

"Zeitgeist?"


HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I don't know...I thought "Machina" was WAY MORE hilarious :)

smashing pumpkins somngs were 99% written, recorded by uncle fester himself, corgan

he cannot play drums though, so they do not need James (I suck ass at guitar) Iha, and D'Arcy (I am only in this band because corgan used to fuck me in the ass and then I fucked Iha)

Haha fuck. Zeitgeist.

I'm sure it won't be as funny as pitchforks 0.0 rating of NYC Ghosts + Flowers

Ha!

I think this is closer to Zwan than the Pumpkins

they're certainly not thinking about money. certainly not.

they will always be popular because there are always bored middle class kids who want to be seen as slightly subversive to their peers. fucking duchebags.

Isn't that the same day the new HARRY POTTER book is being published?

yeh, but that was funny-- and didn't happen. This turd probably will be pooped out from billy cornhole.

yay hooray. i hope it's decent

Harry potter comes out july 21

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooops i'm not going.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooops i'm not going.

I love the pumpkins. They were the first band which I had ever loved and still love until today. But if that album sounds any similar to Billy's solo album...I'll cry.
Zwan's album wasn't the worst thing I ever heard, but I hope they have something better to give this time...

I think it will be good. There is enough good material on Machina II and djali zwan to give me hope, and Billy and Jimmy are all the band needs.

Ha, I love how no one of course mentions the Thurston 6-6-6 thing. But this album will probably blow. I was honestly hoping they'd get over the bullshit that they started with adore but it looks like their still hanging on to that crap.

And James Iha is amazing on guitar btw. He still is, and I would go see them live if he was in the band with Jimmy and Billy Corgan. Jimmy and Billy alone though, that's just destined to suck ass

There's some Pumpkins board that I used to be a member of that are all fanboys/girls are giving off the best reaction. Some are hilarious. But for real Hilarity, you must go straight to Billy's myspace comments. Pure entertainment.

I was damn close.

I mentioned the 6-6-6 Thurston thing...does that make me nobody? Since, "Ha, I love how no one of course mentions the Thurston 6-6-6 thing."
Heh.

RR wasn't released on 6-6-6, though.

yeah it wasn't but that was the announcement

I will not get on board with this unless/until both D'arcy and James are invovled. Without them, this is as good as another Zwan album to me.

In Australia it was.

Not exactly too thrilled witha new Pumpkins album. They really werent that good at the end of their career.

How many fans of early Pumpkins would go to see them if there was a conveniant tour? I'd go just to hope they played from some albums <MCIS but I'd expect to be disappointed. And the album will probably be shit, or boring standard zwan-rock.

I think it would sound more like Billy's solo album and machina.

i wonder if they will tour?

they will and i plan a lone vigil outside to save the kids souls.

The first song on the Zwan album was great.

i think they should just release a decent record with a couple of standout tracks, not a record that will "take over the world", which they seem to have done since siamese dream, or even gish.
every time they've tried that the album has lacked
