CALLING a Pumpkins album Zeitgeist would have been appropriate about 10 years ago when they were one of the biggest bands to emerge from the grunge explosion.
But, like Pearl Jam before them, the Smashing Pumpkins have long since lost the spirit of the age'.
This is nothing more than a vanity project probably aimed at cashing in on the golden calf of reunions. Even in this sense it fails, as it's only half the original line-up.
I wouldn't trouble yourself with this one. Instead, grab Siamese Dream and reminisce to your heart's content.
