alphseeker Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Sounds like the good old stuff - Billy's voice better than ever - http://www.nme.com/news/smashing-pumpkins/64266 Edited June 14, 2012 by alphseeker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandDesigner Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I still wish he'd utilize his whispery voice more like on their earlier albums, but the music side of Oceania sounds to be a great improvement over TBK and Zeitgeist. I streamed a bit but I want to wait for the full thing before I burn out on it before buying it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Heard about half of it so far. Best Pumpkins in years, very old school Gish song on many tunes. Looking forward to buying the album next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArrowSnake Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Love the early albums of the Pumpkins. Listen to them a lot. Is Jimmy Chamberlin drumming on this Oceania album? He's a great drummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Jimmy Chamberlin drumming on this Oceania album? He's a great drummer. Mike Byrne drums on this album. But yeah, Chamberlin is really fantastic. His jazz fusion band (The Jimmy Chamberlin Complex) did a great album a couple years ago called "Life Begins Again". Kicks the 'Pumpkins out of the water!

invisible airwave Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 The same critic on Entertainment Weekly who gave Bieber's new album a B+ gave this album a C. I suddenly feel like Luke Wilson in a certain Mike Judge cult classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a big part of the Pumpins' sound. I'll definitely check The Jimmy Chamberlin Complex out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushman14 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 got the album but have been too pre-occupied with another new release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shredder2 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I've been a Pumpkins fan longer than I've been a Rush fan (True story). I can't wait to get Oceania this Tuesday! I've listened to the stream, and my gosh... I'm satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
