The fickle fascination of an everlasting God.

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2000
Review: Quite a while before it ever became as huge of an issue as it has since become, I was running a search on the Smashing Pumpkins on Napster, to see if there were any live tracks or decent remixes to download. And a number of songs came up in the...

Something new from the Pumpkins

Date of Review:  Jul 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: MACHINA is the Pumpkins return to a heavier sound. It features some great songwriting and music. Only minor flaws hold it back.
Review: The Smashing Pumpkins' long awaited "Return to Rock" only partially fits that description. Yes, drummer Jimmy Chamberlin has returned after going through drug rehab. Yes, they've almost entirely gotten rid of the synthesized electronica textures...

You Know They're Not Dead!

Date of Review:  Mar 1, 2000
Review: "You know I'm not dead!" wails Billy Corgan on the first line of the first song on the Smashing Pumpkins newest album MACHINA/The Machines of God. The Everlasting Gaze is not only the first song but subsequently the first single. It's a reminder...

Back to Basics

Date of Review:  Mar 2, 2000
Review: God I hate Billy Corgan. The problem is, every time I work up a good urge to kick his teeth in, he goes and puts together an album like this, and I have to let it slide. Machina/The Machines of God is an exercise in delusions of grandeur, but it's...

Trip the Light Fantastic

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2000
Review: The thing I like most about the Smashing Pumpkins is that every album released has a totally different sound, yet, at a fundamental level, remains the same.

As I waited excitedly outside Radioland on the 29th of February to get the new Cd...

Try to Hold On

Date of Review:  Feb 12, 2005
The Bottom Line: It's good.
Review: The other day, one of those little tests of daily life that most of us have to go through happened to me.

A very short and well-turned out lady strolled up to me as I waited for my train, quietly minding my own business. I was listening to...

The Pumpkins Go Out Without A Bang

Date of Review:  Apr 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: The Pumpkins run out of steam here after creating 4 great albums. For die hard fans only and certainly not the right album to get to know the band from.
Review: A few years ago it seemed that fate had turned its back on the Smashing Pumpkins and their leader Billy Corgan. After 3 very successful albums and a stint as the world's most popular band, their 1998 album Adore was shunned by fans and the press...

This Time Around

Date of Review:  Sep 10, 2001
The Bottom Line: A great end to a great band. An essential alternative rock album, with slightly sub-par production as it's only real drawback
Review: The Smashing Pumpkins had a strange career. It was filled with drug related arrests and problems with their record company. Machina was the last album they released through their record label Virgin. It was billed as a return to the hard rock sound...

MACHINA/a mediocrity

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2000
Review: In the weeks and months preceding the Smashing Pumpkins? most recent release, the rumors were rife; the buzzards were hovering. After the lagging sales of 1998?s dead-on-arrival Adore, the suspiciously sudden defection of bass guitarist D?Arcy in...

Rotting Pumpkins

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2000
Review: When I became aware of the Smashing Pumpkins? existence, back in the early nineties, I was in love for the first time, namely with Michael Stipe, and highly sensitive to anyone who wanted to co-opt Michael?s image.
Enter Billy Corgan?skinny,...
