I really like this album. Marchin' On is really good. Silvery Sometimes reminds me of 1979 so I like that one too. Travels, With Sympathy, etc. all good. Only one I don't think I like is Alienation. The opening track is just OK too but it is growing on me.

I listened to it yesterday, I liked Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts) much more in context of the album and thought Alienation wasn't bad either. Knights of Malta is just awful.

Yeah i dig pretty much the whole album. Alienation might be the one I like the less. Malta has grown a lot on me...and marchin on is pretty awesome. Corgan sounds good! This is actually a pretty good Rubin album too...
I haven't listened closely to the last two 'pumpkins' records but I have a hard time believing this Oh So Boring EP is better. Didn't people sort of like Oceania?

finally listening to this.
let me get this straight - corgan reunites the band after almost 20 years and decides that the first thing we should hear on their new record is a chorus of billy's, bass guitar, strings, and what sounds more like a drum machine than anything?
ok then.
i hate that i still care.

After 27 Years, Billy Corgan Finally Reunites With Stolen ‘Gish’ Guitar
About a year after Smashing Pumpkins issued their fuzzy, trippy debut, Gish, a thief stole Billy Corgan’s favorite guitar. The band had just finished a gig at Detroit’s Saint Andrew’s Hall in June 1992 when a friend who was acting as a roadie told him, “Somebody just walked out the back door with your guitar.” It hadn’t even been five minutes since the band finished the show, as Corgan recalls. “I was like, ‘How is that even possible? Where’s security? Where were you?'” He filed a police report and offered a $10,000, no-questions-asked reward for its return.
For the past 27 years, he’s heard rumors of the guitar resurfacing. “It got to the point where you started not believing it, because you heard it so many times,” he tells Rolling Stone. “It was like the lost treasure of Blackbeard or something.”
On Tuesday, Corgan’s fortunes changed. A friend of his contacted him with a picture of a guitar that looked like the stolen instrument. But he was still incredulous because he’d been tricked before. “Somebody sent me a picture a couple of weeks ago of another one of my guitars, and I wrote the guy back and said, ‘How did you get my guitar?'” he says. “And he wrote back, ‘Oh, it’s a recreation.’ He’d literally gotten the same stickers, worn them down in the same way and scraped the paint so it looked worn. You could have fooled me.” So he decided to check it out in person. Sure enough, it was the early Seventies Fender Stratocaster that he had been looking for for more than 25 years.
