I tend to side with the more sincere reviewers for the new album. Despite winning me over with "Tarantula," my expectations were still pretty low. I think Pitchfork actually phrased this pretty well at the end of their review, "Given the chance to revisit the good old days, Corgan has unearthed only a portion of the Pumpkins character-- and while that portion is meticulously revived, all the parts left behind remain sorely missed." Accept that piece of Pumpkins history that Corgan chose to unleash on the album and you may be pleasantly surprised. Play Siamese Dream afterwards and you'll be sorely disappointed. I'll choose the former and take it for what it's worth, a decent attempt at Corgan becoming relevant again. Oh, and I'll ingore the atrocity that is the final song on the album.
