Exclamation Trippy Multi-Year, Multi-Release Concept Album?

Straight from Billy:

"Have plans to start recording a new multi-year, multi-release concept album by the end of this year. It will be very trippy and hopefully unique, and we’ll probably keep putting out singles here."


Source: http://theguide.latimes.com/blogs/so...chmen-trailer/

Is this old news? Anyway, sounds awesome!

Billy says a lot of things.

Such as Adore being techno and Zeitgeist burning lies from our soul.

Like recording a "Futuristic rock record" that was just a bunch of wannabe new wave songs.

i love how billy wanted us to think it was going to be insanely heavy and fast, full of tarantula-type rockers, and truth was it was full of middle-paced dull snoozers.

Great idea Billy, I couldn't think of a more perfect way to accelerate the pumpkins' descent into complete obscurity

If he means Gossamer, Glynis, GatGC, Starla, La Dolly Vita, Love style trippy, this is awesome.

If he means White Spyder style... erm.... uh oh. Is that song even trippy? Maybe depending who you are.

If it's gonna be on Guitar Hero, does that mean it's gotta have some semblance of actual guitar heroics to it? I.e. that it won't be a total wimpout/ballad?

The title makes me fear that it'll have touches of Bring the Light to it. But then again I thought Death from Above would crush me into dust. Whatever.

I agree, trippy=good.

But then again, Billy has described Superchrist as "psychedelic"

Edit: I'm not knocking it, but in terms of psychedelia, it's a bit of a let down.

That's an old photo from the book tour, I believe. He had that hideous 'stache back then.

I like how SP.COM reported this news by referencing a site that references the LA Times article, instead of just referencing the LA Times article, and 3 days after the LA Times article was released. I think they're trying to spread out their lack of information.

http://smashingpumpkins.com/news_5216
August 01, 2008 - Billy Corgan hints at new album.

This article discussing the upcoming G.L.O.W. single seems standard fair until the following sentence:

Corgan also said that the group “plans to start recording a new multi-year, multi-release concept album by the end of this year. It will be very trippy and hopefully unique, and we’ll probably keep putting out singles here.”

So here are some details about an upcoming album and recording sessions slated for the end of the year. Will G.L.O.W. be part of this album or will we see a new method for releasing music by The Smashing Pumpkins? So far, the method of release for G.L.O.W. has not been discussed.
