To be fair, listening to the new SP, hating it, and then coming to terms with it (whether actually liking it or just seeing a few redeeming aspects to it) has a been a defining feature of new SP releases since probably 1998, and certainly since Zwan.

I just wish BC curated it for us before releasing it. I want one 50 minute album without all the repetition. Just the best tracks. If he had a record label they would help with this.

Given that Atum has "done well", relatively speaking, I can't see him being on a label again. He probably feels justified operating the way he has.

Atum already dropped out of the Billboard 200 after only a week.

Metallica's new album remains in the top 200.

Ouch.

Billy isn't a good producer. Simple as that.

He wrote 33 songs, of varying quality, and made most of them sound horrible, and didn't put the effort or care into producing them well at all. Maybe he achieved the aesthetic he was chasing, but it wasn't working and he removed anybody around him who might tell him that.

"i shall be free of those voices inside of me"...billy voicing a shizophreniac desire. i work with these type of clients. i am sure it's not always funny..some of them hear funny voices though

I have a brand new set of incredibly overpriced headphones, so I’m going to listen to ATUM the whole way through with an open mind, since I never listened to most of it. wish me luck

Am I the only who finds it notable that *only* Billy Corgan is doing interviews/promotion for this album? Back when Shiny came out James and Jimmy would also go, and James was even allowed to talk. Billy seems to be annihilating any difference between SP and solo career.

Fritzi....true that.....well.it sounds like a solo album, produced like one and obviously it is one except a bit drums and maybe some jeff licks.

It isnt a band anymore....it is all about crogan bolly

Playing one of the nine bonus tracks from ATUM live, not released on the standard edition of the record:




I totally understand the wish for a new bass player...

So is releasing Zodian digitally another one of Billy's many broken promises?

no promise was ever made that it would ever really be released in any other format. he said there were still plans to finish the album at some point but the thing about them not being released digitally until at least December 2023 or something like that was just something to assure people buying the box that what they were getting would remain exclusive for at least that long.

It has three different ages:

ATUM:
Act One was released on November 15, 2022
Act Two was released on January 31, 2023
Act Three was released on May 5, 2023.

And then there are the nine unreleased bonus tracks for the people, who didn't buy the special box set...

Imagine getting three albums by the Smashing Pumpkins in the space of 6 months and not liking any of it
