The #SmashingPumpkins has always essentially meant #BillyCorgan and whoever was up onstage with him.  Corgan was always the band’s undisputed creative driving force, but it was nice, for a while, to see him maintaining some semblance of a stable band around him. And it’s also been nice, in a low-key way, to see him bring most of that band back.  Earlier this year, Corgan reunited with James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin, bringing back three-quarters of the original band, and the resulting arena shows have been, by most accounts, a whole lot of fun.  And now those two guys are playing on a Smashing Pumpkins album for the first time in years. Today, the Smashing Pumpkins are releasing their new album. It’s got the catchy title  Shiny And Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun , and it’s been produced by Rick Rubin.  We’ve already posted the early tracks “ Solara ,” “ Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts) ,” and “ Knights Of Malta .” And now we get to hear the whole thing.
