    If that’s code for giving the people what they want, he’s delivered. From the moment Edin opens proceedings with 83 seconds of fearless fretwork, there’s guitar everywhere. Sighommi gallops like Iron Maiden taking on Black Sabbath, Goeth The Fall overflows with cascading hooks, and 999 is a reminder that Smashing Pumpkins were always masters of a slow-burner.

    With Aghori Mhori Mei, Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins have made an album for those grown-up kids, their fans; a rock & roll pyre lit with myth and memory.

    Aghori Mhori Mei is Billy Corgan’s return to his true passion, a fully formed and cohesive work that sounds like an actual Smashing Pumpkins album without resorting to self-references.

    Confidently delivered and teeming with ideas, it flies by as much because of its urgency as its cohesion.

    While Aghori Mhori Mei doesn't reach the same highs as some of their defining albums, it does show the original trio of Corgan, Iha, and Chamberlain forging a newfound musical identity in lockstep.

    Album thirteen not only acts as the best thing The Pumpkins has released in over a decade but also an exciting indicator of things hopefully to come – a welcome surprise from one of rocks most unpredictable acts.

    As much as the band fires up its engines, the record rarely achieves liftoff.
