Classic Rock MagazineSep 19, 2024If 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.

Aug 5, 2024Album 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.

Aug 5, 2024Confidently delivered and teeming with ideas, it flies by as much because of its urgency as its cohesion.

Aug 5, 2024This album's initial impact and discog-relative quality may be nothing short of a wonder, but it only takes a few songs for all-too-familiar snags to make themselves felt. Though the mix places him appropriately low, Corgan is still one of the worst singers in all rock music.

Aug 5, 2024As much as the band fires up its engines, the record rarely achieves liftoff.
