Billy looks like he's doing good. It's so great that they are still putting out music.

great interview. The new album is fantastic. i've barely got through the last half because i keep listening to the first 5. it really is that good.

Great Job BC/JI/JC. ATUM is good, but this new album is probably the best material you've put out in a decade Billy.

[greggotoole]

I cannot believe how good this album is

[MagCynic]

What a great time to be a Smashing Pumpkins fan.

New album is awesome, easily their best work for a very very long time. I can't stop listening to it, there's so much to love. Thanks for giving the fans what they wanted, Billy 😎

War dreams of itself, I thought was a terrific single. After listening in the car I pulled in the supermarket parking lot to grab some things, turned off my car, started walking and realized my walking pace was on beat to that song..I was like, wow that's cool... Great Album Smashing Pumpkins!!

[alukuhito]

Thanks for the interview! Great album!

[CATNIPDEALER]

Very cool interview. WPC is the man. Either love him or hate him, he's a true artist and I will always enjoy his art.

You talk about taking chances, and I d9nt know where I would be if the pumpkins didn't take that chance. In my heart, I am a super fan of the first 5 albums only because after a time, I became very computer illiterate when it came to looking for new music. But those albums for one were complete from the first song to the last it spoke to me. I feel a bit delusional, but it did. I think I would cry if I ever met you, Billy, and I'm a fifty+ year old man. I truly think you are a genius. Thank you for keeping me alive.😊

I like it when they mixed in some Pop/rock songs. When they do pop, because it's filtered through all their own sensibilities, it really stands out. It was a good balance because it kept everything from sounding too similar to itself, while still sounding like the same group of people, and it was so fresh. I think people would dig their brand of pop/rock again, amidst all the "gotta fit into a category" type of musicians that weve been bombarded with for 15 years.

Put out those “middle years” on streaming and fans can rediscover them!

[onecryingjohnny]

Great interview!! The new album rocks. I can see better now where Billy was coming from with revisiting the old mentality. Also didn't know that "Sighommi" was pronounced like Iommi 😉

Based on # of plays in the first 24 hours, the fans have chosen Edin as the first single.

Love seeing Billy so happy and full of enthusiasm. My favourite song is Goeth The Fall.

[anthonygraham]

Ive listened to the whole thing 3 times fully through and it is a fucking great album!

[benjamincroft]

My favorite band, love everything they've ever done, solo projects the lot, and this album is just absolute insane i love it so much my god its so good. Also, big love to Atum, Cyr and Shiny Vol 1 love all those, also love the Teargarden by Kaleidoscope stuff love all of it long live the pumpkins

[DredgenX]

I thought it was a great album! The first song is amazing, and I also liked Sicarus alot. The really heavy guitar tones and riffs reminded me of alice in chains or metallica. The album truly sounds like an early Pumpkins album! Would def recommend.

[drewskkiiii]

My boyfriend and I are flying from Los Angeles to Argentina to see you guys play in his home city!! We have been fans Gish and we are so excited to see you in November!!

[lucristianx]

I was rocking to Edin before watching this

[chickenman]
