one of my favorite tunes as well chris. 

I like Luna and Tonight Tonight, and We Only Come Out at Night.

I'm of the opinion that Melon Collie is their magnum opus, and is their most versatile and ambitious work, and contains the most brilliant songs they've made, while Siamese Dream is their best rock album, and while it doesn't have the peaks of Melon Collie, it has less filler and is just brilliant from beginning to end.

yeah, the filler on melon collie gets in the way for me :(

So has anyone else heard Oceania yet? Not sure if I dig the less gritty vocal style.

You can stream the whole album on iTunes for free right now. Go have a listen. 

Sounds decent insofar.

The last few Corgan efforts seem to really move away from the gritty sound that I enjoyed in my younger days.  Some nice melodies though. 

I will be astounded if the new album doesn't completely suck.

Me too...actually its quite good.

Some interesting melodies, but I do miss some of the grittiness of the earlier Pumpkins albums.. Have to give it a proper few listens though before I can really judge it.

yeah but honestly, there's a million other album that have come out recently that I'm sure blow it away. still would be interested in hearing though...

Billy as said himself that his voice has changed quite a bit-probably has something to do with it. It was a pretty dramatic change starting with Zeitgeist. I bought Oceania day one but I'm waiting for my ZDSE and probably another T1 before I give her a listen.
