Three-quarters of the original Smashing Pumpkins returned to the music scene last month with new album Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun. The album follows on the heels of the band’s reunion and immensely successful greatest-hits tour. With all the roaring angst, emotional depth, and musical sprezzatura of the band’s ‘90s classics, the LP seems destined to stand among the Pumpkins’ worthiest efforts.
