The Smashing Punpkins release Zeitgeist

The Smashing Pumpkins released Zeitgeist this past Tuesday (July 10, 2007).

I have been a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins ever since my friend played me their album Gish. I grow-up listening to their albums as a teenager and I still to this day I have them in my play list because I enjoy their music that much.

That being said my view on the Smashing Pumpkins new album might be a little bias. When I heard the first single off the album, Tarantula, I was almost instantly remind of Everlasting Gaze. It's hard, heavy and has a great bridge. But there were some elements of that song that of classic Smashing Pumpkins songs. Mainly the bridge because the always use a bridge to break into slower part the song.

Doomsday Clock was the next song that I hear. It was interesting because I had just finished watching the Transformers live action movie and the song came on during the credits. It's another solid rock anthem that I could sing along to.

It seems to me that artists these days are writing and preforming their songs with a purpose. One other artist that comes to mind is Nine Inch Nails. The release of Zero Year was quite political. In my opinion the Smashing Pumpkins have release a political record but they do it with a bit style and class. Billy has become aware of the world around him and his place in it and he wanted to put some of that down on paper. Which he has done perfectly.

Even though it's been seven years Zeitgeist was worth the wait. If you're a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins then this album is worth buying.
