ReviewsIncluded in Rolling Stone's "50 Top Albums of the Year 2007" -- "They make an art-pop roar worthy of the Pumpkins crown.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "ZEITGEIST is irrefutable evidence that Corgan's vividly haunting and singularly menacing songwriting faculties are indeed still intact.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The best thing about ZEITGEIST is that Corgan is back to what he does best: hard-rock architecture. His wall-of-guitars overdubs are exhilarating in their details.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This is a loud, almost triumphant statement that finds the Pumpkins' founder rediscovering his strengths...", "This resumption of a brand name and sensibility brings the thunder; if you're nostalgic for the 90's, it's like curling up with a warm Marshall stack." -- Grade: B
Bought this second hand while on a "complete my Pumpkins collection" splurge. I'm not their most knowledgable fan, but know it's the album they (well, Billy and new guys?) did after breaking up. I loved the Zwan album, by the way. So Zeitgeist? Really good. Noisy, rocky, melodic. Better than several of the early albums.
