Smashing Pumpkins

Aghori Mhori Mei

A bruising and shadowy return to form from original Smashing Pumpkins members Jimmy Chamberlin, James Iha, and Billy Corgan. Recorded in the immediate aftermath of their 33- song concept album, ‘Atum’, 'Aghori Mhori Mei' harkens back to the band’s early 90’s canon; where guitars, bass, drums, and spiking vocals ruled.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Does this sound like early Smashing Pumpkins? No, not really - we still get the finely produced, synthy stomp that now seems typical of Monuments To An Elegy or Cyr BUT we also get segments brimming with the storming fuzzed-out thrust and grungy quiet-loud tenderness of their early years. For me, the best Pumpkins LP in at least a decade.

The Smashing Pumpkins

ATUM

ATUM is a rock opera presented in three acts by inimitable American rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. The album tells an epic interplanetary story set in the not-too-distant future, though the songs themselves respectively stand on their own in the Pumpkins pantheon. This is the final installment in a concept album trilogy, which began with 1995’s Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness and then continued with 2000's Machina/The Machines of God. The album features three original members of the band - William Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin - as well as longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder. Corgan had been developing the idea for the rock opera for years, and the pandemic gave him the time off the road to meticulously complete it in the grandiose way he had intended.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: As Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness is one of my favourite albums of all time, it's impossible not to be excited by this epic culmination of the trilogy that includes that and 2000's also-excellent Machina (Machines of God). A huge, expansive collection, spanning the Pumpkins' wide tonal palette.
