Pitchfork's Sam Sadomsky already crushed it out of the park, pointing out this is the best Smashing Pumpkins album in years. Those guitars're so noisy, and then so sweet. And the goblin shrieking's annoying, but is it any worse than the nasal king of gloom? It's brutal to think that in an alternate world, Billy could have kept pushing into the noisy corners Mellon Collie peeked under, instead of retreating into Green Album mediocrity.
A noisy, ambitious, tuneful mess of an album that I'd rather listen to than a hundred gutless alt-McCartneys 4/5
