Smashing Pumpkins — If All Goes Wrong

in
By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) February 25, 2009 4:06 pm
If All Goes Wrong is part documentary and part concert film, both linked by the band's feted — if incomplete — 2007 reunion. The 100-minute documentary follows original Pumpkins Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin and their trio of young hired guns as they prepare for a pair of concert residencies in Asheville, N.C. and San Francisco.

Sure, it wasn't as anticipated a reunion as, say, The Police, but that's only because Billy Corgan drew out the whole goddamn affair — the newspaper ads, the MySpace teasers, the expected failure of Zwan — to the point where there was no choice but a full-on Smashing Pumpkins reunion.

When Billy Corgan failed to deliver the angst-rock anthems everyone was expecting of him in favour of the majestic ballads of Adore, you could literally feel the anger welling in the rock geeks still debating the relative merits of Siamese Dream and Gish. Thankfully, on the pretentiously titled Machina/The Machines Of God Corgan stays the arty...

Smashing Pumpkins — Adore

in
By Sean K. Robb (CHARTattack) June 2, 1998 11:12 am
I'm a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan; I love 'em the way Dawson loves horror movies. Consequently, my hopes were extremely high for this album, which had been hyped prior to its release as a huge departure for Billy, James and D'arcy. The first hints at the new sound popped up on soundtracks last summer, with songs "The End Is The Beginning Is...
