Title: The best Pumpkins yet?
Review: "Gish" fans may find my review title pretentious, but really, this album shines from beginning to end. Combining the best elements of "Adore" with the artistic quality of "Mellon Collie", and the harder elements of "Siamese Dream", the album shows a maturity in songwriting while at the same time demonstrating a return to form - this due in large part to Jimmy Chamberlain's return - back to reclaim the percussion throne from the electronic drums found on the last album. The production is top notch due to Flood's and Alan Moulder's involvement, with lots of textures that don't take away from the solid writing and straight-ahead performances. While I liked a lot of the direction the band took on "Adore", there were a lot of filler moments, and "Mellon Collie" was just too long. While this one clocks in at a hefty 73 minutes, I seriously didn't dislike a single track!
