The Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania

This Time With A Punch

'Oceania' - Sydney, Sydney Entertainment Centre

             Formed in 1988 by frontman Billy Corgan and the rythm guitar James Iha, The Smashing Pumpkins is often reffered to as one of the bands which made the 90's. We often forget that they are still here and here to remind us, with a big slap is Oceania. They have not ever stopped putting music and since the turn of the century they have realesed five albums. Lacking in energy, they did not satisfy the people and thus must of the previous has been bought without being listen to, as Corgan said.

             Well this time i believe no one is sitting on their ears.The youthful spirit is something that is gone and isn't coming back is something and that was the key ingrediants in many of their most popular work. Instead we have a more mature situation and a messege full of experience.

"Try the way  

Cast off your indecision  

Face to face we breathe"

Deceitfully calm

             Oceania might mark the return of The Smashing Pumpkins or might be their last great album. Although i don't believe that they are the kind of people who when open the door don't go trough it.
