| The ninth studio album from alt-rock icons Smashing Pumpkins, 2012's Oceania is the band's follow-up to their proper 2007 comeback release, Zeitgeist. Part of the band's long-form 44-song release series, Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, the album once again centers around lead singer/songwriter/gutiarist Billy Corgan. Backing Corgan here is guitarist Jeff Schroeder, who appeard on Zeitgeist along with newer Pumpkins bassist Nicole Fiorentino and drummer Mike Byrne. Although originally intended as a song-by-song project, Teargarden by Kaleidyscope was slightly re-imagined for these songs into a larger full-length by Corgan. In that sense, Oceania is purported to work as a kind of album-within-the-album of the larger Teargarden concept. | |

| The Smashing Pumpkins have a new album out (Oceania, their seventh studio release). I love the Pumpkins, and I love Billy Corgan. They were a very big part of my life when I was younger. Then, it got weird. They broke up in 2000 and since reforming in 2006, have had quite a few lineup changes. Pearl Jam never broke up and are still together with most of their original lineup, always make great music, and still tour and kill every time, with no drama. This is what I wanted the Pumpkins to be, but I am sure that is what Billy thought, too....read the full review | |

Rolling Stone (p.102)
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "'One Diamond, One Heart' sounds like Yes hanging in a German disco circa 1977, and 'Pinwheels' is folky moon worship with laser-show guitar streaks."

- "'Quasar' bursts with the heavy, strafing guitars a Pumpkins album demands....For the first time since MELLON COLLIE, Smashing Pumpkins finally sound like a band with an idea of where they're going."
