(Banana 101.5) The Smashing Pumpkins are taking a detour from their massive 44-song project 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope' to bring you a full album called 'Oceania.' Frontman Billy Corgan says it's their best since 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness' — hopefully we'll be able to confirm that this Spring.Speaking to Sterogum recently, Corgan went as far as comparing the new record to one of their most beloved previous releases:
"I mean it's been a long time since I made a record where you play it for fifty people and fifty people say 'this is a great record.' I haven't had that since Mellon Collie where fifty people go 'OK, that's a great record.' That's a long time. That's fifteen, sixteen years between that feeling of 'OK, now you've got one here.'" more on this story
