| Awesome record. For anyone into the band, this is a serious return to form. I know that's a cliche but the description stands for this album. It's tough to pick highlights on this one too, the quality never dips. Every time I listen to it, I've a different favourite track. Anyone else pick it up? |

Got it, listened once, like what I heard but need to go back to it.
TBH I liked Zeigeist and the other Teargarden stuff so not sure about a return to form, live they had lost somet (well back in 2008 they were crap). |

Yeah, I liked the last record too, but it definitely had more than a few fillers on it. This one is a few levels up from that though.
In the live setting it remains to be seen if they can still cut it, I didn't enjoy the gig in 2008 either. |

| As a long-time fan, who had given up hope on Corgan, this has been a bolt-from-the-blue. It's a fantastic rock album, that's in places psychedelic, proggy, poppy and dreamy. Whilst it'll never top the original line-up's output - it is a real return to form. Quality from start to finish! |

| Sure is, but make no mistake, that's one tasteful drum performance on this record. One seriously talented kid. |

| The kid's seriously precocious - Jimmy Chamberlin's a hard act to follow. |

| To be honest, I hadn't high hopes for this record, but gave it a go and I'm glad I did as it's a really good return to form. It's one of those albums that needs repeated listens, but each listen brings you new sounds. |
