Editorial Reviews
The Smashing Pumpkins have announced their highly anticipated twelfth studio album; a three-act rock opera album titled ATUM (pronounced Autumn). ATUM will feature 33-tracks, and is the sequel to 1995’s Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina/Machine of God. ATUM was written and produced by Billy Corgan over the past 4 years. ATUM is a rock opera presented in three acts by inimitable American rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. The album tells an epic interplanetary story set in the not-too-distant future, though the songs themselves respectively stand on their own in the Pumpkins pantheon. This is the final installment in a concept album trilogy, which began with 1995’s Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness and then continued with 2000's Machina/The Machines of God. The album features three original members of the band—William Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin—as well as longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder. Corgan had been developing the idea for the rock opera for years, and the pandemic gave him the time off the road to meticulously complete it in the grandiose way he had intended. When The Smashing Pumpkins first emerged out of Chicago in 1988, the world had never heard a band quite like them. They spun together rock, pop, shoe-gaze, metal, goth, psychedelia, and electronic into a kaleidoscope of saccharine melodies, fuzzy distortion, bombastic orchestration, incendiary fretwork, eloquent songcraft, and unshakable hooks. Upon their formation, their sound was different, iconoclastic, and wholly new—and it still is today. As a result, they’ve sold over 30 million albums worldwide and collected two GRAMMY® Awards, two MTV VMAs, and an American Music Award. Their catalog is highlighted by the platinum Gish [1991], the quadruple-platinum Siamese Dream [1993], diamond-certified Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness [1995], platinum Adore [1998], and gold Machina/The Machines of God [2000]. In 2018, they embarked on one of their most successful tours ever, the Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour, followed by SHINY AND OH SO BRIGHT, VOL. 1 / LP: NO PAST. NO FUTURE. NO SUN. Meanwhile, 2020 saw the release of the band’s eleventh full-length and latest double album, CYR.

Production-wise the album is most definitely shiny, as on-the-nose as that term here may be. Layered synths dominate the bulk of the work, echos of CYR for sure, but also different and ambient, really setting the tone for the retro-futuristic world that Billy Corgan has conceived. There are also guitar-heavy tracks, virtuosic instrumentals and solos, and acoustic passages. Billy’s voice and singing are fantastic, and the background vocals as well. The dynamic shifts one would expect of The Pumpkins are aplenty. The melodies, both vocal and instrumental, throughout the album are beautiful, catchy, and unique.
Since the album is a narrative I will refrain from singling out tracks. It’s one huge body of work and speaking in detail about any one song would be like breaking down a scene or two in a film, which doesn’t give the overall gist of the film as a whole, or at least may misdirect more than inform. (Though I will say if ‘Hooray!’ doesn’t bring a smile to your face, you may not be ready for this spaceship ride…)
I would highly recommend listening to the ‘Thirty-Three Podcast with William Patrick Corgan’ in which WPC really breaks down the story of the album by introducing the songs individually, episode by episode. It’s a deep dive and a lot to take in, but well worth the time one might invest.
One reason The Smashing Pumpkins endure is their artistic integrity has never faltered, even if some of their results from experimentation along the way have (always an interesting debate). For some, ATUM will be a masterpiece; a watershed moment, ushering in a new era for the band. For others, a letdown and a frustrating test in patience. For open-minded fans, eager to give a listen/chance, and without much in the way of expectations, I believe this risk-taking work will be given its own special place in their SP album collection.
Act 1:
I love some of the music here but it also features probably the worst pumpkins song ever written in Hooray. The lyrical content here is hit or miss for every
"Darkness scares and unawares
Is us selling you
Behind these walls and in your faults
Gains trust as sinew" - Beyond the Vale
you have several:
" I realize
Realize, I realize
I'd believed what was lonely in you
"I realize", said the knife to the spoon
I believed what was lonely in you" - Embracer
Act 1 is super strong in spots like: Good in Goodbye, Beyond the Vale, Steps in Time, the gold mask
Act 1 is also super weak in spots like: Hooray, Embracer, Hooligan
Act 2 has a much stronger start with "Avalanche" one of the best pumpkins songs in years. Heavy hitters like Empires and Beguiled are present on this act as well. Neophyte and Springtimes are two more standouts and the 3 track run of Beguiled into culling into springtimes are perhaps the strongest 3 tracks in a row on this whole album.
Act 3 seems to be the consensus strongest act at least among fans online but I think it speaks to the overall album's strength that I'm not sure if it is or isn't. Songs like intergalactic and in lieu of failure are super strong here as well. Cenotaph is one of the best ballads in a while and Harmageddon is a pretty strong heavy song as well. Overall if you are a pumpkins fan just be prepared that its not mellon collie or machina and you will be fine. Set your expectations to the unexpected and listen to the whole album and just let yourself be open to new sounds and songs. Overall, it is a good album and while i think it would have benefited from being cut down to 12-16 songs, I'm grateful we got the whole thing because even some of the songs i hated at first have grown on me...except for hooray it is horrendous.
