Album Notes & Community Reviews
Billy Corgan recruits M枚tley Cr眉e drummer Tommy Lee for this notably brief, streamlined release. Eschewing the sprawling, multi-part prog-rock ambition of 'Oceania', the tracks focus heavily on immediate, synthesizer-laden pop hooks and concise alternative rock structures. The slick, upbeat production marked a surprisingly accessible left-turn for the veteran frontman's ongoing 'Teargarden by Kaleidyscope' conceptual project.
