Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by an incredibly sharp, aggressive stop-start guitar riff, 'Zero' is a furious blast of heavy metal-infused alternative rock. Billy Corgan's lyrics are deeply cynical and nihilistic, presenting a persona that is entirely disillusioned with fame and love. Included alongside five B-sides, the single showcases the band's willingness to embrace abrasive, metallic textures at the absolute peak of their commercial popularity.
