After mixed response to 'Shiny and Oh So Bright Vol. 1’, are Smashing Pumpkins planning to lean on their past glory?

After a lukewarm response to their reunion album 'Shiny and Oh So Bright Vol. 1', frontman Billy Corgan is teasing a reissue of their seminal 2000 album 'Machina II'.
PUBLISHED DEC 11, 2018

90s alt rock legends Smashing Pumpkins were off to a shaky reunion this year. After burning bridges with ex-bassist D'Arcy Wretzky for good, three-fourths of the Pumpkins' original lineup - frontman Billy Corgan, bassist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlain - finally reunited to unveil their new album, 'Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1/LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun'.

But in a year full of impressive comeback albums, the once-fringe rock group failed to find their footing as the album opened to mixed reviews and lukewarm reception. Earlier in November, we spoke about how 'Shiny and Oh So Bright Vol. 1' debuted at No. 54 on the Billboard 200 album charts, technically making it the band’s second-worst performing chart debut to date.
