User Album Review
With the achingly Pumpkins title of ‘Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun.’, the band’s ‘reunion’ album is eight tracks that boast the finer strands of their DNA without relying too much on nostalgia as a crutch. Opener ‘Knights Of Malta’ has Corgan with one foot in his usual mystical realm as he groans for ‘serpents and scarabs’, but musically one of their most unashamedly infectious moments as they blend Led Zep-esque choirs and strings with a modern pop vocal refrain.
They sound equally as comfortable in their own skin on the aching slow-burner of ‘Travels’ and arena-ready stomp of ‘Alienation’. They’re back in full nihilistic rock sludge mode on ‘Solara’ and on the firey chase of ‘Marchin’ On’, featuring oh-so-Corgan enigmatic opening line: “she kills the anti-clock”. Still, the heavier moments refuse to act as a sledegehammer of alt-rock pastiche, which this record could so easily have been. Instead, it’s a showcase of songcraft that’s allowed to breathe and reveal itself. Bring on volume two. The dream lives on.
