What did you think? We can definitely hear a shift in the sound, but we can’t say this is as drastic as we hoped. But being suckers for the band, this is obviously amazing. We would even listen to Corgan just reading us a bedtime story. Monuments to an Elegy is the band’s 10th album and second instalment of the Teargarden by Kaleidyscope album cycle, which includes Smashing Pumpkins’ 2012 album Oceania, this record and Day for Night, which will be released in 2015.
