New Smashing Pumpkins Album: It Might Just Be A Teensy Bit Pretentious

More from MySpace-loving Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, via Billboard:

Last week, [Chamberlin] chronicled a “magnificent guitar symphony” from Billy Corgan featuring “eight guitars resonating in one big harmonic handshake. It is still ringing in my ears this morning.”

His posts carefully worded to avoid any mention of song titles or acknowledgement of who, if anybody, is working with he and Corgan in the studio, Chamberlin has also thanked “the Grateful Dead, Rush [and] Billy Thorpe for their guidance in this hour of need.”

So: A guitar symphony, Grateful Dead influences, and probably some sort of Courtney Love cameo. This is truly the album that has everything–save for a title.
