Smashing Pumpkins - That's the Way

Corgan would have done well to eject this into his colossal skip of wonky rarities

Single Review by Philip E Stein | 08 Sep 2007
Label: Reprise
Wading in with a swagger that at first mimics Trail of Dead classic It Was There That I Saw You, though it ultimately struggles to carry any of that song's euphoric sheen, the Pumpkins' latest single selection on their - or his - comeback quest is an anaemic jam that Billy Corgan would have done well to eject into his colossal skip of wonky rarities. The ever dextrous Jimmy Chamberlain phones in some clattering beats while his master warbles on autopilot and tinkers with abstract Moog madness before the big solo. Parts of Zeitgeist are fantastic, but this is simply lukewarm, airy fairy filler. [Philip E Stein]
