Smashing Pumpkins - Monuments to an Elegy

Monuments to an Elegy is the ninth studio album by American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins, released on December 9, 2014.

Great band and new album: Monuments To An Elegy is essentially a Corgan solo record which shows flashes of his old power, while also straying into some seriously dodgy attempts to update the Pumpkins sound for 2014. ‘Tiberius’ is a promising start, employing a Pixies-esque loud-quiet-loud dynamic and sounding fittingly imperious for a song named after a Roman emperor. ‘Being Beige’, where Corgan rails against modern, selfie-obsessed narcissism, is the album’s strongest moment, casting the 47-year-old on familiar territory as the erudite outsider, always his greatest strength. 'Anaise!' catches Corgan at his most romantic, while closer 'Anti-Hero' is the album's most raucous, most punk moment.
