Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin has been writing in the band's MySpace blog about how well work is going on new material for their comeback album. He reckons it's going to be great, which it may not be, of course, given that Chamberlin could be considered a little biased. I suppose they've had five years off, though, so perhaps they are chockfull of ideas.
Chamberlin wrote: "Yes, things are sounding great my friends. Today we will be working on vocals and solos, tomorrow, who knows. We are channelers. Sonic students. BC [Billy Corgan] pulled off a magnificent guitar symphony last night and it is still ringing in my ears this morning. Eight guitars resonating in one big harmonic handshake!"
The album is expected to be released in 2007.
