Smashing Pumpkins Release New Album Aghori Mhori Mei

Smashing Pumpkins have released their 13th studio album, Aghori Mhori Mei, adopting a unique promotional strategy by not previewing any singles prior to its launch. The album has received generally positive reviews from fans, many of whom have hailed it as their best work since the 90s, with one fan calling it 'a guitar-driven album.' Frontman Billy Corgan described the album as an exploration of the idea that 'you can’t go home again,' while attempting to recapture the essence of their earlier sound without falling into sentimentality. Musically, the album features extensive guitar work and long jam segments, with tracks like 'Edin' and 'Pentagrams' showcasing diverse arrangements. The release coincides with the band's ongoing North American tour alongside Green Day, as they continue to evolve their sound despite lineup changes. With its mix of nostalgia and innovation, Aghori Mhori Mei aims to resonate with both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
