Smashing Pumpkins release video, streamable album

The Smashing Pumpkins made some of the most memorable music videos of the '90s, with "Tonight, Tonight" regularly landing near "November Rain" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on MTV’s annual top 100 video countdown. Inspired by silent film, its intentionally primitive theatrical props were more stunning than any 3-D CGI IMAX High-Definition Ultimate SFX 3000 experience ever could be.

Today, the reunited Pumpkins released a somewhat-underwhelming, effects-splattered video for their new single, "Tarantula." It features Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlain and the band’s two new members lost within a sea of alterna-somethings from central casting. The song itself has decent energy, though, and Corgan’s Hot Topic Jedi Angel Kimono is faintly appealing.
