[edit] Officially sixth album.

The Smashing Pumpkins website, when they reformed, has stated that they had been working on new material since their 1999 album, indicating the first Machina album. The Smashing Pumpkins Myspace album announcement also stated that it was their sixth album. Although dedicated SP fans wish to canonize the second Machina album in its discography, leave it out (but leave a footnote explaining it) unless the SP team decide to officially state/revise it themselves.

It's the seventh album for now until we can confirm Billy Corgan didn't just forget one. Allmusic has it listed as an official album, and reviewers treat it like one. WesleyDodds 03:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I believe that Corgan and the Pumpkins called MACHINA II their sixth album. Matt "AgentA" 20:52, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Corgan definitely called Zeitgeist their sixth album. Pisces Iscariot and Machina II are compilations of outtakes and b-sides from other albums and should not be included with the other studio albums.

[edit] what the hell is up with the ogg?

it's just some guy saying zeitgeist. sounds like neither billy nor jimmy. what the fuck --Flvg94 23:23, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

It's not supposed to be a quote from Billy or Jimmy or anything. That is a sound that was taken from the Zeitgeist article, just to give people the proper pronounciation of the word. I threw it in there, but once the album nears the release date, I don't think it will be necessary. It's not enourmously difficult. --Reaper X 01:05, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] If it's just Billy and Jimmy...

They were already reunited in Zwan! This makes it, so far, as much of a Zwan reunion as it is a Smashing Pumpkins reunion...--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 08:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree some mention of this should be added. Also we could add something about the current status of the "missing" members pherhaps? Like what other projects they are involved in right now that are of more importance than the Pumpkins. Matt "AgentA" 20:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

The music Billy wrote in Zwan was completely different from the music he wrote as a member of the Smashing Pumpkins. Furthermore if people are curious about what D'arcy & James are up to they can go to their articles or the main SP article.69.218.199.100 08:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. The difference now is that they are reuniting under the name "Smashing Pumpkins", so it's a reunion, while Zwan was simply a side-project/super-group. Brandt Luke Zorn 06:10, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
