Smashing Pumpkins - ATUM: A Rock Opera in Three Acts [4LP]

The Smashing Pumpkins twelfth studio album; a three-act rock opera album titled ATUM (pronounced Autumn). ATUM will feature 33-tracks, and is the sequel to 1995's Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and 2000's Machina/Machine of God. ATUM was written and produced by Billy Corgan over the past 4 years. ATUM is a rock opera presented in three acts by inimitable American rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. The album tells an epic interplanetary story set in the not-too-distant future, though the songs themselves respectively stand on their own in the Pumpkins pantheon. This is the final installment in a concept album trilogy, which began with 1995's Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness and then continued with 2000's Machina/The Machines of God. The album features three original members of the band-William Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin-as well as longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder. Corgan had been developing the idea for the rock opera for years, and the pandemic gave him the time off the road to meticulously complete it in the grandiose way he had intended. - Disc 1 -1 Atum2 Butterfly Suite3 The Good in Goodbye4 Embracer5 With Ado I Do6 Hooligan7 Steps in Time8 Where Rain Must Fall9 Beyond the Vale10 Hooray!11 The Gold Mask - Disc 2 -1 Avalanche2 Empires3 Neophyte4 Moss5 Night Waves6 Space Age7 Every Morning8 To the Grays9 Beguiled10 The Culling11 Springtimes - Disc 3 -1 Sojourner2 That Which Animates the Spirit3 The Canary Trainer4 Pacer5 In Lieu of Failure6 Cenotaph7 Harmageddon8 Fireflies9 Intergalactic10 Spellbinding11 Of Wings
