Smashing Pumpkins' Oceania finally to be released

Smashing Pumpkins have finally revealed release date for their anticipated record Oceania. It will be released on July 19. The band had been silent for almost year after they announced they will release new record. This announcement was done in April last year.

The band signed contract with EMI label. Mike Harris, EMI’s GM said:

"We are thrilled to extend the long-term partnership between The Smashing Pumpkins and EMI with the release of Oceania. Everybody at EMI Label Services is looking forward to working closely with Billy and the band to help them deliver their vision and their music to fans around the world."

I think that this record will decide whether Smashing Pumpkins can still make a good music or not because lately it didn't seem so. I actually think this album will finally bury Corgan and his band.
