It looks like the whiteboard photo was real.

Wheeee!
I just read the billboard article.
It's funny how the smallest hint of what the album sounds like can make me so happy!
If I weren't at work, I'd be dancing!

this makes me depressed

This is some truly beautiful news. Only a few more weeks until the single is released! Any guesses on which one will be the first single? I'm hoping for Tarantula.

I hope this is a joke...I mean Star"Z"???? United States? Come On (Let's Go)? I think Billboard got these titles mixed up with the new Marilyn Manson album.

What makes you so sure that a single will be released in a few weeks? I mean we are all hoping for that, but I don't want to get those hopes up too high, you know?

wow. im supah excited now.

7 shades of black sounds interesting.

now i just hope they release the album art now. thatl be tight.

Eh, I guess the whiteboard was real.

Well I'm pretty syched now. From the description it seems like Zeitgeist is gonna sound like a mix of all previous pumpkin's work.

I'm also happy because the album only has 12 tracks, so they're not trying to cram as much material as they can onto the album.

Maybe Billy has gone all country right wing conservative patriot! Nah, alot of the titles sound interesting, but there are some equally generic titles. Maybe it's gonna be like Year Zero, everybody thought it was a really strange name, but it really made sense when the album came out. And, there was Strayz on TFE.

awesome doomsday clock i like that title!!!!!!

Awesome! Can't wait to hear them, July 7 isn't extremely far away but it seems like it'll be ages before it's out. I'm wondering which one will be released as the single.

I am also hoping for Tarantula. If not, Doomsday Clock would be fantastic! Obviously I haven't heard any of the material, but something about the title makes me think Doomsday will be the first single. Why? I really have no clue...

im getting visual pictures in my mind were going to get a video soon too, and they always take pride in there music videos, doomsday clock sounds and has a epic video feel to it.

Here is the article from billboard in case anyone missed it:

"The Smashing Pumpkins have settled on the track list for "Zeitgeist," the first album since 2000. As previously reported, the album is due July 7 via Martha's Music/Reprise. A first single has yet to be specified, nor has the makeup of the band beyond original frontman Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin.

"Is everyone afraid? Has everyone changed?," Corgan sings on opener "Doomsday Clock," a big, loud rocker in the vein of "Geek U.S.A." from "Siamese Dream." The set is frontloaded with songs of this ilk, hearkening back to the grunge era with detuned guitars and pounding drums on tracks such as "Tarantula," "Orchid" and "7 Shades of Black."

A more nuanced, less abrasive approach is evident on "Never Lost," which has vibraphone and organ tucked into the mix, while "For God and Country" is a bass-driven tune with shades of Depeche Mode-style synth-rock. The album closes with the mostly synth-powered "Pomp and Circumstance," as Corgan's multi-tracked vocals take on an angelic effect.

The band will play its first show in six-and-a-half years May 22 at the Grand Rex Theatre in Paris. European festival appearances will follow through mid-June; the Pumpkins' first U.S. show will be July 7 at the Live Earth concert in East Rutherford, N.J."

I am now more excited than ever, this is going to be amazing i can just tell.

How could that not make you want to break down and cry with happyness?

I know! To be honest, I pretty much did that when I first read about it. I can't remember the last time I was this excited about music! Oh wait, yes I can... February of 2000.

*I want all Pumpkins music to play at my funeral...

Im going to rip my fucking toe nails out. I cant take it anymore. I NEED A SINGLE!!!

I know, man... I think we ALL feel your pain. But being on this website has really helped over the past year...

Real, true Pumpkin fans are the best fucking music fans there are...

I read somewhere on Netphoria that the single will be coming out in mid-May or so. I can't remember if it was official or just speculation, but I'm thinking that they should have something around the time they play their first show.

And "Doomsday Clock" reminds me of the old film Dr. Strangelove. Great movie.

random note, hey zerohero, i have that smae poster behind you on my wall behind me

The more i wait for the album the more impact it will have on me im sure, so im happy to wait untill billy is ready. Having said that i am just about gnawing off my own hand with all this mystery.
