| 12/11/24 |  ATUM w/ JUSTIN from THE DEEP DIVE | Our capsule has returned from space exile and our AI carnival robot infused with our pure essence is up and running! That’s right, the ‘kast is back with an album deep dive! On May 5th, 2023, The Smashing Pumpkins released a sprawling 33-song rock opera entitled “ATUM”; The third concept album in the trilogy of Zero (Mellon Collie) / Glass (Machina) and Shiny (current). Songs debuted weekly for 7 months leading up to the album’s release on Billy Corgan’s “Thirty-three Podcast” along with commentary explaining the epic rock opera story. Justin from The Deep Dive Channel (from our CYR episode) returns to guest-host and to talk ATUM track by track in glorious nerdy Pumpkin detail. In this almost 5 hour episode (we had a lot to say), we discuss the deep layers and easter eggs in the production, supposed “cancel culture”, the ethics of AI, ATUM’s connection to Corgan’s solo albums, Neil Young and Metallica nods, glorious chorus soaked guitars and bass and making a genuine and enthusiastic case for “Hooray!” Like many Pumpkins albums, it’s an audio treat that deserves a proper listen front to back with a good pair of headphones. “It ain’t right” if you skip this episode of The Smashing Pumkast!
