Smashing Pumpkins have always walked that fine line between what is called "alternative" and what is "rock".  Smashing Pumpkins fans don't care about these labels and neither do I.  Only time will tell if anyone from any genre will embrace this or any song, but I'm going to go ahead and list it as one of my favorites of 2014.

The new track is called "Being Beige" and it features epic (sorry there is no other word) instrumentation. Also keep in mind that this album features Tommy Lee from Motley Crue on drums (and yes he BRINGS it).  Now, I've read comments on this YouTube video and like a few other people, the first fifteen seconds or so made me go WTF, but after that the instruments come in and just crush it. Give it a shot and judge for yourself if the band is "back" or not.
