Oceania by The Smashing Pumpkins
Oceania is an album by The Smashing Pumpkins, released in 2012. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Celestials”, on 6 lists with a best position of #39.
Oceania, the Smashing Pumpkins' eighth studio album, arrived on June 19, 2012, with Billy Corgan producing alongside Bjorn Thorsrud. It was meant as one piece of Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, Corgan's sprawling 34-track project, but it plays like a proper album, and a generous one: layered guitars, synth shimmer, big riffs melting into dreamy drift.
By now the Pumpkins were Corgan and a rotating cast. This was the first studio album for guitarist Jeff Schroeder and the only one with bassist Nicole Fiorentino and drummer Mike Byrne, who had taken over from Jimmy Chamberlin. The reviews were kind, and it debuted at number four on the Billboard 200. "Panopticon" and "The Celestials" were the songs that reached the countdowns, and a live run-through of the whole thing, Oceania: Live in NYC, followed in 2013.
