Machina/The Machines of God. Smashing Pumpkins. Released February 29, 2000. Machina/The Machines of God Tracklist. 1. The Everlasting Gaze Lyrics. While many still refer to Adore as the most underrated Pumpkins album, Machina is by far the most misunderstood. Years later, publications like Pop Matters would call the album criminally underrated. Released in February of 2000, Machina marked the return of drummer Jimmy Chamberlin and the departure of bassist D'arcy Wretzky. It also marked a departure from the synth driven progressive sound that held throughout their previous album, Adore. It was marketed as a return to form album, but as most fans have realized, there is no form to return to when it comes to this band

Any record called MACHINA/The Machines of God couldn't be a pure rock album. As it happens, MACHINA is a lot progressive. Though it's damn near impossible to figure out the story line, the album plays like a concept album, with each track floating into the next, winding up with an album artier than Adore. That's not a liability, since the Smashing Pumpkins were always arty, yet Billy Corgan was very clever in camouflaging his artiness

The Smashing Pumpkins have pretty much no chemistry with each other musically on this album. Chamberlain's blasts of jazz-infused manic drumming is non-existent, they might as well just have kept the drum machine from Adore. Iha and Corgan's usually vibrant partnership of super charged guitar work is gone, now lifeless and overproduced. As for bassist D'Arcy Wretzky, who mysteriously left the band during the recording of Machina: The Machines of God, her basslines were never interesting in the first place. At 73 minutes, Machina: The Machines of God definitely starts to tire out at around half way. A lot of crap could've been cut, to put it simply. Asinine songs like Heavy Metal Machine and the Inploding Voice lack substance and are dragged on for what seems like an eternity.

The Pumpkins' fascination with sepia tones, parchment, and God kills whatever joy might otherwise be gleaned from their fifth LP. Filling the entire capacity of a compact disc, MACHINA simply blabbers on far too long. The problems with Billy Corgan are conveniently packaged in the track "I of the Mourning" (note the fucking "u").
