Download The Latest "Smashing Pumpkins" Song For Free

The newest free track off the slowly forming new Smashing Pumpkins album Teargarden by Kaleidyscope dampens our hopes -- after a promising start -- that this endeavor would actually be an interesting experiment. "Widow Wake My Mind" only serves to remind us what's wrong with the current incarnation of the Pumpkins. Missing is the inventive and propulsive drumming of Jimmy Chamberlin's, replaced by a plodding beat that only serves the drag down this wisp of a song. Add to that canned orchestrations and laughably simplistic lyrics underpinned by melodies that make nursery rhymes seem intricate, and you end up with "Widow Wake My Mind."
Download it and tell us what you think. Hell, maybe we're way off the mark on this one, right?
