It's not technically "recent rock". It's not like the crap pop-rock put through your radio. And they have also been said to be "the" band of the 90s. I am all "interested' while being excited, because billy corgan was not as good solo so I hope their new stuff doesn't sound like his solo project.

the lead singer is bald, is he not? Let's see him re-unite himself with his hair
haha, I definetly think that billy corgan looked better with hair. I dunno if he went bald or if he shaved it though....

It is old news that they were re-uniting. It is new news that billy is entering the studio very soon, if not already. I kinda hope that the band has tied up some ends and forgiven each other, because I would love to see the original lineup.
