Sure, there are a few weak tunes that sound like Smashing Pumpkins karaoke, and Zeitgeist's tricks aren't quite as revolutionary today as they were when SP debuted — much the way other grunge-era bands sound far less dangerous today than they did in 1993. But fans of a certain age (20- and 30-somethings mostly) who were inundated with Pumpkins music in high school and college will find Zeitgeist familiar, if not nostalgia-inducing.
