Data Insight

Twelve tracks, all Corgan's, and the first record without James Iha or D'arcy Wretzky on it in any capacity. Roy Thomas Baker produced. Seven years off changed the personnel and left the writing exactly where it was.

Zeitgeist came out on Reprise and Martha's Music in July 2007, the first album after the reunion, with only Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin from the old lineup. It sold 426,000 in the United States and is certified gold.
