Smashing Pumpkins - Machina / The Machines Of God

Originally released in 2000, Machina / The Machines of God marked a bold creative turn for Smashing Pumpkins, blending the band’s signature alternative rock power with sweeping electronics, heavy textures, and a dense, almost industrial atmosphere. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, this definitive reissue has been newly remastered and pressed on 180g vinyl, offering fans a chance to experience the album with renewed depth and clarity.

Featuring standout tracks such as “The Everlasting Gaze,” “Stand Inside Your Love,” and “Try, Try, Try,” the record finds Billy Corgan and company exploring themes of transformation, spirituality, and dissolution—set against some of the heaviest and most ambitious soundscapes of their career. Often described as the final chapter of the Pumpkins’ original era, Machina captures the band at a crossroads, equal parts ferocious and introspective.

A cult favorite among fans and an essential piece of the Pumpkins’ discography, this anniversary edition reintroduces Machina as a vital, immersive listen—now with the sonic detail it always deserved.
