Billy Corgan still believes

The Smashing Pumpkins are recording again for the first time since their 1999 breakup. This, believe it or not, was SEVEN years ago. Am I the only one who does not feel like 1999 was SEVEN years ago? Then again, the world in 1999 was entirely different than it is now. I am curious to see how the new album will reflect that. Will it be political? Will it be more commercial? Who will the new guitarist and bassist be? I'd like to say that I'm excited about the prospect of a new 'Pumpkins album, but part of me feels like I am not nearly angsty enough to listen to them anymore, resurrected or not.
