AMG Review of Swoon
Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music GuideSilversun Pickups hold Smashing Pumpkins as close to their heart as, say, Mudhoney hold the Stooges -- perhaps even more, as Silversun Pickups (whose very initials are the same as the Pumpkins) act as though nothing happened between Siamese Dream in 1993 and Swoon in 2009. Try as they may, the bandmembers cannot deny the passage of time, or their geography, for Silversun Pickups are creatures of their time and place, just as their idols were. At their core, the Pumpkins were Midwestern misfits, something that was evident in their very appearance and sound. In contrast, Silversun Pickups shimmer sweetly on the surface, a sound suited for Los Angeles. Silversun Pickups avoid unpleasantness on Swoon, wallowing in washes of sound derived equally from guitars and whispered vocals and glimmering in the sunlight. It's pleasant enough, particularly when the breathy vocals fade away to leave behind cascades of guitars, but still remains an approximation of Smashing Pumpkins at their peak.

If you can envision the issue inherent in removing the "Spaceman, I always wanted you to go. . . " section from Babylon Zoo or the "lost and loaded. . . " section from Silversun Pickups' most recognised hit "Lazy Eye" you may see the problem with "Swoon" rather swiftly.

I honestly set myself up for utter dissappointment with Silversun Pickup’s sophmore release Swoon, but have found this recording to be in contention for one of the most listened to albums of this year. It’s a great rock record dense with orchestration, and the question of how they are going to fill in those spaces [...]
