The words are in, The Smashing Pumpkins are in the recording studio to work on their comeback album. Roy Thomas Baker, who had produced on Queen’s A Night at the Opera (with the classic Bohemian Rhapsody) and bands like The Cars, Cheap Tricks, Journey and more recently The Darkness, will now have the Pumpkins on his impressive resume. Legendary stuff.

The reunited Pumpkins is still a 2-man band, with frontman Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. There have been no news of James Iha and D’arcy rejoining the band, though Melissa Auf der Maur has offered her bass work if needed.

The Pumpkins will be managed by Irving Azoff, who also works with Justin Timberlake (WTF??), Christina Aguilera (WTF???) and the Eagles. There is no release date or an album name out yet.
