8 out of 10 - "...Corgan almost always makes his guitar sound like a monolithic classic-rock jukebox, ablaze with neon and dripping blood...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...The second half lurches to life: it's that old Smashing Pumpkins sound, and it sounds even better than you remember it...", "...MARY STAR OF THE SEA has a sharp zestiness and power that have been missing from Corgan's work for some time..." - Rating: A-, Ranked #6 in Entertainment Weekly's 2003 "Records of the Year", 4 stars out of 5 - "...The songs keeps one boot in heavy metal but mostly get straight to the point while piling on the hooks and harmonies...", Ranked #22 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2003" - "Corgan bolted a Byrdsian jangle and New Order bass onto the Smashing Pumpkins' goth techno rock and came up with songs full of buoyant optimism.", 3 Stars Out of 5-"...It Does Mark Corgan's Return to Form. Pumpkins Fans Will Feel Blessed..."
