I guess this really means no second "Zwan" album.

The sun in the image could either be setting or rising and this ambiguity shows that there is still hope to turn things around.
As "faz" points out in the comments of Stereogum's item about this, the Statue of Liberty faces east, therefore the sun here is in the west and is setting.

(That is, it comes from "Smashing Pumpkins" instead of "The Smashing Pumpkins.")

1. Is Billy trying to recapture a little of that old "Cherub Rock" glory?
2. Is this a sideway reference to the oft-reported rumor about Siamese Dream, namely how Billy threw out all of James and D'Arcy's takes, and that the record really only features him and Jimmy?

Sometimes it's helpful if you actually click the links our dear Idolators provide us.

Someone Photoshop Corgan's leering enormo-dome in where the rising/setting sun is, Kilroy style!

I'd have my mom do it, but it's still naptime (2pm est).

I've been telling you, Smashing Pumpkins are aping KMFDM. That new cover seals it.
