They will still keep selling records. Billy Corgan already made the statement on Ethel that the band was committed to staying together because fans felt disappointed that there was an end to the band at one point.
If you like the Pumpkins then you bought the album. It's never going to be like "Gish" or "Siamese Dream" because music has changed, fans have changed and the band has changed. People said they were disappointed with "Mellon Collie" because it wasn't another "Siamese Dream" yet the album has some of their best songs on there to date.
I heard a lot of criticism about the Pumpkins since I first heard them but I'm still into them. If anything, "Zeitgeist" renewed my love for Corgan. A lot of the new songs are damn good and I give Corgan and Chamberlain credit for sticking with this despite any bad criticism.
But it's all for good and as long as they stick around and promise more albums and more concerts in the future, we're all fine with that.
