I had been so starved for something new to listen to, and then within two weeks I get new Metric, new Fiona Apple, and new Smashing Pumpkins. The universe is being very kind to me musically!
I think Crave Online sums up the sound of the album quite well:
I love that it sounds like a rock album. It's nothing like Siamese Dream but it's very much Smashing Pumpkins. It lacks that gloss that (for me) ruined Zeitgeist.

Oceania is the first time in a long while I’ve heard the Smashing Pumpkins sound like the band they used to be. I’m not living in nostalgia by saying that, I’m simply referring to the era when Corgan wrote beautifully intricate songs of struggling melancholy and romanticism that held a subtext of anger and disappointment. Corgan injects soul into Oceania and uses his trademark swirling guitar dance to hold that soul up.
