One week before its release date next week, the Smashing Pumpkins' new "album within an album" Oceania has been made available to stream in its entirety exclusively through iTunes.

Oceania is out on June 19th via EMI and the band's own Martha's Music imprint. Check out the full tracklisting after the jump.
