Over the years people have complained about this album being too bloated. So let's see YOU squeeze the best bits into a nice little package, eh?
i actually think some of the B-Sides were better than some of the tracks that made the album. like "Set The Ray To Jerry, Mouths Of Babes, Believe, Ugly, and The Aeroplane Flies High.
If any double album calls to be cut down to a single disc, it's this one.
Am I the only one that prefers Machina I to Mellon Collie? I think the first 7 or 8 songs are all very good to great.
And I have a copy of Machina II but it's pretty poor quality. Need to find a better one.
the only problem with Mellon Collie are the teenage angst lyrics
so basically the same problem as other Pumpkins albums
musically a great one though
Billy Corgan always annoyed the fuck out of me.
this is the reason why I could never get into SP...
That + They sucked live.
I saw them once at Roseland when SD came out and they f'ing rocked*, and then a year or two later somewhere else and they sucked so bad** that I really lost interest in them.
*I was quite unsober. I also thought Dave Matthews was amazing, and would have sworn, at the time, that the Spin Doctors were the greatest band ever due this whole unsober business I used to run with a lot. So there's that....
** They were headlining a festival and by the time they came on I was pretty sober.
*I had this same experience with Sonic Youth, I was so high that I thought they were awesome, when I actually listened to their CD sober I was like wtf??
**Lollapalooza? Thats the only time I saw them...
* I do think Sonic Youth is a much better live band than a studio band.
** I believe it was, yes. They sucked. And then he gave the most ridiculous speech about nothing. And on top of that, when they played Disarm he sang, "I used to be a little GIRL" and he really emphasized "girl" and it was just so fucking stupid. Ugh.

I have a hard time putting the Zwan album ahead of Adore, but that's really it.
