    Get Siamese Dream, it's better than Mellon Collie.

    Great album, I have been meaning to buy it again for a few years now as only about half of the songs still play. The negative about falling in love with a record as an early teenager....

    An excellent album. My college roommate and I would put Mellon Collie on right before going to bed. Good album to drift off to dream to.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Mellon Collie is great..took me awhile to digest it but now it's me fave Smashing Pumpkin's release along with The Aeroplane Flies High boxset
    personally prefer disc 2.

    Coincidently, yesterday my friend and I were hanging out in his yard smoking some bud and he randomly picked this album out. We just sat there in amasement. I forgot how truly awesome this album is.

    Billy hardly has a traditional great singing voice but it just works, particulary with the Pumpkins material.
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    I agree, Siamese Dream is my favorite! Good mid-tempo rock with an edge is almost non-existant these days.

    one day. one day, they will tour again.

    Gish is good, really good; if you're high. If you're sober I don't think it's that great actually. I like the first four songs and couple in the last half when I'm sober. But Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie (except #12 on the blue disc - that stupid country-esque song) are awesome all the way through sober and high. But that's just me.
