    Weird...I just listened to this album today.

    Hummer had me a little emotional...the ending to that song is just unbelievably beautiful.

    Amazing album. Second favorite of all time by any band. Cherub Rock is the greatest opening track I've ever heard.

    One of my favourite albums ever - it shows what a huge talent Billy Corgan can be.

    for sure.

    my friend, who is a musician, can't get past billy's 'nasaly' voice

    it's a shame because this album has some amazing guitar work and of course wicked drumming
    ..and you will come to find that we are all one mind, capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable

    I think Soma might be one of the best songs ever written.

    by far the best the pumpkins have offered when trying 'to connect'.

    years since ed wrote like this. years since billy did.

    doesn't matter where you are in life...if you absorb this song, it touches you.

    I seen them here in Sydney about a month ago at the V festival and their concert and i have found a newly renewed love for the pumpkins. One of the best concerts ive seen in a very very long time, if not the best

    This album kicks so much ass. Every song is perfect, which isn't something you get to say too often. This CD is everything I loved about Smashing Pumpkins and it's too bad they never topped it, but I'm not sure how they could have.

    The only SP's album other than Adore that I can enjoy all the way through.

    Saw them on Siamese Dream at the Astoria back in 93, maybe 94, was the most frenetic show I'd attended up until that point. Couple years later again at the Wembley arena supporting Melancholy and the magic had gone, partly due to the size of the venue but also down to new material. How it felt for me anyway.

    ah, the Milton Keynes fellow, haven't noticed you around here in a while.....

    yeah, would've been early-ish 94, remember it was a friday night. The only show where I ever 'went over the top' in a moshpit, think Corgan still had hair back then.
