Title: What HYPE!! And who told that guy that he could sing ????
Review: With vocals less melodic than the quality of a screeching, ... cat this otherwise decent composition is ruined. Add to that a lack of elementary recording engineering finesse, mixed appearantly without the aid of speakers or headphones. Most (not all) of Mellon Collie is a pain to listen to due to the severe lack of instrument definition (and yes, those skull-driiling vocals), much of the CD sounding more as though it were recorded all on one track, in one take, on a very disagreeable day, in a VERY hot garage, with one bad microphone. Now, if you want to hear The Smashing Pumpkins on better days (and apparently more capable sound engineers) you'd be better off listening to their CDs "Adore"; "Gish", and "Pisces Iscariot".
