Title: Top ten desert island disc
Product review: Let me preface this glowing review by saying that I have never been much of a Smashing Pumpkins fan. Before buying this, the only disc I owned was the brilliant Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. I was luke warm to the rest of their productions, but this collection of hits, b-sides, and rarities has made me a believer. Every track on both cds has that rare quality of being artistic, edifying, powerful, and listenable all at the same time. There are few bands who can be so original and radio-friendly as the Pumpkins. True, there are some great songs absent on this--thirty-three, ordinary, bodies, spaceboy--but there is more good material here than we're entitled for such an inexpensive price. There are some great new or rare songs--untitled, set the ray to jerry, because you are, and waiting--that make this a very comprehensive, diverse, qualitative compilation. It will be among the best discs in your collection.
