Title: Go for 'Siamese Dream' instead
Product review: It's a matter of personal taste with the Pumpkins, because all their albums have a distinct sound, but if you ask me they set an impossibly high standard with Siamese Dream, and the rest of this collection just sounds weak compared to Cherub Rock. A lot of it has to do with the strange turn for the alternative/goth/ antirock that defined Adore, that I find completely unappealing. I also think a few of the best songs from Dream, like Geek USA and Mayonaise, should definitely have been included here. What if Green Day only put one song from Dookie on their greatest hits? What if Pearl Jam's didn't have Jeremy or Alive? Would you still buy them?'Rotten Apples' still provides a good anthology of the Pumpkins from all their eras, but it's debatable whether any of the songs from Mellon Collie forward are as good as the weakest song on Siamese Dream.
