Negative Positive
Title: 1/4 Great, 3/4 utter trash.
Review: To be honest, for over a year I thought this was one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Looking back, however, I only really listened to about 9 songs. There is an awful lot of filler (and even more with the reprehensible box "The Aeroplane Flies High) and Corgan only exhibits brief flashes of genious in such songs as "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" and "To Forgive." The great songs (mostly the ones issued as singles) are very outweighed by filler, or pretentious cheese. Most of the second disc is a waste, track 2 is one of the best Pumpkins songs ever but most of the disc will rarely be read by your laser. If you wanna shell out this amount of cash for a few great songs, more power to you. But there are many better albums out there, "Mellon Collie" is by no means essential.
