Negative Positive
Title: Physical Graffiti meets Substance 1987.
Review: I must admit, I was one of the ones who originally dismissed Smashing Pumpkins as another "Seattle" band, only to find at the time of this album's release that they hail from Chicago (bassist D'arcy Wretzky actually hails from Michigan). Upon learning this, I decided to give them a second chance, and to this day, I am ecstatic that I did. This is the best American double-album of the nineties and the best two-disc set since Springsteen's The River. Among the indisposables are "Tonight, Tonight", "Love", "Zero" and "Bullet With Butterfly Wings". The rest of the tunes? They're just merely great. Really, this album will convince you that rock still has a great future...no matter what Billy says. This is the most fearsome foursome in rock since The Who---and that is saying a ton.
Is the review positive or negative?
