Instead of releasing an amazing album and a completely shitty album, The Smashing Pumpkins decided to release both of them together. There are some truly great tracks on this album like Muzzle, Porcelina, Thirty-Three and yes, 1979. But there are also some meh tracks like Cupid and Galapagos that would've been just fine to be B-sides. Then, there's the terrible, awful no good tracks like Butterfly Wings and Zero, Come Out @ Night, etc. Siamese Dream and Gish were so good, amazing even. But, this album seems to have targeted the LCD in music trends at the time and went for broke and it worked. They sold 11 million copies. But they also lost a fan with the release of Mellon Collie. Then, nearly 30 years later that feeling was solidified when I saw them tour with Janes Addiction (who were amazing) in '23. Corgan was pretty lame in his snuggie cape thing he was wearing. I really didn't think he was a freak until he tried to be one.
