About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

the Smashing Pumpkins didn't shy away from making the follow-up to the grand, intricate Siamese Dream. With Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, the band turns in one of the most ambitious and indulgent albums in rock history. Lasting over two hours and featuring 28 songs, the album is certainly a challenging listen. To Billy Corgan's credit, it's a rewarding and compelling one as well. Although the artistic scope of the album is immense, the Smashing Pumpkins flourish in such an overblown setting. Corgan's songwriting has never been limited by conventional notions of what a rock band can do, even if it is clear that he draws inspiration from scores of '70s heavy metal and art rock bands. Instead of copying the sounds of his favorite records, he expands on their ideas, making the gentle piano of the title track and the sighing "1979" sit comfortably against the volcanic rush of "Jellybelly" and "Zero." In between those two extremes lies an array of musical styles, drawing from rock, pop, folk, and classical. Some of the songs don't work as well as others, but Mellon Collie never seems to drag. Occasionally they fall flat on their face, but over the entire album, the Smashing Pumpkins prove that they are one of the more creative and consistent bands of the '90s.

November 26, 2004: well, i'm a big fan of r&b and hip-hop music. listening to rock or alt. music isnt really me. so for me to like something out of the norm, it has to be *really* good to get my attention. there are few groups that got my attention like nirvana and red hot chili peppers. there was something about smashing pumpkins that captured me. i really loved the creativity of it. it has such a wide variety. i loved the mellowness and beauty of tonight tonight, galapogos, porcelina of the vast oceans, take me down, beautiful and farewell and goodnight. i felt this cd represents what smashing pumpkins is-an amazing group. i hoped you liked it as much as i did!

One of the most beautiful albums of all time!!!by Anonymous

November 04, 2004: This album was so beautiful, I thought I was gonna cry. The opening song "Melon Collie and the Infinitie Sadness", is just so gorgeous, and so is "Tonight, Tonight." The album is composed of soft songs, like Tonight Tonight, and some hardcore songs,like Jellybelly and Zero. If you want an album that is half hardcore, and half slow but beautiful, then Mellon Collie and the Infinitie Sadness, by The Smashing Pumpkins is definately what your looking for.
