HMV Review

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. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

    summer sonic 2010行ってきました。もちろんSmashing Pumpkins目当てです。最高でしたよ。あとPixiesもやばかったですね。HoleのTシャツ着ていったらビリーコーガンににらまれましたwこのアルバムはSmashing Pumpkinsの代表作と言っても過言ではないくらい有名なのではないでしょうか。けど、20回くらい聞かないとよさがわからないと思いますので、30回は聞いてからレビューをお書き下さい。

    スマパンが凝縮された1枚かな。 良いよ、本当に良い。 スマパンを聴いたことが無いのなら、入門にお勧めかもしれないね。
