Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

I was only thinking a few days ago about buying this again as my original resembles something dug out of a garbage dump and wouldn't get past the first track before fff-f-f-f-f-ffff-fuc-c-c-c-kin-ggggg up on playback.

 

So it seems the music Gods have decided to bestow upon us this leviathan!! Unfortunately this means instead of costing me a tenner it's gonna cost me an arm and a leg. Oh well, sounds tasty.

DIZZLE. SPEED. BLAST. LOVER. TOWERS OF RABBLE.

 

A MCIS-era version of Eye? A whole track dedicated to the instrumental middle 8 from Beautiful?

Oooh, I've always wanted a better mastered version of Tales of a Scorched Earth, that song rips but it's mastered terribly

See I've always LOVED the production on that. Corgan has done the whole "intense overmodulated metal" thing at other times too.

Damn, I knew something epic had to be coming for this... I only have the Siamese reissue so far but it's pretty sweet.

 

Sounds like it's going to cost quite a bit though :(

Does anyone else think the extras on these deluxe reissues tend to detract/distract from the focus of the original release, or in the best case, add nothing? I usually avoid them. And I've made exceptions to that rule, but to be honest half the time I end up regretting them. In fact the only two cases off the top of my head that I don't regret, were deluxe issues of brand new releases, not reissues per se.

 

Think I'll pass on the box set, but at least this has reminded me that I need a new copy of the original (mine became my sister's a long time ago).

see i don't know. you make a point, songs are usually unreleased for a reason (cause they suck). but it is smashing pumpkins, so it has to be good.

I would have figured this would include full versions of all or even most of the songs on that Pistachio Medley track.

I generally can't be bothered with unreleased demo/live/etc. bonus tracks on re-releases. Even for the bands I've been a hardcore fan of, I don't get all that excited about it. If at all.

There are at least three afaik.

the mastering and the price tag will be the deal-breaker for me but yeah this looks cool as fuck

Same as tbh. I think I might wait for the reviews that follow, that will dictate what amount of money I spend.

 

It's a class album for sure.
