what a complete and utter pile of freakin noise

This album ages exceptionally well.. released the day after tomorrow 13 years ago, if I remember correctly (23/5/2000). At first I disliked it for the noisiness (which also sadly permeated the zwan album) caused by relentless level compression, but in recent years I find myself appreciating the sounds and arrangements that hide behind the noise. Also, Speed Kills is one of their best B-sides, go check it out!

One of the greatest voices in modern music!

I always thought this band was called 'Smashing Pumkins', not 'The Smashing Pumkins'.

Not that I care either way, but it makes a big difference in the meaning of the band name... Either someone is smashing pumpkins, as in fruit ninja, or we're talking about a bunch of pumpkins that are just smashing...

I totally understand not liking the SP in general and Billy's voice and ego in particular.

I totally don't understand, however, how much vitriol this particular (IMO godlike) piece of music attracts.

Solo Billy - not really SP, IMHO...

One of the few or maybe the only SP song I could listen to over and over. An acquired taste. Play it again, Bill.

Having overheard a few of their big hits, I never became a Smashing Pumpkins fan, so I didn't go out of my way to crank them out, they sounded like droning alt grungers, and I couldn't get a fix on Corgan. But this cut is, well, smashing. I'd iTune it.

The idea that we fill a phone booth filled with water and Billy Corgan - while brilliant and undoubtedly effective - won't work on account of they don't make phone booths anymore. The thought was there, however. Imagine how much bad stuff could be avoided in the future if only...

I missed the whole Smashing Pumpkins thing when it happened. Oh well. So heard this for the first time a couple weeks ago on RP.

This is dripping with intensity. I love it. You never know, do you?

Sounds like all there other songs.

Innovators at first and now its all formulaic.

I really like Billy Corgan, but still I readily and happily admit that Jimmy Chamberlin is a total f**king badass on the drums!


Chamberlin is (was?) a wild beast on drums with a style and energy that was his alone. The one album that Smashing Pumpkins made without him ("Adore," I think) was interesting, but overall it lacked energy in Jimmy's absence. It reminded me of when R.E.M. recorded "Up" — it was interesting in tone and feel, but the lack of Bill Berry was definitely felt.

A bit biting for those who dig the "usual".

This is still an overlooked masterpiece of an album, and song of course.
