I would agree, but have you seen the Aeroplane Flies High box set? All those songs came from the Mellon Collie sessions. I think he was going for relevance to the story over quality, honestly. There were so many amazing songs he left off just because it didn't fit all that well with his concept. Set the Ray to Jerry, Aeroplane Flies High, Marquis In Spades, Mouths of Babes...all great songs.
