It's my favourite too, but I still love Mellon Collie.

The pumpkins are probably the greatest band from Chicago so many great songs it's hard to find a favorite.

Or Jesus Lizard, Jim O'Rourke, Royal Trux, Gil Scott-Heron, Naked Raygun, US Maple, Air, and Isotope 217. (Yeah, those aren't all bands. Get over it)

Steve Albini period the end.

Most albums that long are chock full of filler, just look at Use You Illusion or Metallica's Loaded/Reloaded.

Some bands just don't know when and how to edit themselves.

Yeah, I'll say Siamese Dream was a lot better than this one. Mayonnaise was my fav. tune off of that one, they were all pretty good. I think 33 of Collie was decent. Jimmy Chamberlain 1 of my fav. drummers. Listen to the drumming on Siamese Dream. It rocks the Casbah!

Hmmm, I bought this one within a week of release. It is still sitting on a shelf collecting dust. It might have gotten one full listen over the years.
