Smashing Pumpkins Adore

[peacefrompaul]

Got to see them on the melon collie tour ('96 I think). The start of the gig was fantastic. They were really at their peak.

Unfortunately there was crowd trouble where a girl died & obviously the show was stopped. Very sad!

Since then there was always a barrier at the front of the stage after the first 1000 or so people to stop ppl getting crushed.

Oh man, that would have been a crazy show. Mellon Collie is one of my favorites of all time.

Sad to hear someone DIED! Wow...

I still really love that album. Being a huge SP fan throughout most of my teenage years, this was one of my favorite records, and I never understood why people hated it so much.
They kinda lost me with Machina...I just felt it didn't live up to their earlier works.

Machina is pretty weak though has some good ones, I of the Mourning, the Everlasting Gaze. The worst album they made was Zeitgeist. That thing is completely worthless to me.

LOVE THIS ALBUM! one of those albums you can relax to, makes me think of travelling for some reason. 'Tear' is amazing, really dramatic and powerful.

Machina is BRILLIANT!! You clearly never got past the first 4 tracks...

IT HAS ONE OF THE BEST PUMPKINS SONGS ON IT - THIS TIME!!!

Glass and Ghost Children is just epic live omg..Blue Skies, With Every Light, Try Try Try, Wound, The Sacred and Profane

Zeitgeist is still really good, it sucks on the album like for example they destroyed Starz and I was totally shocked to hear it in that form (I went to tonnes a shows before they released Zeitgeist and knew all the songs in the live way).

Pumpkins are like my fave joint band with PJ and are really on par with em.

I'm not sure why, but Machina never worked for me. There are some good songs on it, but it's not masterpiece front to back like some of their other records. That, and it somehow never reached me on an emotional level, which is something I especially loved about Adore.

Adore is probably my favorite SP album, and to sheila has got to be the most powerful acoustic song ever written.

Its also a pretty depressing album, and bittersweet for me. It came out when I was on vacation in south carolina with my family and my sister was a big SP fan. So she was playing the album alot during the vacation..... and then a hurricane came and we had to leave early ruining our vacation.

Oh how sad for you - your vacation was ruined. That was likely one of the many hurricanes to fuck up my house!

oh im sorry.....
