Mellon Collie & The Infinite SadnessMellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness
Some would argue the most excellent album of the ’90s, and as time passes, this stretch of contention becomes exceptionally valid in many cases. In a two-CD release, with hours of music, The Smashing Pumpkins evolved rock by combining it with imagination, art, and life, all within Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness. Tracks like “Zero” and “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” hit like a spike with James Iha’s string screams, while the heartfelt “Thirty-Three” and infamous “1979” wash down the album like running watercolors of orange and blue on a dark canvas. It seems fitting in October to revisit, especially if you find yourself feeling like the world is a vampire.
