Rating - 4 Stars

How the hell 4 misfits from Illinois who had just broken through into mainstream grunge with Siamese Dream in 93, would two years later have the balls to put together a 28 song double album masterpiece is mind-blowing. And they did it with rave reviews. Billy (William) Corgan confirmed for many of us that he is a master (somewhat query) songwriter. I'll counter that comment for now with a very brief highlight on 'We Only Come Out At night' which is a quite horrible example of when Billy waning himself through a song, would send rats down a sewer hole. I'm being harsh in picking out one song out of the 28 that grates. The experience before and after should still keep a smile on your face. We have classics of 'Tonight, Tonight' Which includes all the orchestra loadings possible, down to 2 tracks later we have a dark, heavy song like 'Zero'. I could go on. I return to my first couple of sentences - we have seen a maturity of a band we were hoping to take that next step. I just wasn't expecting a masterpiece such as this at the time.
