Comment:
I was a HUGE Pumpkins fan back in the mid to late 90s... so recently I pulled out Mellon Collie. In my opinion, it works well as a grand statement because the lyrics are a little over the top anyway. But what if I wanted to cut it down to the essentials? This is my effort to cut a good double album in half and come out with something decent. Let me know if you disagree with anything.Feedback:
i've wanted to cut the white album down to one disc for a while...you sort of read my mind!
You cut through a lot of the filler. Muzzle is a great tune, plus the Mellon Collie instrumental opener is great.
I agree about cutting through the filler - Though I'm not sure I like the exclusion of such important Mellon Collie tracks as "Porcelina Of The Vast Oceans," "Jellybelly" and "Here Is No Why." Oh well . . . A good mix, otherwise.
The idea of 14 songs came from a conversation I had with some friends over the ideal length of a recording. I've always thought Porcelina was way too long, with the long washy intro... but it is a solid tune after that. I really like the effect of going from the opener to the feedback of "Tales". "Love" probably shouldn't be on there, but it's a personal favorite. A lot of the filler was quiet stuff, and I felt like some of the heavier songs had to go too to keep it a little balanced... otherwise, thirty-three would sound too out of place... I'd love to see other people's thoughts, because I'm not a typical Pumpkins fan... e-mail me your corrections, heh.
