    as a teen, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness was my bible.. but as I got older, and started exploring and picking apart music, this quickly found it's place at the top.. every track is heartfelt - which is usual of the Pumpkins.. I can't quite put my finger on what sets this one apart from their other work, but there's definitely something magical about this album.. I think that's it's completely under-appreciated, but that's probably due to the drama surrounding the Pumpkins at the time.. in any case, it's a perfect mix of lite, heavy, scared, sad, weird, and beautiful.. I highly recommend this album..

    I was obsessed with this in 10th grade and my closest celebrity encounter was when I shook billy corgan's hand during his concert promotion of this album.

Description

Japanese version of 2000 release & follow up to 'Adore' Produced by Billy Corgan and Flood, the same team that produced 'Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness'. Includes the bonus track 'Speed Kills'. 2000 release. Standard jewel case.With the doubters hovering round his band following the rock-is-dead pronouncement that preceded the flawed electronic dabblings of Adore, Machina finds Billy Corgan desperate to prove everyone, not least himself, wrong. On their fifth album, the Pumpkins attempt to reclaim the higher ground they dominated with the peerless Siamese Dream and the sprawling 28-track opus Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. As a result, they hit the ground running on Machina, exploding into life with "The Everlasting Gaze" and its firestorm of guitars and heavy metaphysical thunder. There are some quintessential Pumpkins moments here, notably "Stand Inside Your Love," which soars away on a spiraling guitar solo, and "Try, Try, Try," which taps into Corgan's ever-present melancholy. At 73 minutes long, Machina overstays its welcome, beginning to flag, ironically, at the self-aggrandizing "Heavy Metal Machine." No matter--the Pumpkins have made their point with brutal grace. --Mike Pattenden
