Smashing Pumpkins Band • Page 41

United States and That's The Way are top tier.
Also the Zeitgeist era brought the greatest live version of Shame.
So I guess I have SOME good things to say about that cycle lol.

 

"That's the Way" acoustic live is so much better than that mess of a production on the album

 

Chamberlain is a machine on United States! I'd love to hear isolated drum tracks from that track

oh man, very excited. his description of it sounds killer

 

As she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her

Came in my head this morning.

 

Crazy repetitive, but its one of my favorite moments on Machina!

 

This will always be my favourite track on Machina (and in my top 5 sp tracks). That re-issue can’t come soon enough though, I’ve got a machina picture disc but as it’s a promo AOI is missing on it

 

Welp, looks like I'm gonna have to put Machina on today

 

never met someone who agrees with my correct opinion that "age of innocence" is the best track on machina (ok barring "i of the mourning")

 

I agree with that! Hesitation no! Age of innocence yes!

 

The correct best song is Stand Inside Your Love. Also I would have accepted Try, Try Try or With Every Light.

But I really really love Age of Innocence too

 

fucking neeeeeeed this

 

some great songs on this album. I agree with I of the Mourning, Heavy Metal Machine, and Try, Try Try. Maybe Stand Inside your Love has grown on me...also, Everlasting Gaze kicks ass too! And...The Crying Tree of Mercury

 

No one's mentioned This Time, what the hell!

 

The chorus on The Everlasting Gaze is sublime.

 

When the guitars come back in the bridge, melting my face off whew

 

Gave it a full...er, almost full (didn't finish the last few tracks) tonight! I really like this album!

 

it brings me no pleasure to enjoy this band as much as i do

 

hmmm

 

Agree with all the above and I also think With Every Light is criminally overlooked in their catalog. I was at the first show of the 2007 Asheville Residency (the first show played on US soil since the final Chicago shows!) and they closed the final encore with it. I don't think there could have been a better show closer that night.

 

I finished the album to ight starti g with a repeat of The Crying tree of Mercury. I believe With Every Light is the Pink Floyd sounding one?? Or wait, is that Blue Skies?? I forget. I like Age of Innocence.

 

Random thought of the day: Dorian is a really cool track and doesn’t get near enough appreciation

 

I miss this era so much. I loved the way they would arrange these little jams in the middle of their songs. I loved every second of it.
