Post Description

When Smashing Pumpkins first came out with the Bullet With Butterfly Wings video, 
I was 11 years old and my first thought was "Holy S*** this guy is mad!" 
From then on I had the impression that Smashing Pumpkins were supposed to be a heavy metal band. 
I used to only listen to the "heavy" songs and the ones that radio played. 
It was only in my last couple years that I rediscovered this CD and realized how much of a true masterpiece it is, 
and one of the greatest CD's to ever grace my CD player. 
Billy Corgan, whether you love him or hate him, is an AMAZING songwriter. 
His voice may not be that great, but this CD is overpouring with emotion. 
During the 2 and a half hours of this double set, you go through so many highs and lows, 
you are left breathless at the end. 
Smashing Pumpkins were something unique back in their day. 
This CD was released the year after Cobain died, and it is one of the few I can remember that WASN'T a Nirvana copycat. Smashing Pumpkins have always been a part of my musical life, and I think if you don't own this album already, 
you REALLY need to go out there and get yourself a copy.
