What’s yours?
Personal favorite honestly is a toss-up between Adore and MATIS. MATIS is clearly the better album, but Adore was the album that I got first so I have more memories with it.
When Spin magazine did their "90 best albums of the 90s" they chose only one Pumpkins album for their list, and it wasn't Melancholy. Guess which one...Siamese Dream. If you listen to it, it's actually a more cohesive-sounding album that Melancholy. That said, the audaciousness of the double album and the massive success of it should really give it the nudge over SD on most lists, IMO.
sd is absolutely more cohesive. melancholy is all over the place, but in a really good way. and melancholy has some pretty blah songs imho. I still love so many songs on the album, but it's not one of those albums i'll listen to cover to cover.
I completely agree with this...sd is absolutely more cohesive. melancholy is all over the place, but in a really good way. and melancholy has some pretty blah songs imho. I still love so many songs on the album, but it's not one of those albums i'll listen to cover to cover.
I'm going Siamese Dream purely for that instant hit of adrenaline that Cherub Rock was. The sheer wall of fuzz on the guitars, and of course Jimmy Chamberlain is just an absolute monster on the drum kit, one of the finest drummers ever in my opinion. I still play the album regularly now, to me Soma is the very pinnacle of 90s alternative rock.
