This albums album starts off pretty strong to be fair, just loses me in the second half. First 6 songs are great! Absolutely adore Stand Inside Your Love, one of my favourites from these guys.

Dang, I didn't realise this had a 3.2.



This is on par with the first four Pumpkins releases imo. Every track rules

yeah, i'd even rank it above Gish at this point



@MyMentality make sure to check Machina II, some of their best songs on that one if you can get into the really raw production

I was trying to find Machina II on Spotify and it's nowhere to be seen. Think I'll have to check that one out on YouTube hopefully!

Yeah it's not on Spotify, neither is Zeitgeist - annoying that two of the band's studio albums aren't on streaming. I'm not actually sure if Machina II is available anywhere other than Youtube.

Did Machina II ever have a formal release? I remember pirating these guys' discog back in the day and the Machina II stuff was a mess of (seemingly) random folders and weird demos and shit

The first 4 songs on this are top-tier SP, then the album settles a bit, but takes off again towards the end, and the closing trio of With Every Light, Blue Skies… and Age of Innocence are absolutely fabulous.
