Alright, but mine won't be done for at least a week. If you want to do one before then, feel free.

the stores dont stock this album here, and when i asked the store owner why, he said "Machina is of those weird ones". But apparently its good, im going to have to order it i guess. Everlasting gaze is awesome, i heardit on rotton apples. Simese dream is still the best album ever.

yeah it is.

everyone has different opinions about CDs, its a pity that anything would be out of stock because of one person's opinions.

[QUOTE=SubtleDagger]"The Everlasting Gaze" is less than "nothing that special". It's horrid. It makes me upset that they decided to rerecord "Zero" and make it a thousand times worse.[/QUOTE]



yeah, it really seems as though they just tried to ressurect (sp) zero with the everlasting gaze. I'm not a big fan of this song.



The review was nicely done. My two favorite tracks are probably Stand Inside Your Love and The Imploding Voice.

The everlasting gaze deserves about 3 and I of the Mourning 5. this time about 4 or 4.5. other than that i agree :D

Machina II is up for grabs now, I'd rather not do it.

i'll do it then. it has a few truly awful tracks is all.

i love this time and i of the mourning but i was trying to be globally considerate. i also happen to love everlasting gaze though so i guess i just failed

i said 'yes it is' in response to your siamese dream comment.

Most Smashing Pumpkins albums (if not all of them) have some truly awful tracks.

The only truly wonderful SP songs I've ever heard are "Zero", "Mayonnaise", and "Tonight, Tonight". That's it.

True, it's got some good stuff, but it has some serious crap too.

machina 2 has a different level of vile. listen to heavy metal machine version 1 alt mix for six minutes of poorly recorded drum machine and vocals.

i ended up liking CR01, 02, and 03 as a group more than CR04 the actual album. i guess ill write this review later today.

Zero? Wonderfull?!!! its god but not that good! mayonaise is THE best song though so you got that right!:D and i dont think SD or adore have any bad tracks. i like all the songs on both albums. Machina i skip about one track (not becuse i dont like it, just because i cant be bothered to listen to it) Gish i rarely listen to because i like having the thrill everytime i listen to it! its a crazy awesome album. and MCIS its very good, but it couldve been so much better is some of the singles b-sides replaced some songs.

This album exceeded all my expectations. 11 songs i like 4 i dont, thats the best so far (if you count melloncollie as two separate albums, which i did). I agree with everything that ZEROthirtythree said except heavy metal machin should get 4/5. Later,
